TSA misses another security breach

On the evening of November 15, residents on a quiet street in Milton, Massachusetts made a gruesome discovery: the body of a young man bearing signs of mutilation and massive head trauma.

Who was the young man, who were his killers, why would anyone do that to another human being and then leave him here, these questions and more gripped the Boston area.

There is a resolution of sorts, although it raises more questions than it answers.

The young man has been identified as a North Carolina teenager named Delvonte Tisdale, and investigators have concluded that he stowed away in the wheel well of a Boeing 737 bound from Charlotte to Boston and fell from the plane as the landing gear lowered during the plane's approach to Boston's Logan Airport.

The question now is, how was a teenager able to evade airport security in Charlotte, make it onto the tarmac, and climb up into the wheel well of an aircraft without anyone noticing?  This is yet another security breach that the TSA didn't catch.

While holiday travelers are having their genitalia groped by TSA employees, they might venture to ask if anyone in airline security has checked the wheel well of the plane they are about to board.
