If the TSA performs these types of "try and get in the airplane by any means practical" investigations on a regular basis at numerous airports around the country, one would think the administration has an obligation to inform the respective airline's operations manager, or at least the flight crew for the aircraft, for that base/airplane that the inspection has taken place before they even board any passengers. Think if something less noticeable were to be broken by an overzealous TSA agent?
Hopefully this incident will open the public's eyes to one of an apparently many organizational and administrative flaws the TSA currently has and will help to improve what could and needs to be a very useful and well run agency if run by the right people.
