The article "Most Fake Bombs Not Found" by Jeanne Meserve made me think about how much the airports have truly improved from 9/11. Thursday the security administration reported that in local airports in Los Angeles only 25% of the fake bombs were found and in California only 40% of the fake bombs were discovered. Even though these numbers are low it is reported that these numbers are much higher than the ones from 2005. TSA now conducts daily tests adding up to 2,500 a day in which they say has improved great overall but won't release the test numbers. TSA also said that they are hoping to release even better machinery to help within the next year. What I think matters from this story is the obvious fact that even after 9/11 and the plane hijackings that took place that day you would think that the officials in charge would make necessary changes to where we're getting a lot better than 25-40% I mean if you think about it if terrorists sent two bombs at least one of them would get through, now that’s a scary thought. How it relates to me is I would say next time I'm going through the scanners at the airport I'll think twice before I feel safe because I used to think that after walking through them you were safe but now I probably won't.
