The GAO also stated TSA does not have a specific procedure that ensures its Office of Inspection's recommendations are taken into consideration nor does it document the reason those recommendations will or will not be implemented.
GAO said it is too early to see if the program, conducted from September 2002 to June 2007, will meet its goals because TSA is still analyzing test data.
The report says that while TSA has a well established covert testing program in commercial aviation, other types of transportation are not regulatory tested.
