Ridiculous security breach @ La Guardia

[I did check if this was a duplicate, I don't think it is but have an apology on standby if I'm wrong]

How, with all of the security, scanners, red alerts, September 11 etc, does this keep f***ing happening?

Woman Gets Past N.Y. Airport Security With Stun Gun, Knife
Officials Call Incident 'Honest But Odd Mistake'

POSTED: 2:30 p.m. EST January 25, 2004

DENVER -- Transportation security officials are calling it "an honest but odd mistake."


A woman passed through security screening at New York's LaGuardia Airport with a stun gun and knife in her purse. She realized she was carrying the items while on a flight to Denver after a short layover in Detroit.


A Spirit Airlines representative said the woman realized she wasn't supposed to have those items with her -- and called the flight attendant over.


The pilot alerted Denver International Airport and police met the plane at the gate. The woman was taken into custody for questioning and later released without charges.


The Transportation Security Administration said it will investigate the security slip.
It seems that the only thing you need to do now to beat security is not brag about it
