You'll find a lot more information if you spell the woman's name
"Faillace" when you search.

She claims that the USDA falsified test results, then accidentally
destroyed the samples to prevent the tests from being rerun. (Retesting
had been ordered by a federal district judge).

I dunno if it's true or not, but it fits nicely with the mode of
operations at airports, borders, etc, where the security is all for
show. It's not Homeland Security, it's Homeland Security Theatre. (The
best example is the National Guard troops stationed on the Mexican
border with orders not to do anything. They've had to retreat when
fired upon by Mexican drug runners -- one wonders if the NG is even
armed or if they are carrying empty rifles)

"Your tax dollars at work" HTH ;-)
