[...] a perfect demonstration of this weak sensibility. Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano’s “the system worked” claim was Dali-esque. It is impossible to tell what she really thought as her statement was so [...]

You’re half right Huck. Fired and placed in a small room with no clothes, olive oil and Rosie for 24 hours.

Not only should Janet Nepolitano be fired , she should be sent on a love cruise with Charlie Sheen.

all aircraft materials in the cabin are fire retardant, i.e., they will only burn as long as they are subjected to a flame from another source, they won’t continue to burn once that source is removed.
That being said, the real danger here would have been if he would have gotten the explosion he wanted. Only a comedy of errors prevented that from happening.

A passenger claimed that he was sent to a manager type person and then magically passed through without his passport. So he thought a bribe was to blame…

I need help please give me a link to see the video as I cannot see it for some reason.

Now I do thank you for the quote. It is ridiculous the system worked?

What pile of crap does the liberal machine find these douches under? You would think with all of government from the states to the feds they could find one competent person by accident. I have yet to see anyone with a shred of real intelligence in the entire machine. Talk about rank amateurs, with emphasis on the rank….

“Once the incident happened, the system worked”??? Are you kidding me??? I have travelled from Amsterdam to Detroit twice, and they patted me down COMPLETELY. We were all subjected to the humiliation of having every single body part fondled by security. Also, you cannot walk through any part of the Amsterdam airport without passing several security with large guns and gunpowder sniffing dogs. Add to that, we had to show our passports at every point and every passenger had to standin a long line to be personally interviewed as to why we were flying to the US and show our passports AGAIN before we were allowed to board. How the he** did this man get through? It makes me wonder if he was ushered through by a “higher power”.

Well yes the system worked, you just have to understand that Page 1 of the “System” is BLAME BUSH!!!, this was accomplished by both Gibbs and Janet in record time. It is in fact such a part of the system that these two start blaming Bush without quite knowing exactly what they are blaming him for.

More evidence that the left has no idea what is going on in the world. I’m a little torn as to how to react. My Michigan is in the pits. Maybe if this “martyr” had been successful they would have poured money into Detroit like they did with New Orleans.
