STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Yampa Valley Regional Airport's top official says security is being jeopardized after passenger screening machines were removed this week.

The airport's full-body scanner was taken out on Tuesday as part of a federal reorganization.

Airport Manager Dave Ruppel tells Steamboat Today security officials are now doing pat-downs on passengers and using an older walk-through metal detector.

Gee, the "army of idiots" jobs program may have to actually think.. Oops, that can't happen these guys get a Federal paycheck. I guess some of those Al Queda terrorists in Steamboat won't be x-rayed enough.
