| 摘要： | The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses undercover, or covert, testing to approximate techniques that terrorists may use to identify vulnerabilities in and measure the performance of airport security systems. During these tests, undercover inspectors attempt to pass threat objects through passenger and baggage screening systems, and access secure airport areas. In response to a congressional request, GAO examined (1) TSAs strategy for conducting covert testing of the transportation system and the extent to which the agency has designed and implemented its covert tests to achieve identified goals; and (2) the results of TSAs national aviation covert tests conducted from September 2002 to June 2007, and the extent to which TSA uses the results of these tests to mitigate security vulnerabilities. To conduct this work, GAO analyzed covert testing documents and data and interviewed TSA and transportation industry officials. To ensure that TSA is more fully using the results of covert tests, GAO recommends that TSA document causes of test failures; as TSA explores the use of covert testing in non-aviation modes of transportation, coordinate with transportation organizations that conduct covert tests; and develop a systematic process to evaluate covert testing recommendations. DHS and TSA reviewed a draft of this report and concurred with GAOs recommendations. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
