It appears (so far) that there is nothing wrong with the security system, but rather that SOMEONE(S) did not execute the system properly — SOMEONE didn’t change the status of this clown from “watch” to “No fly” after specific information from the father.
There was a second problem at the State Department — this guy retained his multiple-entry American visa AFTER Britain denied him any visa at all! (CLUE!)
This is further confirmation of my Theory of Gates, which states that systems are in place to stop all disasters with multiple gates. It is “five nines” likely that at least one of the gates will remain closed and stop the possibly hundreds of potential daily disasters of one sort or another — but given enough potential disasters all gates will eventually be left open at once (by SOMEONE) and a disaster happens.
No matter how good the system it is populated by bureaucrats with lifetime tenure and no advancement on merit, but on seniority.
With all due respect, the Christmas Bomber did not fail – he succeeded in spreading terror. He failed at killing people, but as a terrorist he DID spread terror.
He will cost our nation BILLIONS in extra security, he will cause millions to react by driving or taking the train rather than flying, and he will cause thousands of bureaucrats to try to divine security holes – or in finger pointing to someone else.
He will not cause one bureaucrat to lose his or her job, however, THAT terrorizes ME!
