Washington (CNN) — The most recent independent tests of airport checkpoints showed screener performance “falling off the charts,” according to the top Republican on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.Results of the tests, in which plainclothes agents tried to sneak bomb components past screeners, are classified, but Rep. John Mica, R-Florida, said they went “from poor to worse.”
The tests were conducted at U.S. airports in late 2008 and early 2009 by the Government Accountability Office, the independent investigative arm of Congress.
