How can VISA notice a suspicious charge to my account, freeze my card, call me up to let me know about it, and then mail me a brand new credit card within 3 business days…….yet the Obama administration and the entire US government (with trillions of dollars in unlimitted resources) can’t figure out how to keep a suspected terrorist who’s father warned officials of his sons intentions weeks ago, from boarding a plane with explosives and no passport?
I’m reading through all of the ridiculous answers to this question, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what GEORGE W BUSH has to do with Obama’s failure to prevent a known terrorist from boarding a plane with explosives and no passport. They might as well being saying "If Bush could screw up national security, it should be okay for Obama to screw it up too."
The bottom line is that if credit card companies and other private sectore organizations can pick up fraud on a credit card account then SURELY our government with all of it’s resources can figure out how to keep known terrorists off of airplanes with explosives! How you ask? SIMPLE! Put them on a now fly list and DO NOT LET THEM ENTER THE UNITED STATES! Better yet, when they try to board a plane why not have them arrested on the spot? Or are the rights of islamic terrorist suspects more importan than the safey of 200+ Americans trying to fly home for Christmas?
