Viral Video About Body Scanners

It takes TSA seven employees to run this blog and even with that level of staffing TSA can't manage to post comments for days on end.
Sure looks like a waste of taxpayer dollars.

This was such a carefully worded blog post that one can safely conclude that the vulnerability described in the video is true.
I especially like your use of phrases like "some guy" and "crude attempt" in an attempt to discredit the allegations without actually addressing the allegations themselves.

Beautiful, so instead of posting anything to refute the video and/or support it. You give us the old soft shoe and call it good. Sorry, not good enough, if someone has figured out how to bypass the screening. Then this is a cause for concern.

So just to be clear, are you suggesting that the video is faked, and Jonathan Corbett didn't make it through the scanners with the metal object he shows in the video?
You write, "I watched the video and it is a crude attempt to allegedly show how to circumvent TSA screening procedures."
You go on to say that the scanners have found guns, nonmetallic objects, etc., but don't address whether you think the "crude attempt" actually circumvented TSA screening procedures, which seems to be the central question raised about the scanners by the video, and would seem to be the main reason you would want to respond to Corbett--to tell him (and the public) that the method he says he used wouldn't work.

It may have been a crude attempt, but it looks successful at evading detection at airports with both types of scanners. It really makes me question the amount of money spent on the scanners when metal detectors and x-ray machines do a better job at detecting threats. On the weekly roundups of prohibited items, the body scanners seem to catch very few of the items.
How many millions of dollars have been spent on these new scanners? It seems like way too much if somebody can smuggle something by putting it in a pocket on his side.

At one time weren't box cutters a crude attempt? Wasn't PETN in underwear a crude attempt?
This blogger had an apparent successful attempt.
One thing we all learned from 9/11, is that attacks on aviation and transportation don't have to be terribly sophisticated. Yes Bob, they can be "crude."
I'm disappointed in this agency's handling of this successful attempt to test the security of our nation's airports. I think the traveling public would appreciate it more if you admit the obvious faults, and not try to distract from the fact that this individual, or any others with harmful intentions, could have pulled off the next attack,

I think the point of the video is that the machines are not more effective then the metal detectors that they have replaced. In fact they are less effective.

Crude, yes. Also allegedly extremely effective. A method that would not have been detected with metal detectors.
"you know… things that go BOOM."

Can't resist commenting again.
So, TSA detects an artfully concealed item, and it makes that detection a part of its weekly brag report, saying "look how wonderful AIT is, it caught this".
But then when ordinary people find a way to smuggle contraband past a checkpoint, TSA's response is "oh, that's not important, because we have other layers, too".
Either AIT is important, or it's not. Which is it, TSA? *headdesk*

Im so glad there is "video proof" of this object never leaving his pocket. Ill honestly belive it when I see the whole attempt on video, not some broken, editted version that doesn't show him going through the body scanner.

Bob, there are by my count 250 X-ray backscatter machines with no privacy filter and 350 millimeter wave machines with automatic target recognition (gingerbread man filter).
That means 40% of the body scanners are still showing graphic nude images. Your statement that "the vast majority" of body scanners have privacy filters is a glaring lie.

Absolutely hilarious post, but about par for the course, Bob.
"A video is making its way around the interwebs this morning from some guy claiming he figured out a way to beat our body scanners (imaging technology)."
Yep, just "some guy." He certainly doesn't have a name, and if he does he's not worthy of being referred to by it-- he's just "some guy."
"I watched the video and it is a crude attempt to allegedly show how to circumvent TSA screening procedures."
And the 9/11 attacks were a "crude attempt" to bring down several planes, in which they succeeded.
" It's one of the best tools available to detect metallic and non-metallic items, such as… you know… things that go BOOM."
Yes, I suppose "metallic and non-metallic items" include "things that go BOOM." Of course, the category includes, umm, well-- EVERY SINGLE OBJECT IN EXISTENCE. Not to mention the fact that you have apparently never actually detected something that goes "BOOM."
"With all that said, it is one layer of our 20 layers of security (Behavior Detection, Explosives Detection Canines, Federal Air Marshals, , etc.) and is not a machine that has all the tools we need in one handy device."
He also managed to evade your sophisticated human lie detectors (i.e. BDOs). And I've never seen a canine at a checkpoint.
"However, our nation's aviation system is much safer now with the deployment of 600 imaging technology units at 140 airports."
I love how this claim doesn't actually require any substantiation. It's true because you-- "some guy"-- say it is.
Pathetic response from a pathetic employee of a pathetic agency.

