The Nigerian government has enhanced security checks at its airports after a young Nigerian man tried to blow up a U.S. airliner.
Nigerian Information Minister Dora Akunyili told reporters a range of measures have been introduced to boost security at airports in response to the failed attack.
"We want to assure everybody that our airports are very safe, having just passed American Investigation and Security Administration audit in November 2009. However, in the light of the new development, we have reinforced our security systems in all our airports," she said.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian student with alleged links to al-Qaida, tried to detonate explosives just before a U.S. jetliner landed in Detroit on a trip from Amsterdam Friday. Abdulmutallab began his journey in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos.

Might as well let the fox guard the hen house; half the population of Nigeria is muslim and growing...good luck.
Seems the people who should be looking at their security systems are the US, the Dutch and the Brits.
Because the bomber, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, started his journey with his bomb at the airport in Lagos Nigeria, took a KLM flight from Lagos to Amsterdam, and connected to the Northwest flight at Amsterdam airport after about a 12-hour layover in the Amsterdam airport.
Likely this was to avoid at least one level of security at the Amsterdam airport (check in and concourse entry), and to ease any screening questions at the gate in Amsterdam.
Not yet !
Not until my princess bride and her father's 14 million dollars gets here ... just wait another day until my bank numbers clear.
Have a chat with a Nigerian Christian sometime.
It is very clear they get what is going on more than anyone on the planet with the exception of Israelis.
Correction. It was only a 3-hour layover in the Amsterdam airport.
That is the political debate that needs to happen, immediate institution of the same profiling techniques used by EL AL, for or against.
I have no doubt on which side of the question the marxists in charge of homeland security will come down.
This will last only a few days, then it is back to normal.

Amsterdam needs to sharpen up.
Flights from Nigeria are already prohibited from entering US airspace due to substandard maintenance protocols...that’s why the bomber connected in Amsterdam.
Damn...they assured me I was the only recipient of that letter, right after the Oil Minister told me he was wiring $30,000,000 into my account for safekeeping.
Post of the day, maybe even the week, LOL
