Deja Vu is the Uncanny Sense of Having Experienced Deja Vu Before

This weeks story of the TSA losing a passenger whose luggage required additional screening comes from LAX- again.
Blah Blah Blah- security breach...
Yadda Yadda Yadda- passenger and flight delays...
It has been less than a month since the last such incident at Los Angeles International and one has to wonder what TSA spokesperson Suzanne Trevino means in the Full Story below when she states "Had all of our procedures been followed this morning, we would not have had to call for a security breach.". What procedures could she be referring too that allow the same thing to happen twice in less than a month at one airport and previously at EWR, PHX, HOU since February.
A Senate Joint Economic Committee determined in 2008 that flights delayed for any reason cost $40B in 2007. That money was partly airline costs, partly extra jet fuel for idling planes, partly extra manpower... no word on whether it included the cost of all the eggs that the TSA needs to continuously apply to its own face.
