The System worked, give me a break will you? Except for the ineptitude of the terrorist, a plane full of innocent people would have been blown up. The DHS Secretary is way in over her head on National Security issues and was another of those incompetents appointed by Barack Obama. There is one key issue at play here, that being our government placing the rights of a few over the safety of many. Intelligence information was already held on this guy. Because of the political correct approach of not profiling, especially minorities, nothing was done. As such, he didn't make it to the Watch List for no flies and was even issued a Visa. It will no doubt take another major disaster or two for the fools in Washington D. C. to develop a backbone.
