The last time I made the mistake of buying a one way airline ticket with cash the wonderful people at the TSA took every bit of my luggage apart and dumped it all over tables. Wiped everything down for explosives and interrogated me for an hour. Missed my plane and had to make other arrangements. BUT this terrorist buys a one way ticket with cash for a Christmas flight AND does not check any luggage on an intercontinental flight AND still nobody raises an eyebrow.

Obama and Napolitano attempting to cover their own asses and letting the intelligence community out to dry by making them the fall guys, is going to end up invoking the law of unintended consequences. These people are really digging their political holes. What idiots.

There was a wtness that he did not have a passport

So then the question becomes where IS the passport because the visa was stamped in it. I say it’s in the lavatory of the plane that carried him from Lagos to Amsterdam.
