Authorities tell ABC News the incident is not uncommon, but how often it occurs is a closely guarded government secret. Experts say every year since the September 11 attacks, federal agencies have conducted random, covert tests of airport security.

A person briefed on the latest tests tells ABC News the failure rate approaches 70 percent at some major airports. Two weeks ago, TSA's new director said every test gun, bomb part or knife got past screeners at some airports.

A TSA spokesperson says the agency has conducted an investigation, saying remedial training was provided to the security officers involved in the incident. Advanced imaging technology and more stringent pat downs have also since been implemented.

WOW they had em go through some more training! And more stringent pat-downs! That'll really help them catch a loaded gun in a laptop case. Seems to me like they're too busy fwapping to those nudie pics coming through the body imaging monitors.

This scanner stuff is getting all the attention.

I wonder what vulnerabilities an airport really has. I bet a really good terr could completely bypass all their bullshit and get something on a plane.

I wonder how long until TSA brings Mr Seif up on charges?

If it was me I would NEVER have admitted to the TSA that I had committed a felony but they were idiots and missed it (especially after embarrassing them publicly) ... I'd just swing by a sporting goods store wherever I was and buy a locking case and check the gun on the flight back per TSA rules and pretend it never happened.
