Lindsey Graham: Wrong name hid Russia trip
Politico ^ | April 22, 2013 | Kevin Cirilli

Posted on 04/22/2013 8:31:16 AM PDT by Gorilla44

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday that the FBI did not know that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — the deceased Boston Marathon bombing suspect — went on a six-month overseas trip in 2011 because his name was misspelled.

“He went over to Russia, but apparently when he got on the airplane, they misspelled his name, so it never went into the system that he actually went to Russia,” Graham said on Fox News, saying he spoke to an assistant director of the FBI.

This is so much Lyndsay Graham BS. Names are not the only information. Passport numbers are also checked. I assume Tamarlan’s passport was issued by Chechnya or Krysakstan (sp?)

“Did he pass through an airport immigration and/or customs agent - officers who are known to be quite thorough (at least used to be)?”

Well, I know of at least one Homeland Security agent who works at Boston International airport that is a member of the same mosque that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended.

“Back at the new Boston Mosque, I met a man originally from Somalia who was wearing the headdress and robes often associated with negative movie images of Muslims. But he says he s a living example of someone who contravenes easy stereotypes. I work for Homeland security. And because he works for Homeland Security at Boston’s International airport (where the World Trade Center terrorists commandeered the planes that drove into the towers), he preferred that his name not be used.”

I thought passports had numbers on it. no passports scanned into a database? wow what a crapped up system.”

And Graham is touting the new immigration bill because they are going to “fix the system” so they know when someone has overstayed their visa and they can be turned over to the feds. Now that I know that, I’ll be sure to run right out and support it - NOT!

I mean, Really? So, now we know how to cover your ties to terrorists’. I think I’ll change mine from “saleman” to “salemen”. Hope this works for the IRS too.

These people really do take us for idiots don’t they?

Graham believed that crap?

FAR too many accomplices in Washington that know EXACTLY who to "talk" to in order to provide the correct coverage.

Whenever I travel on business to LONDON they scan my passport, look at the stamps and ask me what I was doing there. Is that scanner connected to ANYTHING??

I was harassed on my way back in from CANADA!!

At least he would have been able to vote, no matter how he name was spelled.

It would seem that no one has a real clue about who all is in the United States, where they came from, where they are now and when they were to leave. I would also suspect that there is not one single federal government data base that could be relied upon to provide correct information.

I was in our post office last night dropping off some letters. They used to have a slot on the wall for misaddressed mail. Now they have a huge box on the floor which was overflowing.

I asked one of our state legislators if anyone in our local government verifies documents of Medicaid applicants, like calling the state which issued the birth certificate presented to verify that that person was born in the state shown on the document. His response “I really doubt it”.

Now days, they scan passport. For international travel, they scan Green Card also.
Amnesty is lying.

If his name on the airline’s passenger roster was not the same spelling as on his passport then how did the airline issue the bording pass?

Is someone traveling to somewhere outside the U.S. from a U.S. airport NOT required to use their passport in order to obtain their bording pass, and is not their passport checked against the airline’s passenger roster?

Well, maybe they just need to go on “safari” and blast some caged farm-pheasants.
