The dynamite was discovered during a baggage search in an inspection station at George Bush Intercontinental Airport shortly after a Continental Airlines flight landed Friday.
The head of the Transportation Security Administration said the government was aware of the potential problem posed by international airports and was taking steps to fix it.
