Homeland Security at work: federal buildings fail to catch bomb materials
Government Accountability Office investigators smuggled bomb-making materials past security in several of the federal buildings and found security lacking.
GAO said the investigators carried the materials into 10 federal buildings, assembled the explosive devices, and carried them around the buildings.
Among the security breaches, investigators found one guard asleep after taking the painkiller Percocet and one who allowed a box of handguns to pass through an x-ray machine.
For security purposes, the GAO report did not list the location of the buildings.
