I'm Scared What About You?

They seized a man named Faisal Shahzad from Dubai-bound plane at Kennedy Airport yesterday. Today Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was firm her agency acted quickly and then continued on until her story started falling apart in front of reporters. For eight years we had nothing that comes close to what is happening now. We had failed attacks but now it is too close for comfort.
Once again I feel the Fed's have let us down. We were only saved because smoke was coming from the SUV and it failed because the fertilizer mixture wasn't good.
Once again citizens were the ones who responded and reported the van. Remember the Christmas Day debacle? Why didn't they find this person long before now? He has been here quite awhile. There are too many surprises happening. It gives you the feeling they really don't know what they are doing. They keep playing catch up ball and we are the ones who will pay with our lives.
They had his home under surveillance and he was in the home and they lost him somehow along the way.
And then at the airport they failed again because he was able to buy a ticket even though by this time they had his name. The no-fly list failed on airline computers.
Customs and Border Protection officials spotted Shahzad's name on a passenger list. They called the plane and told them to come back from almost taking off. This is too close for comfort and I am scared!
Attorney General Eric Holder said" he was never in any fear that we were in danger of loosing him". Are you kidding, he was sweating in his boots. And by the seat of their pants they caught him.
And I still don't feel very safe. Marna