The Backscatter Whole Body Strip Search Machines have never been tested for safety even though TSA has claimed such. Mr. Pistole testified before Congress that he would have such testing done then decided his promise to Congress wasn't worth upholding. I could list many less than truthful statements made by the TSA on this very blog but no reason to cover old ground. Mr. Corbett has clearly demonstrated that contraband can be carried through the extremely expensive TSA Strip Search Machines and this indicates testing that was just as ineffective as what TSA did with the Explosive Trace Portals, those other extremely expensive devices that TSA just tossed into the garbage at great expense to the public.
I think TSA has been caught with its drawers down again.

When I saw the viral video, I actually felt skeptical of it. I imagined the scanners could easily defeat the technique shown in the video.
I came to the TSA blog to see the official word, and this blog post made me MORE worried! This post had a highly unprofessional tone, using worm words to be dismissive of the claims of the video. It was a classic exercise in a non-answer, which is precisely the opposite of what an outreach blog should be doing.
I seriously would've been happier with a simple, "We cannot discuss the details of our detection capabilities, but we've taken steps to ensure that scenario described is not a vulnerability."
Instead, this blog post leaves me with the feeling that the vulnerability is real, and that the TSA does not necessarily have any plans or know how to address it.
Please consider providing a more direct, concise, and professional answer. Thank you.

@Anonymous March 7, 2012 4:20 PM, why do you doubt the video is real? The problem was exposed in the scientific literature 15 months ago:
Fundamentally, the problem is that the scanner can only tell whether there is a reflection or not. If nothing comes back it can't tell if that's because there was no target and it just went on past (as would happen when the beam went beside the subject) or whether the beam was absorbed (as when it hit a piece of metal.)

Bob, please take 30 seconds and read this:
I don't agree with your assessment of Corbett's video, but several of my fellow citizens have done a fine job of commenting on that. Here's where I'd like to offer you feedback: you are an online spokesperson for a government agency. Please write like one.
Your use of terms like "interwebs", "BOOM", and your failure to address Mr. Corbett by name does not give you common ground with your internet audience. We are adults (adolescents and teens are -- no offense -- probably not going to read your article). Please talk to us like adults. Using juvenile speech while representing an agency of our Great Nation just makes you look dumb and taints your organization's already tainted name.
Do better next time. Read your Presidents. Read Churchill. These were (and are) men who spoke valiantly and courageously during perilous times.

I read this blog to try and find some logic into the wasteful government spending that is the TSA and I have yet to find it. A post like this only hurts your already thin credibility.
Please, issue a retraction and just say that the TSA is looking into it. The world is full of smart people and perhaps this person found a loophole. What's the worst that could happen by posting an apology for your tone and demeaning attitude? A little good will thrown your way perhaps?

* improvised weapons - eg a broken biro or glass from a bathroom mirror
* multiple bad actors carrying components... all inert and under 3 fl oz until combined

This is completely in keeping with the TSA's usual success rate of about 30% in catching bombs, guns, etc. The problem is that Mr. Corbett didn't try it enough times to be fair to the TSA. He only went through twice, so he only had a 60% probability of being detected. To be fair, he should have done it at least five times so that the TSA would have better odds of catching him.
Why do you people hate the TSA so? They are only trying to keep us safe. Please only grade them on their performance in catching fake hand grenades and bottles of water, not actual threats.

