Yesterday Lying Janet says “The system worked”.
Today she says the guy bought a ticket with $3000 cash, and had no passport, and boarded without any luggage beyond a carry on.
Flip-Flop all you want, Janet. You are a complete joke.
You are another administration official who doesn’t have a clue, and should not be in ANY position of authority.....not even dog catcher in a small county.
“So we’ve decided that you cant get out of your seat or have anything on your lap for the final hour of the flight.
Brilliant”
I agree with your setiments. It is such a stangely robotic reaction which once again does not address the threat.
It’s like elementary school: “Since somebody caught on fire in the last hour of the school day, no one can go to the bathroom in the last hour of the day, class.” But by all means, take your time in the bathroom in the middle of the flight...
Profiling the human is wrong so everyone is subjected to random searches. Yet, the speciicity gets placed on a portion of the flight based on the event that, likely, was an anomaly.
I don’t know. Maybe we will have to remove our shoes AND UNDERWEAR now, too.
Yes, she said it at least three times:
“The procedures have been in place for many years” = “It’s Bush’s fault.”
But that begs the question -—If the rules were in place for many years why are the Muslims only now feeling bold enough to test the system now?
And why is a person banned from entry in GB given a two year visa to enter the U.S.?
The list, ping
You are so right!
***“We trained for this. We planned for this.”***
They planned for the passengers to take action?
It’s like the Ron White comedian gig:
“How far is this plane going?”
“All the way to the scene of the crash. We’ll beat the rescue squad by a half an hour”
Or something like that.
Apologies to Ron White.
“She said officials are doing a complete review to determine what needs to change to prevent such a passenger from clearing security in the future”
What needs to change? I flew home yesterday (Sunday) and here are the “changes” I noticed the TSA at O’Hare has started so far:
1) Everyone is asked to pack their coat inside their carryon if possible
2) shoes now go directly on the conveyer belt, instead of in a plastic bin
3) book bags and purses now go directly on the belt
4) finally, I seem to be very lucky at winning the “bag check” bingo, it happens even tho I now mail all my toiletries and jewely ahead. BTW, I am not opposed to the extra checking or the pat downs....but is it possible they are profiling older white women, because it happens to me so often?
She needs to go.
They all need to.
If you’re waiting for a presidential candidate who writes their own speeches your going to have a very, very long wait.
WTH before we are done they are going to hook everyone up to a catheter upon boarding.
Ms. Napolitano said on the “Today” program on NBC that her remark on Sunday that the system worked had been taken out of context. “Our system did not work in this instance,” she said on the program. “No one is happy or satisfied with that. An extensive review is under way.”
She said that the system “worked” because agencies were notified within 60-90 minutes. Clock that at 90 minutes if you don’t know when then last group was contacted. 60 minutes is to make the numbers seem better.
Have there been any updates on the reported eyewitness who said the terrorist didn’t even have a passport, and was “helped” through the boarding process posing as a Somali refugee?
Note, the NY Times could not bring themselves to mention the interview was from Fox News.
Read this carefully...........
“I think the important thing to recognize here is that once this incident occurred, everything happened that should have,” she said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “We trained for this. We planned for this.”
“...once this incident occurred...”
In other words, we don’t know what the hell to do to PREVENT anything...only how and what to cover up AFTER it occurs......
“So we need to be thinking like a Marxist to out fox the Obama Marxists.
You mean like wondering if the “Rahm strategy” of never letting a crisis go to waste is going to be implemented when a terrorist attack happens around election time
and is used to suspend the Constitution and implement marshall law??
I'm a 61 year-old man with a history of prostate trouble. Think I'll be flying much? Do I get an exemption for being a veteran of the U.S.A.F. (1970-74?) No, we're all the same. Can't have any profiling.
So Janet Napolitano, you socialist POS, which one is it??? The system worked before it didn't work???
Liberals & socialist demoRATs are the dumbest people on the planet, exceeded only by the dumb stupid asses who vote for these traitors like 0bozo & his entire administration, plus Senate & House demoRATs.
She isn’t qualified to be secretary of the motor pool.
What a buffoon.
