Trusted Travelers?
Not long after 9-11 I listened to Bernie Keirik speak at a meeting I was attending. He spoke of a "9-12 mentality" and warned against it- warned against forgetting the lessons of the past. His words leaped to the front of my mind as I read this:
DHS questioned over decision to let Saudi passengers skip normal passport controls
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.
"I think you have radical Wahhabism in certain elements in Saudi Arabia, and I think to be more lenient there than in other places would be a mistake," Rep. Frank Wolf told the Investigative Project on Terrorism. "There were 15 [hijackers] from that country, and there is a lot taking place in that region."
Mighty curious
Only an exclusive handful of countries enjoy inclusion in the Global Entry program -- Canada, Mexico, South Korea and the Netherlands. According to the IPT, some officials are questioning why Saudi Arabia gets to reap the benefits of the program, when key U.S. allies like Germany and France are not enrolled; Israel has reached a deal with the U.S., but that partnership has not yet been implemented.
Saudi travelers. Hmm
Any Saudi travelers cleared through the program will be able to bypass the normal customs line after providing passports and fingerprints. The status lasts for five years.The decision is a turnaround, the IPT notes, from when Saudi Arabia was briefly placed on a list of countries whose U.S.-bound travelers would face higher scrutiny, in the wake of the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt in 2009.
It seems that that has been swept under the rug, as have other experiences:

The enemy is in the gates, folks. Janet Napolitano is just as guilty as Hussein in the downfall of this country. She is complicit in high crimes and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Yeah, I think I will keep my feet on the ground where God intended them to be.
I would say that our government is stuck on stupid, but this goes beyond that.
This smells like a scheme to me.
Saudi Arabia is not our friend at all.
If they are going to give “trusted” status to Saudi’s they may as well just get rid of the scanners and search’s and go back to before 911.

Willie Horton, Willie Horton, Willie Horton.
Republicans picked up the Horton issue after Dukakis clinched the nomination. In June 1988, Republican candidate George H.W. Bush seized on the Horton case, bringing it up repeatedly in campaign speeches. Bush’s campaign manager, Lee Atwater, said “By the time we’re finished, they’re going to wonder whether Willie Horton is Dukakis’ running mate.”[8]

DHS orders 1.6 billion rounds of hollow point ammo + DHS orders ~2700 Armored Assault/Support vehicles + DHS dcides to allow Saudi airline passengers to skip normal passport requirements = DHS needs another major terrorist attack to get all the pieces to fall into place.
Couple this with a possible false-flag op in Newtown, CT and the current movement on disarming the populace and it all looks rather ominous.
With the current Regime at the helm, sometimes with Government 2 + 2 does not equal 5.
This is in your face islamism right from the hussein White House.
Saudis should be confined. To a very small square in the middle of Arabia.
Hmmmmm ..?? My thought exactly!
I have been wondering about the “schemes” of this admin for quite some time.
With all the lax security measures, there is no doubt in my mind that our enemies are taking notes. When they figure out there is nobody to stop them; easy access to airlines; small knives .. just what do people think the Saudi’s will do with that information ..??
On 3/5/13, in an episode of NCIS-Los Angeles, they showed a man walk up behing another man (who was sitting at a public bench), and with a very small knife (which was visibly shown on camera), the man (with the knife) stopped just behind the man (seated on the bench) and proceeded to stab and twist the knife at the base of the man’s skull; the man was instantly dead. It was stunning because we had just learned that the TSA was going to allow small knives on planes. My first question is: with such a small knife, is such a killing possible ..??
Well .. that caused me to start a thought process .. what if that happened on an airplane .. using the death of a possibly well-known person .. to force the pilot to open the cockpit door (which they’re not supposed to do), how many people would die before the plane could be on the ground - and police units could enter the aircraft; and how many people would you need (all with knives) ..??
Next thought was .. even if the pilots refused to open the cockput doors, aside from a bomb, what could the killers do to take the plane out (with a tiny knife) .. and, is that even possible without a bomb ..??
This is so scary .. what is the TSA thinking ..??
And .. the final scary thought .. is this on purpose ..??
I believe Dr. Carter outlined all the things you would need to do to destroy a country .. “and .. they’re already happening”. I’ve been saying it for a long time. Destroying America is the only real goal Obama has.
The logical conclusion is that if such an act as 9/11 happens again .. we will have immediate martial law .. suspension of elections .. consfication of all guns (from their illegal gun registration lists); and we will be ushered into camps (for our safety).
Is anybody getting this yet ..?? The Obama admin does not like us (Americans) and I truly believe he is willing to do whatever (even illegally) to accomplish his purpose.
You can trust Saudis. To go boom.
Two of those guys lived 3 miles away from me .. in an Arabic community with its own mosque.
I just can’t help but wonder if more of them have moved in and are just waiting for the opportunity to do more damage.
And if one of the bearded savages uses a pocket knife to take over a plane, 0 and big sis will get a free pass from the media.
So they trust Saudis while they are buying armored tanks to handle us natural born citizens.
But at least we wil have our pocket knives to fight back with...
