EWR TSA- "That's Not a Knife..."

Has the Newark International Airport hired Crocodile Dundee as a screener? What reason, other than a gross misconception regarding what size of blade qualifies as a knife, could explain how a serrated folding knife went through an airport checkpoint unnoticed? Do read the Full Story below to see TSA spokesperson Ann Davis describe how the TSA screener who missed the knife will receive remedial training.
Remedial?
If a TSA screener is missing knives that go through their checkpoint, they don't need remedial training they need training. This is what happens when the qualifications for being a TSA screener consist of 'must like pizza'. The Full Story below also notes how on the same day as the knife incident at Newark Liberty, TSA officers detected and removed a smoke bomb from a passenger's luggage. A 5" long smokebomb in the shape of a stick of dynamite with 'mammoth smoke' written on the side of it in brightly colored letters.
Next time Wile E. Coyote should just pack a knife.
