More proof that Americans are not taking the terrorism threat anywhere near as seriously as they should. From CBS 2 Chicago:

CBS) CHICAGO “Fly At Your Own Risk” is a CBS 2 continuing undercover investigation at O’Hare Airport, and it just got even more alarming. 2 Investigator Dave Savini reports on exclusive details.

Officials at O’Hare International Airport are refusing to interview with CBS 2 about our latest findings. The 2 Investigators have found more security breaches and a failure by authorities to investigate.

O’Hare is one of the busiest airports in the nation, and may be one of the most vulnerable.

The 2 Investigators have learned that 47 more employee access badges are missing, bringing the total we’ve discovered to 3,807 – the biggest security failure involving access badges ever to be exposed.

“Doesn’t surprise me,” said Marcia Pinkston. “I am surprised you didn’t find more.”

Airport employees are allowed to go through a back gate. All they have to do is show their access badge. They are not searched.

“It’s really scary just thinking that anyone can go into secure areas of O’Hare,” Pinkston said.

The latest missing badges belong to employees of Mesa Airlines, which operates flights for United Express. One of them belonged to Pinkston, who worked as a flight attendant.

She says she was fired for complaining about security. She says the airline never asked her to return her access badge and for months she could have used it to gain access to airplanes.

“Just anybody can go in there,” she said.