Dear Bob,
Please remember why Jonathan cares about this. It's because while these scanners are known to have risks we don't know how high those risks go.
Not only is their safety level unknown but the stated risk from them (standing in the sun has a risk, we can be certain these scanners have a risk) is about the same as the risk of being caught in a terrorist attack.
Pretty unlikely to be caught in a terrorist attack right? Also pretty unlikely to contract cancer from a machine but it turns out that the two risks are about equivalent and since the long term risks of the scanners are unknown, putting our children and our families through them is not what we'd like to do.
So Bob, while we appreciate your work and stopping "things that go boom" you're making some other things (our DNA) go fizz in the process.
In fact since the stated risk fromt the scanners is the same as the likelihood of getting caught in a terrorist attack you are in fact doing the terrorists job for them.
For the sake of your children be glad that Jonathan made this video. He's saving lives too

Since then, the TSA has responded to the video with a blog post of its own, with a stunning display of arrogance and failing to address the issues at hand."

A blog post is making its way around the interwebs from some guy playing down security concerns regarding the company he works for.
I read the post and it is a crude attempt to mock the blogger who apparently found a way of tricking the TSA screening procedures.
For obvious PR reasons the employee can't discuss the subject in detail, but he choses to reassure concerned passengers by completely ignoring the accusations and subtly claiming they'd still detect "things that go BOOM".
With all that said, the way a TSA blogger handles criticism is just one factor of how well protected the public feels (innovation, employee behaviour, security technology etc.). It certainly doesn't say "Shut the hell up, we're here for the funding."

Your attacks and contempt for him have done more harm to the TSA than he ever could. Shame, Bob.sooner or later the truth about these machines and your prevarications will be outed and you will be the one remembered as the great TSA liar.

The only thing done right on this blog post is leaving the comments unmoderated. The ridiculous response is shocking to the point of being frightening, and is pretty much a long winded version of a five year old saying "nu-UHHH" to the evidence in hand. Retract this blog post, write an intelligent and mature response to the video and realize that dismissing something doesn't illegitimize it - you have to disprove it. In that vein, I would love to see the video of him going through the checkpoint. If he failed (as you implied) then it's as simple as releasing the video for you to disprove him :)

>> things that go BOOM
Bob, a passenger can be arrested at the checkpoint for joking about bombs, yet you think it's funny to use a phrase such as "things that go BOOM">
Your agency has lost all the respect of many Americans, and it's high time to cut back funding for the TSA. Cut number one should be your job and this blog, because it's clear you have no desire to address real concerns.
Again, how you can fall asleep at night knowing you hold the job you do is beyond me.
And even if you decide to not post this, hopefully your conscience will have started to stir after all these posts.

"I'm disappointed in this agency's handling of this successful attempt to test the security of our nation's airports. I think the traveling public would appreciate it more if you admit the obvious faults, and not try to distract from the fact that this individual, or any others with harmful intentions, could have pulled off the next attack,"
They will *never* admit that there are faults because there isn't any way to fix them. They are pretending to do a job that is simply impossible.
Admitting to the faults would amount to admitting that they are useless. No bureaucracy is going to kill itself like that.

You go on to say that the scanners have found guns, nonmetallic objects, etc., but don't address whether you think the "crude attempt" actually circumvented TSA screening procedures, which seems to be the central question raised about the scanners by the video, and would seem to be the main reason you would want to respond to Corbett--to tell him (and the public) that the method he says he used wouldn't work.

