It has become painfully obvious that the BEST way to screen every passenger who flies is to implement a policy which will ONLY allow people to travel by plane.....stark NAKED.
This should make it much more difficult to conceal anything.
Fly nude...or don't fly.
I know this idea could be very difficult to stomach.....but SAFETY first.
Don't think that will work. Terrorists adapt quicker than we can regulate. Besides, Richard Gere doesn't have a monopoly on shoving things in the rear end.
Not as well as it should. As I stated, the fact that he was only put on a watch list requires more investigation and probably correction. But it's not the "sky is falling" spin scenario you guys would make it. Bottom line is the main fault and breakdown was him being allowed on the plane with explosives and that was not an area of responsibility of the US Gov. or Obama aqdministration as much as you guys would like to spin it so. It was the responsibility of the security at the Amsterdam airport and that system broke down in this case.
London had not allowed him into their country
but us?? we want to just be liked.....
good grief
this group of loopy hacks in charge are skipping down some yellow brick road and draggin us along
don't worry they will suceed in blowing up a plane and you can remind us of how we have over-reacted
GOOD GRIEF!!!!
I don't trust that witch. She called me a likely terrorist last spring when she said that veterans who tend to be conservative need to be watched. I am a veteran, (an old one) and I am very conservative.
Does anybody remember when Ted Kennedy turned up on a no-fly list? If a US Senator can get on that list why couldn't this guy get on that smaller list after his daddy turned him in to the US Ambassador? After what Homeland Security did with Kennedy I wonder if she would say that the system worked.

Remember, once Dorothy and her friends get to the Emerald City, the Great and Powerful Oz is just some whacky guy behind a curtain.
Supposedly, where he purchased his ticket it is a cash only system. They don't use credit cards. Now I did not and will look this up but it seems pausible to me. Just heard it on MSNBC from a poster comment.
I also just heard they are easing some restrictions on USA flights.
Translation of Al Qaeda press release taking responsibility for the terrorist attempt on the Plane in Detroit
Beginning of the Translation:
"The Operation by Brother Moujahed Omar Al Farouq Al Nigiree As A Retaliation Against the American Aggression Against Yemen
By the grace of allah the brother and Moujahed hero Omar Al Farouq performed a quality act on the board of an American plane, taking off from the city of the Dutch city of Amsterdam to American city of Detroit, during the celebrations of "Christmas" holidays on Friday, December 25, 2009.
He overcame all their advanced technological devices and security barriers installed in world airport and he did it with courage, bravery, and no fear of death, relying on allah, destroying the great myth of U.S. and international intelligence, showing its fragility, forcing its nose in the dirt, making what they spent in the development of security techniques grief to them.
The unity of faith and Islamic brotherhood prompted this young rich man from Nigerian roots, brother Moujahedd Omar Al Farouq to retaliate directly against the oppressive American aggression against the Arabian Peninsula, and by the grace of allah through direct coordination with the moujahideen in the Arabian Peninsula after the brutal bombing using cluster bombs and cruise missiles launched from U.S. ships territories which occupy the Gulf of Aden against the proud Yemeni tribes in Abeen, Arhabm and finally in Shibuwa, and killing dozens of Muslim women and children and where entire families were killed, and these operations were a Yemeni-US-Saudi coordination as well as coordination with a number of neighboring countries.
The brothers Moujahideen in the manufacturing department were able to manufacture by the grace of allah an explosive device with advanced technology that has been tested and proven effective and has been able to overcome detectors.
Borther Umar was able to reach his target by the grace of allah, but by allah will technical error prevented a full explosion but we will continue the way allah willing until we get what we want, and religion is all for allah.
We call on every Muslim who are zealots for their religion and dogma to remove the infidels from the Arabian Peninsula, by killing all the crusader working in the embassies and other places, and declare it a total war against each crusader on the island of Muhammad in the land, sea and air.
We call on every soldier working in the crusader armies and puppet governments to repent to allah and follow the example of the hero Moujahid brother Nidal Hassan, and kill with all available tools every crusader to bring victory to religion of allah and to keep his word in the land.
Therefore, we say to the American people that because you support your leaders and are standing behind them to kill our women and children then be ready for the worst we came to slaughter you and we prepared for you men love death as you love life, and allah willing we will bring what you have not seen before, just as you kill you will be killed but tomorrow is very near.
Oh allah strengthen brother Moujahed Omar Al Farouq to be on the side of the truth, and give him serenity and patience and persistence many folds of the suffering that fell upon him , Oh allah take his worry and agony, and give him an relief soon. Oh allah free him and the other muslim prisoners from East to West, Oh allah give victory to your moujahideen in every place and defeat the people of polytheism, and a prayer to thank allah the lord of the universe.

One day of traveling could be his reason for no luggage. Besides there is a travel guide guy who appears on The Today Show frequently who states he always mails his luggage. One way tickets are used for many reasons. Sometimes passengers lose their original tickets.
Knowing the final destination of his travel plans, would help. Has a copy of his purchased ticket been published?
Outrage As Feds Curb Shoe Bomber Prison Rules

Airplane shoe bomber Richard C. Reid no longer faces severe limits on his prison activities or communications after the Obama administration quietly ended years of hard-nosed curbs against the British-born al-Qaeda terrorist.
This summer the Justice Department halted six years of measures that kept Reid from associating or praying with fellow jailed Muslim terrorists, and limited his access to the news media and pen pals.
