What say you fliers?

Have to ask Janet "The System Worked" Napolitano.

"DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the thwarting of the
attempt
to blow up the Amsterdam-Detroit flight this week demonstrated that
“the system worked.”

What a clueless wench. More like the idiot got nervious when mixing
the
chemicals and messed up on his lap. Hope he burned his balls. But
luck
had more to do with it. It wasn't time to die for the people on
board.

But the plane landed safely, so the system had to work, eh?

One has to ask how the system made a difference.

He got on the plane right past authorities with an explosive compound.
It
was his mistakes, not the governments actions that saved the day.
Because
even if you were willing to die, I doubt seriously you would want to fry
your balls first.

Ok, that was funny. In any case she was talking about after the incident
started. Perhaps we should see what the investigations show? Nah... just
blame Obama.

Actiually, I blame peoples stupidity. But Obama be the one responsible
these days. I didn't agree with Bush's go at it either. Too many purely
politicial barriers in doing this right.

I do as well. The person responsible for not putting this person on a higher
level list should be fired and the protocols should be changed. Obama is,
ultimately, responsible. I think he gets that.


For example, why did it take so long to put locks on the cabin doors to
the pilots? Because big budgets and fast talk were more important than
reality.

Good question!

Talk a look at who they do catch, and always there is a person behind it
that takes there job seriously, including profiling and whatever they can
use.

I don't agree with racial profiling, but I do agree with intelligent
profiling. Seems to me that if someone's father tells the embassy that his
son is a threat, and then said son gets on a flight to the US, then he
should have at least been pulled from the line, strip searched, questioned
for an extended period, etc. If it was a mistake (perhaps the father
over-reacted), then fine, he could have his clothes back and continue.
