TSA now accepting applications -- no brain stem required

NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) -- Baggage screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport spotted -- and then lost -- a fake bomb planted in luggage by a supervisor during a training exercise.

Despite an hours-long search Tuesday night, the bag, containing a fake bomb complete with wires, a detonator and a clock, made it onto an Amsterdam-bound flight. It was recovered by airport security officials in Amsterdam when the flight landed several hours later.

And George "WMDs are a slam-dunk!" Tenet gets the Medal of Freedom. I'm not usually a praying man, but save us, Superman.

Thematic: Washington Nationals baseball suspends operations, relocation deal in jeopardy. File this under schaudenfreude.
