The GAO conducted a test at 21 airports. This test consisted of smuggling in easily available bomb components onto airplanes. They succeeded 21 for 21.
Airline screeners fail government bomb tests
[...]
In all 21 airports tested, no machine, no swab, no screener anywhere stopped the bomb materials from getting through. Even when investigators deliberately triggered extra screening of bags, no one discovered the materials.
Obligatory statement from TSA:
Detecting explosive materials and IEDs at the checkpoint is TSA's top priority.
Well, OK then. I feel much safer. How about you?
