Makes you scratch your head and more.....this is our government's finest system at work to ensure front-line air carrier safety??
I'll be the first to agree the system is not perfect, but the lack of "attention" & non-working equipment is enough to make you want to puke.
What a joke.

BTW....didn't see any mention of plans in motion to recoup the cost imposed to air carrier's that were affected by this little 'slip-up'.
