Testers smuggle bomb parts into buildings

Today in Washington D.C. a head of the Federal Protective Service took the blame Wednesday for a series of security lapses that allowed investigators to sneak components of bombs into 10 federal buildings. Investigators in plainclothes tested the effectiveness of private contract guards at federal buildings was able to smuggle bomb components in all 10 attempts. One investigator was stopped and questioned but was eventually let through with the bomb components. Once the investigators got inside the buildings they went to the bathrooms and put the bombs together, then put them in briefcases and walked freely into government offices. When the director was asked why the security guards had failed he said that it was a lack of oversight. The investigators bought all of the components over the internet for less than $150. When these investigators was trying to get into the buildings at the checkpoint clearly the guards was not looking at the screen that clearly shows the materials passing through. I feel that this is a serious problem because if they was able to get past security at these buildings that means they can get into any building in Washington D.C or anywhere in the country. Clearly these guards are not doing their job.
