I'm sure this has nothing to do w/ religion.

I think they're making dry runs. Seriously. They're testing our security. We'll be hit in the near future by these pieces of ****.

I agree... just a matter of a few weeks... and guess what, by releasing this report, we will just make it easier for them to do it.

WASHINGTON — White House national security adviser James Jones says Americans will feel "a certain shock" when they read an account being released Thursday of the missed clues that could have prevented the alleged Christmas Day bomber from ever boarding the plane.
President Obama "is legitimately and correctly alarmed that things that were available, bits of information that were available, patterns of behavior that were available, were not acted on," Jones said in an interview Wednesday with USA TODAY.

"That's two strikes," Obama's top White House aide on defense and foreign policy issues said, referring to the foiled bombing of the Detroit-bound airliner and the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in November. In that case, too, officials failed to act when red flags were raised about an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hasan. He has been charged with killing 13 people.

Jones said Obama "certainly doesn't want that third strike, and neither does anybody else."

The White House plans to release an unclassified report Thursday on what went wrong in the incident involving a 23-year-old Nigerian man who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight

Yes you can sue, and you'll probably win a settlement as well, guilty of harrassment or not.....

Depends on who is harassing you. The TSA can strip search you and you cant do anything to stop them. By entering the checkpoint, you give them the consent to search.

The airline can deny you boarding for any reason whatsoever. All they have to is give you a refund.

You dont want to get searched, take Greyhound.

Everything's a joke to that clown.

It is time for our military personal to take the necessary actions to insure their personal safety, above all else, even if it means disobeying orders. I say this with regret, but when the leadership cannot be trusted, there is but one course of action. Adapt.

I heard the terrorist bomber paid cash for a one way ticket and had no luggage. If true, heads should roll.

Yep, and guess what, ICE picked his name up off the "watch list" an hour after the flight took off. There were going to detain him once the plane landed in Detroit.

"The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Thursday that officials flagged Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as someone who should go through additional security screening in the United States. The department said his potential ties to terrorists came up in a routine check of passengers en route to the United States.

The Los Angeles Times, which first reported the development, wrote that security officials "learned" of the link while he was in the air."

Despite all their savvy planning, I'm surprised the jihadists are still doing the "one way ticket / no luggage" thing. You'd think they'd spend the extra oil-financed money, buy a round-trip ticket and check in a suitcase of old clothes to throw off the scent a bit.

But I guess if our genius national security can't even catch that...

Nice, they could have been picking up his pieces along with 250 some odd other people's bodies and 84,000 lbs. of 737 in Detroit. Additionally any people on the ground killed as collateral damage.

I thought round trip tickets were usually cheaper. Maybe we're lucky they aren't such savy shoppers.
