Like, cops don't exist solely to catch people breaking laws. They also function to deter and make it more difficult for people to break laws.

i heard a guy (on NPR) taking the "it's not as bad as it looks" stance. His points were that these were trained operatives, intimately aware of the specific weaknesses in procedure and equipment capabilities and they didnt have the chance to be prescreened or racially profiled like they would when trying to intercept real terrorists.

Seriously?

it was seriously what this person said. i think he was some former tsa director or HSA official or something

Just how bad at their job are those 3 agents who got caught? That has to be embarrassing for them.

I wonder if the three that were caught were attractive women, who were therefore subjected to an additional patdown? Without more information, I think this is the most plausible explanation.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
