UPDATE: More are finding there way to the airport. Luckily some countries have begun to red flag this fly debris.
It seems that the Fruit of the Kaboom bomber really didn’t have much to worry about. POTUS’ first meeting was the 22nd of December. Everything was well. Anything that could go wrong was being addressed.
Really? This administration had better get that sorry collective IQ working sometime soon. How many red flags can you miss?
In a separate White House meeting that day, Mr. Obama’s homeland security adviser, John O. Brennan, led talks on Yemen, where a stream of disturbing intelligence had suggested that Qaeda operatives were preparing for some action, perhaps a strike on an American target, on Christmas Day.
Yet in those sessions, government officials never considered or connected links that, with the benefit of hindsight, now seem so evident and indicated that the gathering threat in Yemen would reach into the United States.
Just as lower-level counterterrorism analysts failed to stitch together the pieces of information that would have alerted them to the possibility of a suicide bomber aboard a Detroit-bound jetliner on Christmas, top national security officials failed to fully appreciate mounting evidence of the dangers beyond the Arabian Peninsula posed by extremists linked to Yemen.

Fruit of the Kaboom bomber
ROTFLMAO! That’s the best one I’ve seen yet!
What really kills me is that nothing has changed since 9/11 and even after this…I doubt if anything else will change. Except, that is, the average citizen will go through shake-downs like a bunch of criminals while our National Security dudes sleep on the job and play politics with the rules.

Yes, we will get the shake down of our lives thanks to these rats, erstwhile the criminals in DC get to run and play.
