GOP: Hawaii Airport Baggage Handling Report Shows ‘System-Wide Problems’ With TSA

That’s the title of this article in The Hill. Excerpt:

Republicans in the House are seizing on a report from the Department of Homeland Security that recommends changes to the Transportation Security Administration after an investigation of improperly screened checked baggage at a Hawaiian airport last year.  

The TSA announced last year that it was firing close to 30 employees at Honolulu International Airport (HNL) for allowing luggage to pass through security without being checked for explosives.
