Federal authorities and Virgin America are
trying to explain how Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi
was able to get through layers of airport
security — and then avoid arrest for five
days after officials discovered he was a
stowaway.
Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, 24, pictured above
in a 2008 Chicago arrest report, allegedly
flew from New York to Los Angeles on an
expired boarding pass in someone else's
name. His Chicago arrest came after he
allegedly refused to pay a $4.70 fare
on a Metra train. (Chicago Police Department
/ January 3, 2008)

Virgin America Flight 415 from New York to
Los Angeles was already two hours into its
journey when some passengers in the upscale
"Main Cabin Select" section complained that
the man seated in 3E reeked of body odor.

Obama’s next counterterror chief a lawyer
Posted By Uncle Jimbo • [July 01, 2011]
Excerpt:
A little more lawfare anyone?
~ ~ ~
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s next counterterrorism chief is Matthew Olsen, the top lawyer for the National Security Agency and a former prosecutor who has extensive experience in intelligence affairs, an administration official told The Associated Press on Friday.

Well that is pretty much par for the course eh?
This administration has always believed that terrorism is a law enforcement function and having a lawyer run the counterterror show is right in tune.
Perhaps we can kick start our subpoena capabilities. The only thing that messes with my head in the whole jelly roll is how they manage to stop the cognitive dissonance between treating captured terrorists like OJ Simpson and yet shoving Hellfire missiles down the throats of guys we haven’t even charged with crimes.
If we screw up and accidentally catch a bad guy alive, then he gets the ghost of Johnny Cochran to represent him and the protections of our legal system in full.

SO, the guy REALLY doesn’t like to pay for mass transit, huh?
He gets arrested in Chicago for not paying a $5 train fare, now he wants a free flight.
Let’s give him a free trip on the next Mars mission. One-way, of course.
Throwing his ass into a Chicago Jail should be quite similar.
Well, you made amends. We still want to kick terrorists in the nuts.
Cities on High Alert as July Fourth Nears: ‘Threat Is Very Real’

Thanks Starwise for the ping.
Here’s the FR thread that goes with your article link:

All this TSA stuff is a mega scam for Federal Jobs.
Bush really screwed the pooch big time.
I am ever vigilant. Unfortunately for us I will be in the woods of seldom seen.
Because he wasn’t “lite” colored, 5 or 95 years old, wearing a diaper or prosthetic.
His arrest record says place of birth Iowa. Key primary voter no doubt.
You have hit the nail on the head . . .
If he was a 95 year old Grandma with a diaper, they would have been all over him...Another crack in the system caused by the refusal to profile the most likely problems...
TSA was too busy patting down 95-year-old grannies in wheel chairs and walkers to bother checking this guy for ID.
The TSA is not designed to keep us safe, but to expand the nanny state controlling us in the name of keeping us safe.
If the political elite really wanted safety on air planes, they would emulate Israel’s policy of profiling behavior.
>>NOT in his name
Gives new meaning to the phrase “not in my name”
He was asked to show his boarding pass while on the plane,
two hours into the flight? Usually I fly Southwest and after I get through security (showing my boarding pass and license) I give the boarding pass to the employee letting me onto the plane and they keep it. Asking to show a boarding pass
when plane is in flight?
In my own case I usually print up 2 copies of my boarding pass, leaving one in my carryon luggage in case I accidentally lose the one in my shirt pocket. Mine are legit though.
>>proclaims himself a “storyteller, strategist and designer who is passionate about reaching the world for Jesus,”
...Note (not Allah)...I guess given his scams the phrase
“storyteller” would fit, though. Yes.
Sometimes criminals can get caught due to slight things like this. Like the guys who get stopped for a broken tail light...and the cops find a bunch of drugs in their car.
Yeah, but they're private industry, not unionized federal drones.
