Relax: DHS says airport workers suspected of terror ties have now all been vetted
Jihad Watch ^ | 4/6/16 | Robert Spencer

Can an administration that doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the terrorists' motivating ideology really vet these people, or anyone else?

"Airport employees thought to have possible terrorist ties have now been vetted," by George Colli, Action News Jax, April 6, 2016:

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is setting the record straight on our series of reports from last month about dozens of private airline employees having possible terrorist ties.

At a press conference with Senate Democrats announcing three new proposed amendments to the FAA Re-authorization Act of 2016, Johnson told Washington Bureau reporter George Colli that none of the employees flagged in last year's Homeland Security Inspector General Report are a threat.

"It's not that they're suspected terrorists. It's that they hadn't been vetted through all available databases," said Johnson. "We have since corrected that problem and the cases have been resolved."

When asked in a follow-up by Colli if there is anything the department is doing now to strengthen the vetting of airline employees, Johnson said "we're doing a better job of consulting all of the right databases when it comes to airport security and a host of other things."

We’re living on borrowed time with this insanity.

If something happens, it’s the database’s fault?

“Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is setting the record straight on our series of reports from last month about dozens of private airline employees having possible terrorist ties.”

Really puts my mind at rest, coming from a person that can’t even spell his name correctly (even my spell checker rebukes him)!

When the Administration says something, assume the opposite.

Therefore, we have > 1000 Al Quaeda working at our airports.

Yeah, right. That will never be something we can say ‘is all done.’ It won’t be over for a long time, maybe not even in our lifetimes. We must maintain all due diligence and keep watching.

Flight free since Sept.2002.

Don’t miss it, and I am glad I don’t have to fly anywhere.

I was traveling through Logan the day the Cole was bombed—the day that marked the Islamists first salvo. On that day, every security post was manned by Muslims—the same as when ten of the nineteen terrorists boarded planes from Logan on Sept 11. I feel so much safer now that those Muslims wear TSA uniforms.

VETTED
