Ah.

Disagree. Firstly, all checked bags originating in the US undergo a CTX scan. Supposedly. Now if you believe this was not done or is ineffective in detecting an explosive device, then that's a whole other can of worms...
CO knew who Spork's daughter was, where she was and why she had missed the
connection. Don't know who made the call not to pull her bag, CSR or the Capt., but since the plane is NOT at the bottom of the Atlantic it appears to have been a good call.
If nobody actually made any kind of call and no intervention of any kind happened, then I would agree CO was derelict. I'm guessing they weighed the situation and determined a complete absence of threat.
Tough on daughter no. 2, but hey **** happens.