Read up a little bit on Corbett. He is suing TSA for a lot of money.
If he were a true patriot, he would have reported his findings to the TSA. But he has an agenda and that wouldn't have helped him.
Actually, Corbett claims that he did share the video with TSA, repeatedly, before going public with it. Corbett previewed it to TSA to give TSA an opportunity to plan some corrective response to this glaring security flaw. TSA doesn't intend to address its glaring security flaws, because the TSA doesn't care about our safety. Travelers already knew that TSA was more likely to harm us than to protect us. The real success of Corbett's video is that with the play this is getting in the mainstream media, even Ma and Pa Kettle won't be able to stomach spending billions of dollars on the TSA's make-believe.

Our country isn't one bit safer due to the TSA. In fact, the TSA are actively making our country *less* safe by creating a false sense of security and misleading people about the nature of security and the threats we face.
And even *if* the TSA were responsible for some marginal increase in safety, that would not be a worthwhile tradeoff for the sacrifices we're asked to make vis-a-vis our inate civil liberties.
Bottom line: The TSA should be completely disbanded, and security should become the responsibility of: A. the airlines, B. the airports, C. the passengers.

And oh, say, what's the protocol if and when someone actually does have explosives under their clothes? Because last time I checked TSA agents don't have police powers of arrest or even guns. So the person is kindly asked to step aside until the police can arrive? What stops this person from blowing themselves up then and there, killing or injuring the hundreds who can be queued up in the line for security checks during busy travel seasons?

As a person who has to opt out of these scanners for medical reasons, I really do not like these machines. They have caused me to endure patdowns that are more suited to prison than air travel.
It is infuriating to see these scanners defeated so easily. These machines cost a lot of money and are no more, and likely less effective than the metal detectors that have been used for years.
When I go through my invasive patdown for opting-out, I always get swabbed for explosive residue. If that is combined with metal detectors and x-ray machine, that seems like a much better and less intrusive security method than the scanners.

The TSA and DHS are two of the biggest embarrassments in American history. It would be funny if it weren't our liberties and tax dollars being pissed away. Those charged with ensuring our security can't perceive the merit of a threat exposed, for example, by "some guy" walking through security with a concealed metal container, versus my ability to carry a bottle of water with me on when I fly to California.

Displaying a generic image to a screener doesn't "completely" satisfy any privacy concerns. The machine still has the raw image on disk and those images have been "accidentally" stored and leaked from screening machines before.
It's still an electronic strip search.
It's also not your job to search for anything other than banned items. If the machine successfully detects something that's not a threat, that's a failure, even if the item is illegal for other reasons.

There is a very simple solution to this problem. The position that one stands in front of the scanner will allow for items to be hidden because of blind spots on the side of a body, because the view is head on. If the body position is turned slightly so the scanner sees front & side at the same time, the entire body will be covered with NO blind spots, issue solved.... ....but alas, I am sure TSA will never think of that!

*headdesk* ... when *facepalm* isn't sufficient. Okay, so I understand the value of the TSA's security theater ... up to a point. It's dangerous when people drive instead of flying, because flying is so much safer than driving, even if a few planes drop out of the sky every decade. "Hey, trust us, your airplanes are safe! See? We have these magic boxes which detect bad people!" But beyond a certain point (and we left that point in the rear view mirror years ago) the security theater starts to CAUSE people to drive instead of fly.
The TSA should be shut down immediately. If airlines want to implement any security policies, they are free to do so -- and other airlines are free not to -- and people are free to choose. Remember freedom? That's what the TSA is here to defend.

Can you give us the names of the terrorists that you have caught with your 20 layers of security?

I guess if were to comment on the same level as the original blog post, I would say this:
Herp derp! You keep catching those epic fails! Terrorist can not has the BOOMS! YAY TSA! Stupid public, why you no love TSA?! They has all the cheezburgers and can stop the BOOMS!
Of course... that's not the point here. Then again, that may be the "majority of America" that keeps the TSA in business through blind stupidity, thus the blog is in the correct language to stay in business!

This goes back to the absurdity that the workers wear badges that say 'Officer' even though the TSA has not been granted that authority. If you have to fake something as stupid as that, how can we trust you on the scanners safety OR effectiveness?

