TSA whistleblowers describe security concerns, culture of 'fear and distrust'

Washington DC - Whistleblowers on Tuesday portrayed the beleaguered Transportation Security Administration as an agency mired in a culture of “fear and distrust” while raising security concerns over several programs -- including TSA PreCheck, in which passes for expedited screening allegedly are passed out “like Halloween candy.”

The TSA employees leveled their criticism during a Senate hearing that follows recent bombshell inspector general reports. 

One showed undercover agents were able to sneak fake explosives and banned weapons through airport checkpoints about 96 percent of the time; the findings led to the acting TSA secretary being reassigned last week. 

A second report released Monday showed the agency failed to flag 73 commercial airport workers "linked to terrorism."

The hearing was cut short by a bomb threat. More
