Like a football coach trying to explain away the trouncing his team just took by building up the opponent, Janet Napolitano is seeking to diminish the Obama administration's NWA 253 failure by exaggerating the cunning of the Christmas Day plot.
The hapless Homeland Security head has a 679-word piece in today's USA Today basically promising to do better. She begins with this line [emphasis added]:
Friday's attempted terrorist attack against Northwest Flight 253 near Detroit is a powerful illustration that terrorists will go to great lengths to try to defeat the security measures that have been put in place since September 11, 2001.
"Great lengths?" Really? You buy a plane ticket for a kid, stick a few ounces of explosives in his nappies, then hope he'll make it onboard and remember which end to light.

Napolitano’s latest lame excuse ping to Today show list.
1. Purchase round trip ticket, for one,
2. Could have also faked a passport and visa, but didn't,
3.Could have used a woman instead of a young male,
4. Could have made last leg from Canada, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Bermuda, etc., but didn't.
Why, then, was what they did so 'extraordinary'? Because you are incompetent with a huge Lezzy EGO that tells you that you cannot do anything wrong, ergo, anyone who gets the better of you went to extra lengths to do so. You are an idiot incompetent that should be given a helmet and a lifetime pass to the Special Olympics.
This one is Janet Reno on Steroids!
How “cunning” do you have to be to plant explosives in your own underpants, or, more likely, allow someone else to plant explosives in your underpants? Napolitano is incompetent, in waaaay over her head, and a textbook example of the Peter Principle. She has no — NO — law enforcement, not to mention security, cred whatsoever. Obama has put a large part of our national security in the hands of a woman with no national security experience, knowledge or skills whatsoever. So how serious are we supposed to think he is about keeping us safe? Until the terrorists start knocking his friends’ kids on the head with surf boards, he won’t take it seriously.
This situation calls for an UNDERWEAR CZAR.
A new czar, crotch czar, the perfect job for the safe schools czar.
“Went to great lengths...”
Must have been long boxers..
“is a powerful illustration that terrorists will go to great lengths to try to defeat the security measures that have been put in place since September 11, 2001.”
Are you kidding me? All of the security measures were ignored by security.
Hey, buddy! Back off. She’s busy trying to figure out how to get her knife ban past the senate.

Next: pointy sticks.
A vast majority of the comments I read at the source you linked in your blogpost were very negative toward Napolitano. Thanks for keeping an eye on her, Mark.
GRRRREAT post/thread!
DHS Napolitano’s answer to any future security threat is to look down every male’s pants and yank out anything that is there, whether it belongs there or not.
Thanks, PG: drip, drip, drip!
In other words, a perfect fit with the Obama Administration!
Thanks, you said it all for me.