Oh, you have 20 layers of security, do you? And you admit here that this guy successfully got through ALL 20 LAYERS with his "crude" attempt. Wow.

I'm quite confident in TSA's ability to track down mothers with breast pumps and harass the elderly. I've seen little evidence they are capable of stopping anyone who seriously is committed to smuggling weapons or explosives on board a plane. TSA is a nuisance and airport security is a joke riddles with flaws.

well if "some guy" (why not use his name?)
gets through your scanner with a "crude attempt", then apparently that is all you need.
God help your exercise in humiliation and social control if a "sophisticated attempt" is made

I like this line the best: "...one of the best tools available to detect metallic and non-metallic items, such as… you know… things that go BOOM.". Yeah, because the 9/11 hijackers used "things that go BOOM." to hijack the planes...oh wait they used box cutters, didn't they? Just another of the exponentially many reasons how the TSA is out-of-touch with not only their own reality, but the reality of American history.

Just like everything else the bloated, insatiable government touches it's buracracy can never be streamlined to meet the evolving security needs. Give yourself extra time and get the pat down... I like to think of it as "getting my monies worth". Although I am disgusted that an frequent traveling, law abiding citizen has to do such things. This blog is a joke and its another sad representation of a failed agency.

You don't have to be a sarcastic jerk in your blog post about this.
"It's one of the best tools available to detect metallic and non-metallic items, such as… you know… things that go BOOM."

1. Remind me again how many of those 9/11 terrorists that downed airplanes on US soil used "things that go boom"? None to my knowledge.
2. How about you step back off your soapbox, pay attention to what is being shown as a gaping whole in your 20th layer of security, thank the man for his input, and fix it rather than stubbornly digging in to your position.
I find your total lack of introspection that you could possibly be doing something better typical of government programs.

20 Layers? What is this, security through baklava? Anyways, this post is laughable as is the TSA.
- March 8, 2012 at 12:56 PM

Two things. First, you have to understand the TSA is an inherently reactionary body, expect to see a modification of current procedures to deal specifically with this "threat" while also doing absolutely nothing to address any real security problems.
Secondly, if the airlines are "safer" with the TSA, it's only because flying has become such an onerous prospect that a lot fewer people bother anymore. The odds of the next terrorist attack involving airplanes or airports in any way are relatively small, at this point it's old hat and wouldn't be as effective. We need to work on more effective means of screening and dealing with terrorist threats, but the TSA isn't one of them. If you want to see how this should be done, look to the FBI, who runs a fairly successful anti-terror task force.

If the scanners are "completely safe" why did the TSA union fight for screeners to be given personal dossimeters to be worn on the uniform? Who's paying for these dossimeters that measure radiation from the completely safe scanners? Please explain.

It is one thing to mock someone who tries to circumvent the rules of the TSA, I get that, but it is totally another thing to flat out lie to the people who are reading this. What Mr. Corbett did is not something novel, even as he points out in his video. These security threats via this detection system were known, and while I have no proof I would HOPE they were known at the highest levels of our TSA and government.If not that tells us even more than we need to know about how well TSA has done their job.
The people really are not buying this story anymore than we need to be grabbed, prodded, and examined like race horses before we get in a plane. The people are getting more wise and are beginning to voice their opinions. An agency with no elected representatives in control are making rules that Congress would otherwise be taking up and we are supposed to take this seriously?
Laugh off this man's video if you wish, but if he showed we the people anything he showed us that even the government can be outsmarted every once and a while and if the government can be outsmarted it is time to give up the narrative that the TSA is the only way to keep people safe. We could keep people free AND safe by privatizing the TSA, but since it is filled with government bureaucrats I know that won't go down well with many IN the TSA.

Without question anyone can get material capable for bringing down a large airliner thru TSA. TSA is 50% theater at best. The guy in the video clearly went through with a metallic item in his pocket.

