He also wouldn’t have made it on the plane if they required passports, or if the government took watch lists seriously, or even if we simply barred Muslims from getting on planes until they can demonstrate they don’t want to kill us. But, instead, the government will support more hassles for the rest of us, and not talk about the elephant in the room.
Has this been confirmed yet? I know that fellow passengers Kurt and Lori Haskell have said they thought the bomber didn't have a passport. Plus, in the several stories I've read about the Haskells, none of them mention whether they've officially reported this to law enforcement. It seems pretty obvious that the couple would, but for some reason the coverage I've seen/read doesn't specify this. Do you know?
