Show transcript0:04In the 6 years since the tragedy of 9/11, the Transportation Security Administration says it is keeping our airport safe and secure from attack.0:12What are they? This Onion News Network undercover investigative unit special report may surprise you.0:19We go now to Brian Scott, live from Cedar Rapids.0:22Thank you, Brandon. I'm here at the Eastern Iowa Airport, where this morning we put the national airline security system to the test.0:28We decided to see if TSA's so-called highly trained security personnel could prevent our undercover reporters from smuggling explosive materials on board Continental Flight 742 and detonating them an hour into the flight.0:41Our reporters prepared for their assignment in their hotel rooms early this morning.0:45Brian, we can see that picture now. What exactly are they doing?0:48Yes, they took several components that, when combined, form an explosive device and then hid them inside their luggage.0:53They then proceeded to the airport dressed as ordinary business travelers.0:57Once there, they managed to take the bomb past airport security.1:00They then proceeded to the metal detectors, and get this, Brandon, they walked right through with the bomb.1:06With everything the TSA has been telling us about our, our safety in the airports, how could this possibly happen?1:11Sorry to say, Brandon, it gets even worse. We have some audio from a 911 call.1:16One of the passengers managed to use her cell phone after our reporters had taken over the main cabin.1:33What you just heard, Brandon, was our reporter pistol whipping an innocent female passenger in the face while flight attendants did nothing.1:40That's just chilling.1:41And the same flight attendants did absolutely nothing to stop our reporter from assembling and detonating the bomb, killing everyone on board the flight.1:49I'm told they could not even subdue our reporter, Dan Baker, who, by the way, was in terrible shape.1:54You're absolutely right.1:55Uh, tell me, Brian, have any steps been taken to detain or to punish these screeners responsible for this, this outrageous breach of security?2:03The personnel responsible for the lapse in security have been temporarily suspended.2:07No word yet on whether there will be an investigation or even indictments related to the gross negligence.2:12Well, I'm sure all Americans hope this serves as a wake-up call to the FAA.2:16And the FBI too. Everything required to make the bomb was purchased right on the internet.2:21It cost less than 300 dollars and was delivered to our studio via standard mail.2:25Viewers can get a full list of the components on our website.2:29Well, thank you, Brian. Now, after the break, we'll talk to relatives of the victims of Flight 742, many of whom are demanding answers from the government.
