Houston Hobby? Oh Come On!!

The TSA just doesn't seem to understand that a good comedy bit can be overworked. Oh sure there are classics out there- pie in the face, slipping on a banana peel or unexpected hit to the crotch. But pulling someone aside for additional screening, losing them, declaring a security breach and delaying passengers and planes has jumped the shark.
It's like a knock knock joke... told by a 6 year old... for an entire day.
This time it is the highly qualified men and women of the Houston Hobby TSA who lost their man. Other than that the story is pretty much sixth verse same as the first. Or, in this case, sixth verse same as the third, since it was only back in late February that HOU TSAFailed in the exact same way.
All of us at TSAFail are tempted to create a spin off blog just to cover this increasingly stinky joke. Unfortunately, TSAlostapersonforsecondaryscreeningandshutdownanairport-again.blogspot.com doesn't have the same cachet.
In case you missed the previous five incidents from this year that we have covered, please see: LAX,LAX, HOU,PHX, EWR. As always, the details of todays TSAFail are in the Full Story below:

Houston TSA Proves that Lemmings Travel in Groups of 3

It has been 7 days and 3 secondary security breaches resulting in a closed airport terminal. This time it's the Houston Hobby TSA team trying to keep up the average and losing their man in the process. Good job ladies and gentlemen at HOU. Here at TSAFail, we know that it requires diligent teamwork between screeners and secondary screeners to let 3 people slip by in a week. That kind of coordinated effort surely can't come without some serious training and well laid out policies and procedures coming straight from the chief of the organization himself. All of this is even more impressive when one considers that the TSA hasn't had a chief for over a year.
Here at TSAFail, we believe that the TSA won't rest in their mission until they are losing flagged passengers and shutting down airports daily.