This would all be funny if it didn't cost America billions of dollars and trample all over the rights we thought were protected by the Constitution.
The good news is that I know a guy who carries a small knife (about the size of nail clippers) through security every time he flies. So at least one upstanding citizen will be lightly armed if bad guys ever attempt to hijack a plane again. Oh wait, the bad guys already accomplished everything they wanted and more by bankrupting our country. While we were focused on airplanes, the real danger took over congress.

Wow, way to avoid the issue raised by the video you allude to: What you call security isn't security.

The TSA obviously take your security about as seriously as a rumor of snow in Nigeria. A national Embarrassment. They fave failed numerous internal tests where weapons have successfully been smuggled onboard commercial aircraft. The viral video had an undeniable point.

Can I just take a minute to talk about how we got to this point?
John Pistole has said that the security process needs to be a partnership between the TSA and the traveling public, and for a long time, it was. No shoes- fine. No liquids? That's kind of a pain, but okay. We went along with all the rules, because, hey, safety, right?
Then, the AIT machines came along, and the public said, "Whoa, wait a minute." And instead of listening to the public's concerns, and realizing that the TSA was approaching the limit of what the public would accept, Pistole doubled down, and introduced the "Enhanced patdown" for those who refused to be scanned. He is the one that broke the partnership, and now you have this: Instead of just some third-world terrorist trying to figure out how to circumvent TSA technology, you have a whole crowd of "some guys" doing the same thing, and a whole audience of patriotic Americans (myself included) who are loving them for it.
If you want to restore the "partnership" with the American people, you need to LISTEN to what we will and will not accept in the name of security.

It would have been far more constructive to actually address the concerns raised in the video. Dismissive and evasive appearances to not increase confidence. We deserve straight answers from the TSA, and sense this is an official TSA blog, I believe the post should have been responsive to the issue: are we safe? Instead there was snark. In a way, we may be worse off than we were on 09/10/2001: we now have a dedicated high cost agency that is acting arrogant, instead of a small embatttled security force being prevented by PC conncerns from doing their job. I would respectfully urge the TSA leadership to treat this seriously and not again indulge in the attitude expressed by this blogger.

The Mount Pleasant Exchange Club announced Mike Smith, of Squad 507, as its recipient for this year's Firefighter of the Year award, March 27 at Zeus Grill.
Six chiefs and sergeants from the Mount Pleasant Fire Department were on hand to honor Smith, according to Exchange Club spokeswoman Sheryl Bidwell.
Smith, a Massachusetts native, began his fire service career in 2004 in Arlington County. Two years later, he became a paramedic.
In 2008, Smith moved back to his hometown of Hanson, Mass. to work for the city's fire department as a firefighter and paramedic. Now with Squad 507 in Mount Pleasant, which is a quick-response vehicle operating out of Station 7 on Bowman Road, he is continuing his service as both a firefighter and paramedic. He was hired in 2010, according to provided information.

Charleston County Government approved funding for a road improvement project to construct additional through lanes in both directions in Mount Pleasant on the Isle of Palms Connector.
The project beings at Highway 17 and ends at Riveria Drive, according to a news release by RoadWise, a program of Charleston County Government. It aims to reduce vehicle congestion on the connector, particularly at the Rifle Range Road intersection.
The project will be funded by the Transportation Sales Tax. RoadWise held a public meeting for community input on the matter Feb. 9 at Whiteside Elementary.
The area of the bridge that goes over the marsh will not be affected.
Cronin gets award
Isle of Palms mayor Dick Cronin was awarded the annual Barrett Lawrimore Tourism Award for Leadership, June 11. It is presented by the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, according to the city's e-newsletter.
The award recognizes an elected official who prioritizes tourism initiatives. Cronin's work with the state Department of Revenue on the "reconciliation and reporting of Accomodations Tax," according to the report, earned him the honor.
It is named after the late Charleston County Council chairman Barrett Lawrimore.
