Fred says suicide is so sad to watch.  Especially to nations.

So little is necessary to terrorize the world’s hyperpower. A free-lance dingaling secretes a bomb of sorts in his shoe, whereupon the US goes into convulsions and long lines of Americans stand comically barefoot in airports. Dingaling Two popularizes liquid explosives, and so Washington frenziedly confiscates toothpaste. Yes, the world’s hyperpower is afraid of Colgate, with fluoride. Dinglaling Three hides the infernal machine in his skivvies, so Obama makes Firm Pronouncements, and we will now have to undergo examination by panty scanners. Always, over and over, the terrorists have the iniative. The country reacts hugely and predictably.

It's so easy to see why this was ignored. A Nigerian banker contacting them on a matter of grave importance?

On September 11th 2001, the government’s (1970s) security procedures all failed, and the only good news of the day came from self-reliant citizens (on Flight 93) using their own wits and a willingness to act.

On December 25th 2009, the government’s (post-9/11) security procedures all failed, and the only good news came once again from alert individuals:

Oh great…more delays at the airport for those who really aren’t any threat at all.

The attempt to detonate an explosive aboard a Delta Air Lines Inc flight from Amsterdam to Detroit will prompt more intrusive security checks at airports for the foreseeable future and spur the development of new technologies that will eventually speed passenger screening, according to aviation security specialists in Europe.

Will anyone get fired this time for letting this obvious terrorist through?  I doubt it.  Keep wanding the 80 year olds, guys.
