The current administration in Washington is amazingly inept.

TSA hands al-Qaeda et al it's playbook.

In a blunder of astonishingly poor judgment, the TSA allowed one of its most sensitive documents, the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manual, to be posted online. And then, instead of admitting the seriousness of its security breach, the TSA tried to take the position that the information wasn’t that important.
..................................
One of the more troublesome exposures that must be addressed is the publication of undercover agents’ ID cards — including those for CIA officers and federal air marshals.
............................................
The largest group of federal law enforcement officers in the country wants action, not backpedaling. John Adler, spokesman for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA), told the House Homeland Security Committee, “Both TSA’s posting of sensitive security information and their unwillingness to grasp the seriousness of this are unacceptable.” Adler asked for closed-door congressional investigations, including a “meaningful damage-control assessment.”
..............................................................
Here are a few highlights from the TSA’s SOP manual, which unfortunately reads like a how-to-breach-airport-security manual for terrorists:

Orthopedic shoes, wheelchairs, casts, prosthetics, and footwear of disabled individuals that cannot be removed are exempt from screening, as are bandage dressings.

Pilots in uniform are exempt from screening. Even if they look drunk, the TSA must not screen them, but instead should contact the FAA.

Diplomatic pouches are exempt from screening; the SOP describes in detail what one looks like, including exactly where the diplomatic seal should be.

There’s only a “20%” chance that a bag packed with explosives will be opened for a test.

People from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, or Algeria will be given extra screening — but not individuals from Pakistan, where the majority of terrorists attacks presently occur.

Exit lanes are not monitored by TSA-certified officers, but instead are monitored by uncertified civilians who are allowed to sit while on duty.

Certain procedures for verifying identification documents aren’t used on all travelers during peak travel periods.

In case this doesn’t provide the terrorists with necessary holes to get past airport security, the SOP revealed another troubling detail. Videotaping security checkpoints is not prohibited. If al-Qaeda didn’t already get what it needed, it can send its foot soldiers into airports to photograph airport security procedures for future use.

Disinformation, counter Intelligence perhaps. Some of the list of items being stated as not checked probably are with various sensors. The seal could be a fake, close facsimile. If they see a seal that senors detect to be false, alarms. Special inks, dies, with certain light reflecting properties. Who could say.

John Adler seems to disagree with your conjecture.

You are always mighty quick to apologize for this administration ob.

Real seal.

Fake seal.

Dead seal.

Navy SEAL.

Conjecture = rubbing to sticks together.......



I have never apologised for any administration.




Adler nay not be the best one to state that disagrees, as a committee member of multiple house financial services sub-committee.

Where there's smoke there's fire. At least that's what the neanderthals said.

Then you agree this is the most inept administration in American history?? (barring of course that particularly inept administration of Jimmy Carter and company.)

Perhaps we aren't talking about the same man, I was referring to John Adler, spokesman for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA), about whom do you refer??

I was referring to this John Adler.

More on John Adler. (the one I quoted)

I find it interesting that Rasheed Tahir is the chapter president, what do you think??

I researched him. Found his picture, not a good picture. Found the name with pictures several times in fields like Chemical research, computer science and political science all from pakistan. However I don't think that they were him. Hope not anyway.

Also found it interesting that no information was attainable on him before 1999. "like he did not exist before that time". Which in itself is interesting.


I will say that the searches were limited to google. Other that it just being the ethnic name of a man. I don't know for sure why you find it interesting?

Obama is an empty suit. Biden is a brain-damaged alcoholic. Hillary is a bitter shrew. Holder is a racist, partisan hack. Napolitano is incompetent. Holdren is a goofball. Emmanuel is a vicious little psychopath.

hype and chintz. 52.6% of voters won't be that stupid again.

Well I think some postitions would be too sensitive to be entrusted to a foreign national. (Such as POTUS)

Bottom line is that Rasheed probably a pretty good guy if his fellow officers elected him to be chapter president.
