And yet he was still granted citizenship?…
Sources tell CBS News that would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared on a Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list – Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) – between 1999 and 2008 because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States.
TECS is a major law enforcement computer system that allows its approximately 120,000 users from 20 federal agencies to share information. The database is designed to identify individuals suspected of or involved in violation of federal law.
The system has been recently called inefficient by members of Congress. In late March, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Susan Collins of Maine criticized the system in a letter to DHS, writing that, “Current functionality does not allow interoperability among databases, fast searching of information, modern interfaces for users of the system, or sufficient security to protect critical terrorist travel data.”

George Bush sure knows how to provoke terrorists.
He was only a governor from Texas at the time he pushed this guy into a life of terror.

That is just insane isn’t it? What's insane is he got citizenship three months after Obama took office.

Quick question, how is that possible since DHS wasn't created until 2002 through the Department of Homeland Security Act of 2002?

How much did they pay for the system and exactly how much money actually went into the system?
If he was on the list; why wasn’t he detained?
I told you that thug in the WH let him board.
