Airport Screeners miss bomb parts!?

This is an excerpt from Yahoo News: Washington - Government investigators smuggled liquid explosives and detonators past airport security, exposing a dangerous hole in the nation's ability to keep these forbidden items off of airplanes, according to a report made public Wednesday. The investigators learned about the components to make a improvised explosive device and an improvised incendiary device on the Internet said purchased the parts at local stores, said the report by the Government Accountability Office. Investigators were able to purchase the components for the two devices for under $159, and they studied the published guidelines for screening to determine how to conceal the prohibited items as they went through checkpoint security. At the end of their testing, investigators concluded that terrorists could use publicly available information and a few cheaply available supplies to damage an airplane and threaten passenger safety. What do you think of this? Of airport security in general? Do you think that there are loopholes in the security at airports? Do you think that the security would get even more invasive and worse?
