Internal TSA Report: Screeners at Newark Airport Not Following Pat Down Procedures, Not Confiscating

Security screeners at Newark Liberty Airport are failing miserably by not properly patting-down fliers and failing to confiscate prohibited items from carry-on bags, according to an internal Transportation Security Administration report.

Newark-based TSA officers followed proper patdown procedures only a dismal 16.7 percent of the time and removed banned items from baggage, such as shampoo bottles larger than 3 ounces, just 25 percent of the time, auditors found.
