A Department of Homeland Security program intended to give "trusted traveler" status to low-risk airline passengers soon will be extended to Saudi travelers, opening the program to criticism for accommodating the country that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Sources voiced concern about the decision to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, which issued a report Wednesday on the under-the-radar announcement -- which was first made by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano after meeting in January with her Saudi counterpart. According to the IPT, this would be the first time the Saudi government has been given such a direct role in fast-tracking people for entry into the United States.

Just checked your FR page. Impressive Military medals! Thank you for your service to our Country.
. .. and fat drinkers. But the government’s working on it.
Well, next time I'm flying, (if that ever happens - I'd rather ride my Harley), I'll but something in a big glass bottle inside the terminal, so I'll at least have something to defend myself and the rest of the passengers with.
IMHO they’re overplaying their cards and will be subject to reaction, more and more.
Homeland Funnel.
Funneling in illegal muzzies, mexicans, terrorists, dope dealers and fag “partners”.
Even Jeremiah Wright took pains to assure him that joining his church would not offend his muslim "past."
Man, that’s the ugliest collection of mugs I’ve ever seen.
No wonder there are so many arranged marriages.
Thnks...fairly common
And the republicants have approved of another islamist, John Brennan, to head the CIA! ... Even the name is an oxymoron.
will the weirdness ever end??????
When we end it.
Or it ends us.
SAUDIS VETTING THEMSELVES to be TRUSTED TRAVELERS????? Janet Napolitano needs to be IMPEACHED!!!!!!!!
CONGRESS.....HELP!! EVen SOME Democrats have to think this is HORRIBLE!!!
John Brennan is a MUSLIM too???? Are you sure???
TRUSTED TRAVELERS???? Trusted to KILL MORE AMERICANS??? I guess that’s what this administration wants!!!
Proof positive the government should not be allowed to possess firearms.
The only reason boxcutters were effective, it that what happened was a new paradigm. These people thought that they were being hijacked. It it did not occurr to them that they were with suicide bombers and would all be killed within a few minutes if they did not act.
No one with any knife or gun even has that type of ability to do that again. People would act in a heartbeat.
and have already.
The Federal Gov (Democrats)(Republicans) are trying to provoke an armed response from Americans.
Inch by inch they'll continue on this path until somebody does something.
Then we all will pay the price.
Re: post#11, You’re absolutely right.
Brennan, in Arabic, spoke to a crowd of Arabs and in his speech he repeated the statement "in shallah"--if Allah wills.
Non muslims don't make such a statement. Here's the LINK.
Additionally, he asked the Arab audience (in Arabic) not to repeat his comments in English because it might get him in trouble.
Trouble? Why would it get him in trouble if not because it provides evidence of his conversion? Americans don't care if he is fluent in another language...but we do care if his speech provides evidence of his conversion to Islam.
So yes...Brennan is a muslim...and the CIA is in the hands of the enemy.
How can you be surprised when thinking who put this traitor into Harvard and then helped him steeling the White Hut???
Homeland inSecurity is not about Islamic terrorism. It’s about the Left’s hatred of Americans and America.
we here are trying mightily to end it before it ends us ;)
Is anyone with any authority to stop this going to stop it? Or are we Eloi and all going to be eaten?
Placemark.
Ramzi Yousef almost brought down an airliner with liquid explosive concealed in a “half empty contact lens solution”. That's no more than 5 ounces. His placement was luckily off because he actually hid the bomb inside a seat to detonate during the next flight. A suicide bomber placing such a bomb at the exterior of a jet would likely bring it down. Both the underwear bomber and shoe bomber had enough explosives but were luckily too stupid to detonate.
This is why we can't have more than 3 ounces of liquid and have the outline underneath our clothes scanned. However that is a STUPID approach. The question is are they really that dumb or are they truly conditioning people for random searches?
IMO, we need more chemical based detection systems rather than visual searches of everything. Bomb sniffing dogs/machines to check everything entering a plane would keep us more safe than what we have now. The deck should also be completely isolated the entire time. Pilots should have their own toilet and a small door for food. Stopping all the groping and doing these two things would eliminate 99.99% of threats.
Yeah....that figures. And all the while....they are searching, frisking and humiliating disabled veterans and children in wheelchairs.
And we’re letting them get away with it all.
WHERE IS ERIC NORDSTROM and WHY ISN"T HE SCREAMING THIS????
The answer to this is that they aren't dumb. Evil yes, but not dumb.

Agreed. Allowing the flight crew to arm themselves would also actually enhance security, much more than is being done today, and would cost nothing. The problem with that approach is that it doesn't expand government power or authority, so it was never considered. Everything that has been done has been a federal power grab used to condition the sheep-like majority of the population.
Brennan in Middle of Saudi-9/11 Cover-up and the Missing 28 Pages
February 8, 2013 • 9:48AM
Two years ago, Sen. Bob Graham, who has tirelessly been fighting against the suppression of information on the Saudi role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, put John Brennan in the middle of the ongoing cover-up by the Obama White House. On Sept. 12, 2011, Graham was interviewed by host Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC, concerning the Saudi-supported “support network” for the 9/ll hijackers, which extended from San Diego, California, to Sarasota, Florida, with other centers in New Jersey, Virginia, and Arizona. Graham described his efforts to obtain release of the suppressed 28 pages from the Congressional 9/11 report concerning the Saudi role, and Graham said that he had talked to the White House and to Obama’s counter-terrorism advisor, John Brennan, asking him to get the 28 pages released. To this day, Brennan, who has documented close connections to the Saudis, has failed to do so.
The next day, Ratigan published a column, stating: “For ten years, the U.S. government has kept secret the Saudi connection to the 9/11 hijackers.... This isn’t my claim. It’s what former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham asserted yesterday on my show. Yesterday, he discussed his outrage over the government’s secretive behavior, with journalist Anthony Summers, whose book on 9/11 blew the lid off some creepy aspects of the attacks that President Bush, and now President Obama and his terrorism advisor John Brennan, are keeping secret.”
Graham served for ten years on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and chaired it during and after the 9/11 attacks. He also chaired the bi-partisan Joint Congressional Inquiry into the 9/11 attacks.
Thanks for the ping.
Because we were told that it makes us more safe.
And now the next batch of kamikaze hijackers just strolls on board the jumbo jet, no questions asked.
Makes a person wonder who the 1.6 BILLION bullets are really for...
What also sucks, is when you fly into the US, we American citizens have to share the same Immigration & Customs lines with all those wannabees with green cards.
