Report: S.F. Airport Screeners Alerted to Undercover Testers

I'm still trying to figure out why this hasn't been carried by American mainstream media outlets...

An AP newswire article, via CNews (Canada), reports that:

Security checkpoint managers at San Francisco International Airport were warned when undercover inspectors came to test how well screeners detected fake bombs and weapons, a government report said Tuesday.

The report, obtained by The Associated Press, confirms allegations brought in February 2005 by a whistleblower who formerly worked for Covenant Aviation Security.

Covenant provides security at the San Francisco airport, one of a handful of airports that uses private companies under a program established by Congress.
