So how many of you folks blasting Napolitano and Co. right now...

[MaggieMae]

Interesting that it takes Obama more than two days to even acknowledge that a terrorist attack occured within our borders and that's justified, yet when Bush was in front of a bunch of children and delayed reaction for a few minutes, that's unjustified.

Actually it was reported that the President considered this a terrorist attack directly after the attempt occurred. I don't know where you get your news, but on CNN it was on the ticker immediately.

The critics here never tune to CNN, are you kidding? Not only that, but Obama learned early on that to "immediately" appear in public on any event draws even more criticism, should he happen to use the wrong phraseology. That's what the fringe will glom onto, and not the actual meat of the matter.

"Once Abdulmutallab's dad went to the embassy November 19th and made a complaint, a report was generated and sent to NCTC.


"Once NCTC receives such a report, an intelligence analyst checks to see if the person has any other associations in the database. If it’s the first time the person’s name is coming up, NCTC creates a record under the person’s name, as was done with Abdulmutallab, and that name is added to the TIDE [Terrorism Identities Datamart Environment] list. Agencies across the federal government have access to TIDE."

What happened after NCTC got report on Abdulmutallab - Laura Rozen - POLITICO.com

While it's true the turf war's in several Depts. still goes on, that does not excuse the Director, nor does it excuse the DOJ, or the CIA. It's my opinion that in order to be right then those individuals need to be held to the highest of standards regardless of who they are.

The multitude of hints and red flags make the "question" not only urgent, but unavoidable:

Are ANY of the folks in the Department of Homeland Security actually considering DOING their job?

"The system worked", Liability. Take the gavage from that administration and accept it like a good little drone.

The system worked like a CHARM! The guy smuggled explosives on the plane in his bikini underpants. He was ON a fucking WATCH list. His DAD had called to WARN us. He was a young Muslim male coming from YEMEN. He bought his ticket with CASH. HE boarded an international flight destined for the Great Satan without a passport. But, at least he had no luggage!

Yes. I see it now. Considering that there was not a fucking CLUE in the universe, I have to admit that I was plainly wrong!

Despite the barrage of complaints, neither Ms. Collins nor Mr. Lieberman, the Senate committee's leaders, called for Mr. Chertoff to resign. Instead, they said that decision was up to President Bush.

The White House, which has also been criticized as having exercised flawed leadership in the Hurricane Katrina crisis, has made it clear that such a move is not being considered.

The point is if you are in charge of Homeland Security , regardless of who you are or what party you belong too the actions of those around you are YOUR responsiblity as is the safety and security of this nation. If you FAIL in that responsibility then you should recognize that and resign that post. The one thing I do respect the current director for is at least admitting that her department screwed the pooch and needs work. It is still my opinion that this Director based on her previous record as Gov. of this state should never have been confirmed or considered for the post in the first place.

It appears that you believe that any time someone in any organization makes a mistake the leader of that organization must resign.

You sir are an idiot. You are also dishonest because obviously you are not concerned with bettering an organization but destroying it. Why not be a man and not a chimp by just coming out and saying what is on your mind. You want Obama to fail and are willing to do anything and say anything to advance that goal.

You hate america. That makes you a traitor to some oath you took sometime in your past.

WE are in fact in charge of the boarding of passengers onto OUR airliners.

As we fucking well should be.

If some "sniffer" failed to work or if it didn't even exist at the boarding location, that's bad enough, but understandable in isolation.

What is NOT all that understandable is how or why a fucker ON one of our watch lists, coming from a God-foresaken cesspool like Yemen, without a passport and with no fucking luggage for a long overseas flight TO the United States who has been identified by his own FATHER to OUR people is allowed to get onto a U.S. passenger jet bound for the U.S. in the first fucking place.

There is NO room for error when you are responsible for the lives of others, it's okay to make mistakes if you work Starbucks but when you have the lives of an entire nation to be responsible for then you should accept responsibility for your mistakes and remove yourself for someone more qualified.

The Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System (often abbreviated CAPPS) is a counter-terrorism system in place in the United States air travel industry. The United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) maintains a watchlist, pursuant to 49 USC § 114 (h)(2)[1], of "individuals known to pose, or suspected of posing, a risk of air piracy or terrorism or a threat to airline or passenger safety." The list is used to pre-emptively identify terrorists attempting to buy plane tickets or board planes traveling in the United States, and to mitigate perceived threats.

Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At issue is Delta's test run this month of CAPPS II, the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System. CAPPS II would require background checks on all airline passengers when they book a ticket, including checking credit reports, banking and criminal records.

Passengers would then be assigned a threat level -- red, yellow or green -- which would help authorities determine if they should be subjected to increased security checks at the airport or refused boarding.

Advocates of CAPPS II insist the system will identify terrorists while allowing law-abiding citizens to avoid the airport security shakedown. But privacy advocates like Scannell believe CAPPS II is highly intrusive and ineffective in identifying terrorists.

Delta will be trying out CAPPS II at three as-yet undisclosed airports during the month of March. It's a first step prior to potentially deploying CAPPS II screening throughout the country over the next year.

Scannell hopes that people will join in his boycott to send a message to the airline industry and the government that CAPPS II is not acceptable.

"Delta was first in line to sign up for fascism," Scannell said. "CAPPS II treats all Americans who want to board a plane as if they were thugs. It's a horribly misguided attempt to make flying safer. It's ridiculous and horrible, and it has to stop."

The point is if you are in charge of Homeland Security , regardless of who you are or what party you belong too the actions of those around you are YOUR responsiblity as is the safety and security of this nation.

Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Deception of Homeland Security (DHS), was kept out of the loop:

Christmas Kamikaze

What the US official didn’t say was that the Feds often and purposely exclude terrorists from such lists. Joe Trento is an investigative journalist and the author of Unsafe at Any Altitude: Failed Terrorism Investigations, Scapegoating 9/11, and the Shocking Truth about Aviation Security Today. He reports, "At the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency certain names and aliases are kept from the airlines and off the no-fly list to protect intelligence assets who are suspected or known terrorists." Why? Because, as Mr. Trento explains in his book, "...American intelligence and counterterrorism officials ... deliberately [allow] suspected terrorist to fly among innocent passengers in the hope that a terrorist would lead them to collaborators or even a terrorist cell." The government that nicks your Neutrogena lest you blow up your flight merely winks at Terry Q. Terrorist’s boarding.
