"It's encouraging that the system did work, because something is not right there," Youngblood said. "The system worked the way it was supposed to, but it just takes time when you close an airport—and it costs a lot of money."

But the "system" did NOT work. Some poor gardener with traces of fertilizer on his clothing or bags, who is taking honey to give to relatives being falsely accused of terrorism says the system failed again. Maybe Youngblood gets his cues from Janet.

Military personnel or police officers who spend time at a shooting range may be sources of false positives. Current administration officials thus have another opportunity to humiliate our military and law enforcement personnel.

Our "system" punishes the innocent because everybody and anybody might be a terrorist, even a 88 year old retired schoolteacher. But our "system" is more likely to let the suspicious person go because we do not want to be accused of profiling!
