Good work, guys! Now he won’t be able to load up his underwear and come into the US to do anything dastardly. I feel so much safer!
The U.S. State Department on Tuesday said it had revoked the visa it had given a Nigerian man after his alleged attempt to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day with explosives hidden in his underwear.
Even Joan Rivers is a terrorist suspect
So the Nigerian man will be slightly inconvenienced. While the innocent traveling public is VERY inconvenienced, some more. They are revoking his visa? Does that mean they plan to deport him? Or that he just won’t be able to use a visa, while he’s in prison, because he won’t have it anymore? Seems a worthless move, either way. No visa won’t stop him from leaving or entering the US. Illegals do it everyday. And a new ID can be forged, for the next time he flies in. I’ll bet they don’t even bother checking fingerprints. So all of this is for nothing.
They mentioned “bomb sniffing dogs” on the news, and how few there were of them. But failed to mention the bomb sniffing tech, that exists. It very hard to make a bomb, that doesn’t give off telltale traces of it chemical components. And they wouldn’t have to make them sensitive to just one specific person. They could have a machine sampling the air at the boarding terminal. If it alerts. Check everyone, who’s there at the time. It’s a waste of time and money, testing each person that comes thru, all the time. And the ACLU can’t complain about privacy violation, from something smell the air around people.
It seems to me like the security authorities have all but abandoned the explosive sniffer technology. Instead they put all the money into X-Ray machines, that aren’t going to find squat, if it’s sewn into clothing, part of a prosthetic limb, or even a body implant. But it makes better theater to show the public, than a sniffer, that they’ll never see. Giving them a false sense of safety. They’re still not serious about stopping terrorists, to give up these inefficient theatrics.
SO HE HAD A Passport from Nigeria..
And he could go anywhere??
Then he applied for a VISA to come to the USA from ANOTHER country??
He didnt need a VISA, if he was Just visiting??
What was his reason ON THE VISA for coming to the USA?? Visiting family?? that isnt told to us, as SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE.
Or did they look at the sport that asks RELIGION and not list it..
I just looked at the Visa approval process..
This person had to wait along time to get into the USA. IF someone was doing there job right.
Regarding the chosen image for this story:
Dude! Do NOT spill the hot coffee!
I’m taking a different attitude here…as is typical and normal, a heightened alert status is unsustainable for a long period of time. People get lax, tedious procedures get overlooked. It happens, and don’t think this situation would have turned out any different 365 days ago.
But this poor schmuck was perfect. He woke up the entire system without causing any serious harm. Given that major terrorists strikes are roughly eight years apart, this is perfect timing to wake up the system to full alertness.
This foiled terror attempt is paying huge dividends for us as this guy is squealing like Rush Limbaugh during his stick in butt removal surgery.
