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

Has the Newark International Airport hired Crocodile Dundee as a screener?

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.

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.

Doing it while being recorded on video is absolutely, positively... something one would expect from the TSA.

The Difference Between Newark TSA and a Sommelier...

A sommelier never loses track of a bottle of wine.
The crack TSA team at EWR come through again. What appears to be wine bottles requires secondary screening, but only if the unescorted passenger goes to the screening themselves. Otherwise the TSA loses track of the passenger,the wine and shuts down part of the airport for a while.
