The Defense Department is investigating a frightening incident in which the feds let a suspected terrorist slip through their fingers after he was caught snapping photos of security operations at four downtown federal buildings, The Post has learned.

"This is a very intriguing and very important story right now," said a source in the Defense Intelligence Agency - an intelligence gathering and analysis branch of the Department of Defense.

Was this part of the team of terrorists?

Will these lackluster security attitudes change immediately or resume in a month or two?

The stupidity of this blows my mind. The bombing could possibly been averted.

What the good are these people if they can't even do their jobs properly.

Maybe not. They might have been planning a different attack. No federal buildings in NYC were attacked.

Whoever they were they were doing recon for attacks on Americans. Find them, kill them.

Get ready for harassment of ordinary citizens at airports to skyrocket. The feds will probably get the "Body Search" Contraband Detection System now, the device that "undresses" passengers going through security checkpoints. The dream of every horny customs official will finally be realized.

[B4Ranch]

Probably, you are correct. The answer is to put fags checking the women and normal men checking men. Take the sex cheering out of the job.

A Bin-Laden associate was supposed to be sentenced at that couthouse today!

[B4Ranch]

I heard that mentioned yesterday. I wonder if this was bin Ladens reponse to us for criminalizing his attacks instead of calling them what they are, ATTACKS OF WAR!. The FBI is talking today about "these criminal acts". They need to get their heads out of their butts and open their eyes. This is WAR.

[CWRWinger]

IMO, this act of war may not have happened if honest, law abiding citizens with concealed weapon permits were allowed to carry on board. The leftwing laws which restrict our liberties have created "gun free" zones on commercial airplanes. Terrorists know they can't be effectively resisted. They know they can safely execute their hideous plans.

All they have to have is physical and mental conditioning and the will to do it. The Second Ammendment is the equalizer.

Well said!
