Should be a mandatory 1 month in jail at hard labor making licence plates for any illegal alien caught, then deportation.
It would stem the flow of illegals big time if there were a price to be paid, instead of a free trip home.
No way their visas were not checked, the question is why they were released. Everywhere I go they leaf to the last visa and read the date. It is not like you have to call it in or anything. What is the point of looking at a passport if you are not reading the visa stamp, it is like looking at a book just for the pictures without reading the contents!
Someone was making a test of methods to hijack and was suprised to be caught. This story was exposed without government help, just like the voting fraud in FLA.
It got us the right president, and this might expose other ugly truths that people should know about our airport security.
Someone up high does not take airport security seriously where the public does not see for some reason. Why I leave up to the tin-foilers.
Like the millions of illegal aliens pouring in, the gov has gotten to the point where they just pick and choose what laws to want to enforce. For example, if your late on your taxes by one day. You think they'd miss that date?
That would be my interpretation. Do a dry run when everything is set up to maintain 'plausible deniability', and hold off on the real attack until you know it's actually going to work.
An X-ray can identify a lot of things, but disguising certain objects so they'll look like something else is not especially difficult. Because many explosives are non-metalic (except for the detonators), a person could easily walk through a magnetometer with the non-metalic portions of a bomb. As for the detonators, those could be disguised in just about anything.
Recently I walked through an X-ray machine with some objects which weren't explosive, but which--if made from explosive material--would have been indistinguishable by visual or x-ray examination from the objects I had. I'll refrain from identifying the objects in question to avoid giving anyone any ideas, except to note that they are of a general type that used to be made from explosive material.
