TSA and DHS Statements on Northwest Airlines Flight 253
News & Happenings

DHS Secretary Napolitano Statement on Northwest Flight 253
December 26, 2009
1:00 p.m. EST

“I am grateful to the passengers and crew aboard Northwest Flight 253 who reacted quickly and heroically to an incident that could have had tragic results. The Department of Homeland Security immediately put additional screening measures into place- for all domestic and international flights- to ensure the continued safety of the traveling public. We are also working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement on additional security measures, as well as our international partners on enhanced security at airports and on flights.

The American people should continue their planned holiday travel and, as always, be observant and aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious behavior or activity to law enforcement officials.

Passengers flying from international locations to U.S. destinations may notice additional security measures in place. These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere. Due to the busy holiday travel season, both domestic and international travelers should allot extra time for check-in.”

"As the Obama administration scrambles to review security and repair the damage from its “system worked” comments after the attempted Christmas Day airliner bombing, the government is targeting bloggers"

LOL! As usual, we get a real glimpse of who they are, & they want to make it about other people.

“TSA subpoenas bloggers, demands names of sources”
(AP)

By EILEEN SULLIVAN, Associated Press Writer – 10 mins ago

SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON – As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.”

Dear jihadis,

Please just bomb us and get it over with. Sharia sounds fine now.

Watching the scum, cowards, traitors, incompetents, and douchebags that constitute our federal government is just too painful. Let’s end it now.

P.S. Where can I get a good prayer mat and halal chow?

Sincerely,

Baked and done.
