—Janet, of course, wants to get the really dangerous ones of us on the “no-fly”list—gun owners, veterans, those with religious bumper stickers, etc.,-—

No luggage and on the list and no one was suspicious.

Was he really sick or just a trial run?

I thought we were all about security on planes. My husband's grandfather was pat down over his belt pinging off.

I'm not saying to not check him...someone could have given him something to carry on and, in his confusion sometimes, he might have done it not knowing what was going on.

But, for Heaven's sake....THIS guy had personal flags!

[Travis McGee]

Don't worry. Our very best inspectors are on the case.

I watched her dance around the questions on Meet the Press this AM. Very disturbing to hear her say, “the Federal Family”. A completely unaccountable and in your face interview imho.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

The incompetence of Barack Hussein Obama and his Black Muslim Presidency is limitless.

1. Obama’s FBI did not alert the ARMY that Maj Nidal Hassan was a Muslim Extremist.

2. Obama’s DSH posts super secret Airport Screening Manual on the internet.

3. Obama’s State Dept did nothing to revoke Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab’s VISA after Abdul’s father told the US Embassy that his son was a MUSLIM Extremist.

Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency wants to manage our HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Obama cannot get rid of Napolitano because she makes him look good.

[FreeperFlirt]

He said I’m Obama other half brother, that did it!

[maine-iac7]

Probably let him on because there were too many old grannies, like me, to give a thorough going over.

I went to Florida last winter - I'm in my mid-seventies - long white hair that I wear up in a bun.

After I took off my coat, I had a long shirt on - that they insisted was a jacket and I MUST take it off. Fortunately, unlike in summer, I had a tank top under it.

Then I set the alarms off - the pins holding up my hair. I offered to take them out but was told to keep my arms out...while they squeezed and examined my ‘bun’ several times...Then it was my jeans. Without thinking, I had worn jeans - no belt - and the rivets sets off the wand.
I was made to stand, arms out, while they turned down the waist of my jeans and felt every inch around it 3 or 4 times.

I'm a speak-my-mind old women - but I knew better than to make any of the several smart-mouthed remarks that rose to my lips. I have no doubt I would've been hauled off to a holding room and missed my flight. As I was traveling with one of my young granddaughters, I couldn't take the chance as I have no doubt they would've no problems sending her off on her own.

Interesting that today passengers arriving from Europe aresaying they are ALL getting full body frisking, meantime, no change in procedures at airports here.

Janet is too busy telling people to be suspicious of veterans to address the issue beyond a few words.

[cookcounty]

"Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insisted Sunday that there was no “specific and credible” information to put the alleged attempted bomber of Northwest Flight 253, on the federal “no fly” list.

"Not credible" because it was only Abdulmutallab's father who went to the US Embassy and warned he might do something dangerous, but it was dismissed because:

1. Abdulmutallab is a muslim.

2. Abdulmutallab's dad is a Nigerian.

3. Abdulmutallab's dad is a banker, so he was obviously just looking for a big bonus.

[Michael Barnes]

Why did US let Abdulmutallab get on a plane to Detroit? (Because Obama doesn't care about security)

Give me a sec, have to blow the dust off an old favorite of the left and make a few quick changes...

Okay, got it..

"Because Obama hates white people!"

Since he said that he was a member of al Queta and they have declared war on the United States why was he not given over to the Military so he could be questioned and put in a proper prison camp? Since he has now been given a federal paid for lawyer guess the left has done their anti-American best to keep him from having to tell who was his commander and who ordered him to do it?

Just think what would have been done to the Nazi had this been the same case then as now.

a homemade explosive

Just a small correction, Mr. Reporter. PETN is not considered a "homemade" explosive.

The device could be considered an IED, but not the explosive itself.

This combination of explosive and detonator should be considered sophisticated (but perhaps crude), and should be seen in the light of the number of dry runs we have seen on airliners lately.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

If someone belongs to an organization that tells the world that it wants to destroy the USA, that should be enough to keep the person off planes and out of the USA.

[sportutegrl]

How dare you say that Obama doesn’t care about security. He is right now in Hawaii demanding that tourist short hop interisland airplanes keep a 10 mile radius away from his awesomeness.

[ricks_place]

Secretary Janet Napolitano states "A single warning from a father is not enough to put someone on the federal no-fly list." Duplicity! The terrorist was not placed on the no-fly list because Napolitano decided otherwise! This is NOT the law; this is the Obama Administration POLICY! The Administration POLICY is fair game to partisan attack, especially when the Administration POLICY will destroy property, economic activity and Americans. God help us.

[CapnJack]

Could anyone here at FR imagine the massive CYA if this terrorist was SUCCESSFUL in bringing down this airliner?!?!

Could you imagine the nightmare of millions of people who flew somewhere for the Christmas holiday, not being able to be let on flights to get home ... as well as all flights being canceled for the immediate future!

The (to quote Al Sharpton) "magic negro" escaped this disaster by the skin of his teeth! Napolitano should be lucky to only be fired over this “almost” disaster! But of course nothing will happen to her.

[LottieDah]

Obama does not care about national security but only about shoving cap and trade and that costly health reform bill down our throats.

[Paperdoll]

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that Obama walks on his tippy toes around his brother Muslims. Where are the Constitutionalists to serve this fraudulent POTUS with treason?
