(CNN) -- President Obama pledged Saturday that the United States will hold accountable all of the individuals involved in the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack aboard a U.S.-bound jetliner.

"All those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas must know you, too, will be held to account," Obama said in his weekly address.

Obama also recently spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to receive an update on a federal review of "detection capabilities and ... enhanced security measures" put in place since the attempted bombing.

A new Transportation Security Administration directive requires airlines to physically pat down all passengers boarding planes bound for the United States and inspect their carry-on bags.

The directive also gives airlines the discretion to take other measures to prevent people from secretly assembling or igniting bombs on aircraft. Those measures include prohibiting people from keeping pillows or blankets on their laps during the final hour of a flight.

Palin's son Trig has a higher IQ than Obozo.

Turn off this broken record.

"Obama Promises Justice for Christmas Terror Plotters"

Ah-oh, did anyone think to ask him whether he was referring to 'Social Justice', or the regular kind. You can't be sure of anything anymore!

The sentence for attempting to blow up an airliner full of people is 20 years in prison. That's what the Detroit underwear bomber faces: 20 years.

The sentence for illegally hacksawing 3" of barrel off of a shotgun that came from the sporting goods store with an 18" barrel is 10 years in prison and a 250,000 dollar fine.

Is this more of the Culture of Perversion by the Left or just another stupid bureaucratic rule? Since the last guy had the explosives concealed in his crotch I don't see this going anywhere. Either the TSA employee will not "pat down" that area, and it is therefore meaningless, or there will be some real showdowns at airports.

BINGO! The American public won't stand for this. This makes it personal and intrusive.

“’All those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas must know you, too, will be held to account,’ Obama said in his weekly address.”

He quickly added, “And don’t none of you racist Americans hold ME accountable for any of this, either!”
