Common sense should tell you that more inspections, at the American airports, would not have stopped the underwear bomber. Every time we find a bomber, on a aircraft, coming from overseas, the first thing we do is beef up the inspections in the U.S.. The problem is and has always been in other countries. In this case Nigeria and or Amsterdam. We should try to all countries to inspect better. Now I know, that we can't get others to due a better job and I know that we can't be everywhere but we can inspect at major airports, where one would need to change plains to get to the USA. Places like London, Israel, Russia and Austria, would not need to have our own people but others we need to control the passengers. We need not have people in countries that do not have direct flights to the U.S. but we need to check, ourselves and not rely on others. Now I, also, know that it will never be done, because of feelings of some other countries would be hurt, that would be a price I would be willing to take. Have the military instead of a TSA, we know how to inspect people. Unless you can get, what is called an hourglass system, at all major foreign airports, that have direct flights to the U.S. slowing down domestic flights with more inspections, will not help anything. Our security, at domestic airports are just fine, it's the airports overseas that have direct flights to the U.S. that is the problem. When do the people in charge get it. I know of a city that the answer to a Molotov cocktail was to put in a metal detector. This what happened, with the underwear bomber, all security in the USA, got tighter. The threat came from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam no place in the U.S., so why tighten down the domestic airports and backup flights, who knows. Get it right it is the foreign airports, nothing will get better.
Thanks
