I like how Janet Napolitano, our brilliant head of hs, said earlier today that "The System worked Perfectly"...and later recanted and changed her tune to "the system has failed". Reneger
The US Military is not a police force, and I hope it never will never be used to police it's citizens.
Especially not if BO follows through with his intent to stupidly make soldiers pay for their own health care, because that will adversely affect their willingness to duty and morale
When homeland security said that the idiot's name couldn't be instantly found in a list of 500,000 , the BS alert went off. I can search billions of sites on google in mere seconds.
coupled with this
A young guy who paid $3000 cash for a one way ticket, with no luggage and who left no contact info should have raised some concern especially since his dear old Dad alerted the U.S. Embassy that he was a threat to the U.S.
makes the whole situation ludicrous. You don't need to be a genius to throw down the red flag on this one. I wouldn't even call that profiling, it's blatant.
Though this reactive system of security will never work, especially since we're (obviously) only putting reactive measures in to stop bombers who failed. By the time we think that we've prevented terrorists from using bombs strapped to their junk to blow up planes, they'll have found a even more disturbing way to get it in. Those ridiculous nude-image generating body scanners won't stop something inside the body.
And anyone who thinks it is a good idea to put a vial of sulfuric acid and explosive powder on their junk is someone willing to go the extra mile and just stuff it under their skin. I guess he's hoping that allah will give him new "tools" to use for his 72 virgins, had he actually succeeded?
