From MSNBC.WASHINGTON - Imagine an explosion strong enough to blow a car's trunk apart, caused by a bomb inside a passenger plane. Government sources tell NBC News that federal investigators recently were able to carry materials needed to make a similar homemade bomb through security screening at 21 airports.
In all 21 airports tested, no machine, no swab, no screener anywhere stopped the bomb materials from getting through. Even when investigators deliberately triggered extra screening of bags, no one discovered the materials.

vergiss said:What, presumably white Federal Investigators? :doh
jamesrage said:I would think a younger white investigator carrying a suspicious package would be a more likely suspect than a old senior citizen.
tryreading said:Its naive to think the terrorists don't already know our weak points. It is part of their expertise to learn these things. The only people who don't know about these problems are us, until someone decides to tell us. Our government knows, the terrorists know, but until we know, very little or nothing will be done about the problem. We have to know these things, they must be publicized, or we discover, again, too late, that the Homeland Security department does not know what its doing, and we'll discover that when we need it most.

Don't you understand that intelligence doesn't exist beyond the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico or 49th parallel? :shocked2:

Texas.
No, but I have relatives in and around the Biloxi area. One cousin lived on the Back Bay of Biloxi. Nothing left but the slab. The others, range from severe house damage to fallen trees and missing shingles, but no one was hurt.
Some parts look just like the day after and others are coming along OK. It'll take a long time to fully recover, but it will happen. I lived there when Camille hit so I know they will rebound.
Thanks for asking. :thanks:

But why would they not inspect him, over the elderly citizen?
jamesrage said:pc nonesense proably.They were proably afraid the white guys could have been christians,jews or some other group that might have been "offended" Instead of saying hey lets search the suspicious men over there, They search the old lady so that it appears they are not discriminating against anyone.Perhaps tey are worried that the ACLU will file a lawsuits if sercurity uses Behavioral Profiling.
Oh wait they already have filed a lawsuit to challenge behavioral Profiling.
