Yes we were lucky. We weren’t good, we weren’t smart.
We were lucky that the bomb maker of the user were incompetent.
We were lucky because we have chosen to leave our best anti-terrorist tools in the tool box because we are afraid to use that tool.
We are too afraid to offend the sensibilities of certain minorities. Yes I mean Muslims and blacks.
Political correctness has made us leave the tool of profiling in the tool box. Passenger screeners could devote more of their valuable time on individuals more likely to be a terrorist and there by make air travel safer.
We know what kind of person is the most likely to be a terrorist. That person would be a male Muslim between the ages of 17 and 45.
Why are we leaving this most valuable tool in the tool box collecting dust?
He had a one way ticket! A Nigerian with a one way ticket whose name happens to be Abdul. Like he’s not going to just stay. Is there any border security at all in the States? We just trust any Muslim wandering in. What a mess!
Lucky??? You mean the White House hasn't yet claimed that Obama personally gave the passengers the order to tackle the potential human-caused disaster guy and foiled the plot?
Well, I'm sure the truth will out someday and The One will rightfully be made a hero. Gotta keep the sheen on that Peace Prize, doncha know?
