TSA screeners at Newark Liberty International Airport lost a woman who reportedly tested positive for explosives on Sunday and only put the airport on lock-down when she boarded a flight to Cleveland, Ohio.
Earlier in the day, the Transportation Security Administration at the airport misplaced a piece of checked luggage that had also tested positive for explosives and couldn’t find it for 45 minutes. The bomb squad cleared the oversize bag — but only two and a half hours after it was discovered.
The security failures caused more than 100 flights at the busy airport to be cancelled and dozens more delayed as furious passengers waited for hours — only to learn their planes were not going to take off.

Scare: This is the test that flagged an over-sized checked bag — which the TSA then lost for 45 minutes and sent to the tarmac
About 8.45am, a woman slipped through a TSA checkpoint at Terminal C before being fully screened.
Fox 5 New York reported that the woman was flagged in a preliminary test for explosives.
The TSA refused to comment on the report that possible explosives were involved.
If they stopped the bombing this would have been the first time TSA could use to justify their existence
They would not have lost this man’s remarks, would they?
