Terrorist attack foiled aboard U.S. jetliner

Well I can not help but to think this terrorist dude's failed attempt just may be a major distraction to keep us busy while other terrorist may be plotting other attacks. While everyone is so focused on him.


Just a thought that crossed my mind. Hope they are all looking at every possible way besides just Airplane attacks.
 
Ok, let's say the system failed... but which system was implemented by whom?
 
We still playing the blame game? It ain't like Obama said "Hey, let's relax all those stupid security measures."

Has anyone blamed Bush for 9-11 attacks? Certainly not me. It happened on his watch. Not his fault. If someone wants to connect the dots and point at Clinton as being lax, letting 9-11 planning occur, why should people now overlook Bush and blame Obama? Looks like deflector shields are only in place for Conservatives.

If a nut falls from a tree, do you blame the tree, or the nut? Or do you blame gravity? Or wind?

:hmm:
 
Lets face something about our country

Our great country and I mean this for real not sarcasm has kind of a glitch in itself. We are in most respects operating still in crisis management mode. It fits well with a system like ours where we keep things turning over. Elected officials come and go, appointees roll over with them, we move all over the place now, training programs are changed by new administrations it is all in flux. Myself I do not mind change and restructuring and all that goes with it. It does though have a problem: a consistent timeline of improvement and building on knowledge from past mistakes is virtually impossible. With the way that we do things now there will, more often then not, be a whole lot of reinventing the wheel. Small glitches can become walkthroughs. Systems need to be tested and improved on and tested some more. Oversight of this activity needs consistency. People make money on holes in the system. Not enough employees? Perfect! An investor controlled economy like ours right now mandates this. Read what gets positive attention from investor groups. Layoffs. Yay! Fire a few thousand employees. Right on! Now there is a company that knows its oats. Slash that fat! Move to India, China, Vietnam,
great! Adequate oversight, who needs that, we believe in small government and putting as much profit as possible into the pockets of a few. Then something like this happens and it is finger pointing out all the way. Who us?
No way! It is that guy over there the new guy on the block. He is the problem.
 
Here's a video of what 50grams of PETN can do. The bomber had 80 grams on him (actually in his crotch area and hoping he'll never have children now...permanently).

As far as I can tell this discusson revolves around the State Department. It clearly falls in their area of expertise or so it seems.

If you're going to put video in here, please describe it. This will help those who may not have access to a video. Let's not be discriminatory here.
 
that 50g PETN video doesn't really mean much to me because if you remember from war stories, several heroes have had purposely jumped on grenade and used their bodies to protect their comrades from grenade blast. Their comrades survived. This video is disregarding several variables that will contain the blast.

If you also recall other stories about planes with structural failures - the planes have been able to fly to safety with ripped roof.

let's focus, shall we? it's a cute cheap ploy to deflect the attention on your lies and agenda.

So no comment on Dutch ticket agent letting a man with no passport aboard the flight?
