Overhead Bin - Report shows 'gaping hole' in airport security

A couple of years ago one of my nieces was flying home from college for Christmas. There were no direct flights and one required a terminal change, so she passed through security in a couple of different domestic airports.

When she arrived home she was emptying out her backpack (which she carried on) and did a double-take.

At the bottom of her backpack was her suture kit, complete with scalpel, replacement blades, needles and a few other odds and ends.

Went through security just fine...

TSA is a joke. A ton of money pissed away for a figment of security.

Heck, most of the TSA screeners seem like more of a security risk than the people they are screening.

And Newark is a hole, I pity the fool has to fly in/out/or through there.

I tend to agree -- if I'm going to fly out of anywhere in NYC, LaGuardia is preferred, no matter how much people whinge about the place.
(a) it caters to a lot of impatient business travellers, so TSA keeps the line moving along well, and security isn't much stricter than pre-9/11.
(b) it's 15 min cab ride from my home
(c) you get an awesome view of NYC when taking off and flying west Sorry, but Newark Bay is just no comparison.

^^^ But which has the best approach to the Hudson?

LaGuardia, of course, or maybe Teterboro I actually saw Sullenberger's plane land in the Hudson.

Those are good paying union jobs!
