The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004
The act calls for various improvements to secure U.S. borders against terrorists; requires a DHS strategy for closer integration of travel intelligence operations and law enforcement to intercept terrorists and restrict their mobility;and requires the integration of all data on aliens and relevant law enforcement and intelligence data to govern visa issuance, admissions, and deportations. EM MINE.
So full well knowing that the nut job was on a watch list, and had been turned in by his father… Yeah the system worked.

IC, cliffi mailed it in with a few half-assed racist fisks, but KKKay finished it off with the uber-stooooooooooopid grand finale™!

kayinmaine December 29th, 2009 @ 7:31 pm Dick Cheney and his cohorts at the Project for the New American Century was all that was needed for them to complete 9/11/01. The End. Spit!

It’s a good thing the fringe left isn’t closed minded! That would make them like reich wingers!

Oh, no one ever accused them of being sane! These are societies that turn objective standards of right and wrong on their ear! These standards aren’t based on Judeo Christian or any other type of religious mores. They are objective standards. Life is life and it is the basis of who we are. To take it by murder is bad – regardless of faith. These bastards turn the very basis of being human inside out. That’s why we had such a hard time predicting an attack of this kind. We can’t put ourselves into the shoes of savages who destroy objective standards of good and bad.

Think about it! This scrote was so fanatical, he was actually willing to blow up his junk for the glory of allah! We – as civilized people – can’t ever understand how you can hate infidels more than you love your penis!

the amount of PETN was more than enough to blow out the side of the aircraft and if it had been properly utilized in mid flight would most likely brought it down. for obvious reasons i will not explain what should have been done to make a workable bomb. they will keep trying until they get it right because only a strip search and body cavity exploration stands a chance of finding this type of bomb and i don’t see that happening.

CORRECTION to # 20 above.

When I was chasing down the amounts of PETN used, the first figures I found don’t match others I have since encountered. The consensus figure seems to be that Abdul ben Charredballs used around 60 g. not 800 g. of PETN, with Richard Reid using about 20 g. less. That makes the problem easier for the enemy, dammit.

I went one better … she has a rant about how we need to stop attacking countries on behalf of Israel .. I said ‘Wow your antisemitism is really strong today .. I wonder how it’d sound in the original German?’

Think that will make her pop an O ring?

#15 LC Nicki the Resident Misanthropic Bitch says:

I don’t know about youse guys, but whenever I’m feeling blue, I just don an explosive maxi pad. Feeling that first burn sure takes all those sad thoughts away!

Nicki, while you were joking, y’all may have hit on something there. To us, who are relatively sane [and note I said relatively] Americans who were raised in a Judeo-Christian based society with mores far different from that of the Ummah; it is a joke. But it may not be to them. There have been female Muslim suicide bombers. Some have been coerced, blackmailed, etc., but some have the same Shaheed motiviations as males. Remember the thwarted attempt to take out a bunch of airliners over the North Atlantic in 2006? That was the one with liquid explosives that caused the bans of carrying liquids on airliners. There were mothers who brought their babies on board, concealing the explosives in their baby formula. Note that these were Brit nationals, many of whom were raised there.

From reports I have seen, and the pictures of Abdul ben Charredballs’ explosive underwear; he used 600 g. of PETN in what was about a 6″ long condom-like container. That was 200 g more than used by Richard Reid in his shoe-bomber attempt. You could get 600 g. or more in a maxi-pad.

They would have no scruples in doing it. Remember, these are the bastards who practice genital mutilation on their own female children. They have female volunteers. The video from Afghanistan with Charredballs’ smiling face claiming credit for Al Quada specifically said that they had figured out how to penetrate the airline security systems [and they proved it].

How often do TSA drones [Actually, I feel sorry for the poor buggers as they are just free fire zones if they should accidentally catch something during the screening.] check women in Muslim dress other than the most cursory wave through? Or even what may be a Middle Eastern woman in Western dress? What are the odds that a supervisor would authorize a check of a belt and pad? Not … gonna … happen.

If they come up with reliable detonators, anyone want to give odds that they won’t do this? Or if anyone brings this possibility up to the DHS chain of command that they will not be “sent to Coventry”, or worse.

I used to jump out of airplanes for fun. I am not scared of flying as such, or leaving an airplane in flight with the proper equipment [mind you, I am considerably older and a lot more beat up, and a PLF with a modified military T-6 may in itself cause more damage than it used to] does not bother me. Two of my kids have skydived. But me and mine are going to stay on the ground for a while unless on a private aircraft.

RR … I tried posting this and of course it vanished in 5 seconds over at Kayinsane’s .. I cant imagine why ..

Um .. wow .. a ‘9 11 Truther’

Sorry but it’s taking me a minute to actually type my reply and not laugh myself silly in the process ..

wait a second ..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :snort: :laugh:

:taking deep breath:

OK I am better now ..

Um, Kay, let me clue you in on what a conspiracy involves, and I say this actually HAVING an investigative background and actually having interrogated people in the past.

It involves .. people. With a conspiracy the size you speak of, do you have the smallest clue as to the number of people who’d be involved? How does thousands of people if not tens of thousands sound?

And yet .. you still can’t find one person who can show an irrefutable linkage – actual provable DIRECT evidence which would stand up in a Court of Law (which is what Ogabe wants to do with KSM) that would show what you claim.

Oh, granted, you can do a thousand what ifs. You can point back to how we used the Afghani resistance to boot the Soviets out of Afghanistan in the 80s and then it came back to bite us .. but you might want to avoid taking THAT tack. Nobody can look into the future, and if you want to take that tack I can also point out the historical fact that Clinton could have had OBL handed to him in the 90s. He declined.

How different would the world be if Clinton had some balls and had taken OBL when given the chance?

There’s an old saying .. and you might want to remember this. It’s better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

And yes, I did a screenshot of this. I fully expect your blood pressure to spike and the delete key will get pounded.

:smirk:

Radical Redneck – nooooo way!!!! No way that’s real!!! That’s got to be some of the best farkin’ satire on the planet! I just can’t believe that kind of stooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid is possible!

AyUaxe – you’d be surprised how many incredibly competent, intelligent and committed people I work with. I’d say 99 percent of my coworkers can be described as that (I don’t work for DHS, but I work for the FedGov). Unfortunately it’s not me and my coworkers who make the policy – it’s the politicians. When they go away, so will the stoooooooopid… unless of course another stooooooooooopid is elected in its place.

No worries, Lobo! I never doubted your discretion–it was just a good jumpin’ off point for my lil rant.

It would be interesting to hear from ones, such as yourself and Nicki, what DHS is really saying and doing about this “revelation” that despite all their efforts, security is still swiss cheese, with State Dept. punching extra holes all the time.

Is there any hope whatsoever for a house cleaning in both of those agencies and promotions for guys and gals who have actually done work and demonstrated competency on the front lines? Aw shite! What am I thinking? This is a demoncrat administration. I’ll re-ask the question in about 3 years.
