DALLAS (CNN) - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was unable to find a woman who breached a security checkpoint at a Texas airport Christmas day, despite a manhunt that left more than 100 flights delayed.

The TSA said agents spotted something suspicious while an elderly woman went through a full-body scanner at the Dallas Fort Woth International Airport.

By the time security agents tried to pull the woman aside for additional screening, she'd already moved into the terminal.

TSA described the slip-up as a minor error, although it sparked a manhunt throughout the entire airport. Security agents mobilized the command post. Officers searched terminals for the women, whose photos were given to gate agents.

In the process, officers held dozens of flights in order to search planes.

"That breach delayed more than 100 flights coming in and out of the airport," said Jonathan Betz, with Dallas Forth Worth International Airport. "Some passengers had to wait up to two hours."

After hours of searching, agents still were not able to locate the woman.

Agents said she did nothing wrong and likely didn't even realize security had flagged her.

People shouldn't be allowed to be in charge of anything, certainly not their fellows' security. The amount of failure between the actual mishap and the reporting is astounding.

Duh, don't you know that everyone would shoot everyone? If people owned guns there would be chaos! (Chuckles at the hilarity that ensues when I point out that the Government owns a large quantity of guns, not to mention much more destructive devices, or when I point out that if you disarm one person while allowing another to be armed, then you get predation -- ah the joys of the State!!!)

the trigger would more than likely not even have to be pulled. If i have a "boxcutter" and i see a guy with a gun....... boxcutter is laid on the floor.

They were probably all huddled around a different porno scanner to watch a buxom sixteen year old blond to pay much attention to that dangerous old lady.

I guess social security for CIA agents don't kick in until 90.
