I made a link. But, whom are you going to believe--the Obama Administration or your lyin' ears?

But Bush was in with Dubai — Bush’s fault AND Dubai’s fault. 0 is Mr. Clean. Eric Holder mirandizes. Incompetano thinks the system’s working great. She’s busy holding a barbeque fundraiser at the oil slick.

TSA patted me down so much that I almost started to enjoy it.

And now--they don't call, they don't write...

Faisal Shahzad was naturalized April 17th 2009, one of the early beneficiary of Obama’s liberal immigration policy that threw open the borders to treat all countries of origin alike. Two months later he was back in Pakistan, presumably meeting and plotting with terrorist allies there.

“It takes a few hours for the airlines system to catch up,” a senior administration official tells ABC news.

Why do I have a hard time believing that statement with this bunch?

[OldDeckHand]

If we have an administration that is expecting an Arab airline to perform adequate security checks, we are screwed.

The airlines USED TO BE in charge of security. They paid into a private fund that was administered by local airports and those airports contracted with private security. But, that all changed after 9/11 and the creation of the TSA.

If Barack Obama thinks Emirates Air has management responsibility for the TSA, he is WAY DUMBER than I originally feared.

“really?”

Really.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

As a wise man I knew said — the fish stinks from the head down.

If you can’t tell the truth, dazzle them with BULLS*IT*

That is one of the skills most politicians have, but Obama is truly a 'leader' in that category.

Greta noted, “ just read that Faisal Shahzad was put on the “no fly” list after authorities identified him, but the addition of Shahzad to the list was TOO RECENT FOR SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER AN ALERT when he got a ticket and boarded the plane.

So why were we able to pick him up? Emirates notified Homeland Security that a guy bought a ticket with cash. If it had not been for Emirates airline, he would have slipped out of the USA!”

Dammit, Faisalo, in Pakistan, we told you not to use cash to buy a plane ticket. Now, you have to blame Bush for causing you to lose your home.

I’m not getting this at all. I’ve flown to Europe at least 12 times since 9/11. I get screened , I get looked at , shoes off , ID , Passport. In Amsterdam 2 soldiers with machine guns stopped me because I had a lighter in my pocket and once they took my baggage off the plane just..well just because..I have been interrogated at the gate in Amsterdam and one other time made to open up an electronic device I had for my guitar in my baggage. I was FINE with all of this by the way ..BUT..NOW the question is how the f*uck do these characters get tickets for cash , walk in with no baggage , no ID ? 1 way tickets ...
What the hell ?
