“Fewer than 5 percent of the TIDE entries were U.S. citizens or legal residents, according to a description of the database on the NCTC website.”
5% is about 25,000. Boston metropolitan area is less than about 1-1/2% of the US population, which would equate to less than 400 on the list known as being in the Boston area. The big question is why they didn’t look at the people on the list in the area as a starting point - or did the politically correct rules in place prevent them from looking for people thought by someone to be tied to terrorist - if they were in Zero’s protected group(s). How they couldn’t have matched his pictures from their files to the pictures of suspects raises questions that need to be asked - and answered no matter how embarrassing to Zero and his administration.
Maybe they did in fact use the data bases once they had gone thru the various data bases.
Course if they had been told to look for Whitee Tea Party members ....they would have gone to different lists.
I am sure someone is buildint that one.
