Will the White House People Actually Learn Anything from the Christmas Bomber Failed Attempt?
Has the USA Learned Any of These Things Since the Christmas Bomber Attempt?
Here are some things that perhaps we could have learned from the Christmas Bomber’s attempt to kill 300 people with explosives in his underpants. Which, if any, of these things do you think we may learn.
#1. To use a Google style system on a national security intra-net grid, which allows every word in a post to be indexed, and then allows all posts in the system to be cross-correlated based on incoming questions, like for example, just inputting somebodys name, or just the word "nigerian", or just the word "visa"
#2. That systems which have the capacity to get slack, become much more likely to get slack at major holidays like Christmas Eve, and that Al Qaida is so smart that they have figured that out, and are fully able to plan their attacks for our most vulnerable moments.
#3 That we need to start tracking potential America haters long before they do anything wrong. We need to have a list of potential enemies of the USA based on behavioral factors. This list would not be an accusation, or an indictment. It would just be sort of like a radar reflector tag, so if one of these people shows up at any security related event (like a flight), at least we know a bit about that person’s background.
#4 With shoe bomber and the underpants bomber both failing for lack of a proper detonator, it’s likely that Al Qaida now knows that most high explosives do require a blasting cap to set them off. Electronic blasting caps can be radio controlled. Al Qaida does know that, they don’t have to rely on Lonely Answers Club to learn it.
#5 The next aircraft bomber is probably going to carry the bomb tucked in to their intestines. Properly shaped and placed 3 oz of semtex would be very hard to see on a full body scanner. Al Qaida has such a scanner, so they could make sure the HE was invisible. Radio controlled detonators can be made of lightweight plastics and installed with the HE. 3 oz of semtex would blow a 747 out of the sky. Suicide bombers are there to die, so having the bomb inside their intestines is not a problem for them. For us it could be if we haven’t done any behavioral profiling and we have no idea who our enemies are likely to be (like the guys at the CIA camp had zero clue about who was their friend and who was their enemy).
#6 John Brennan has not tendered his resignation, or if he has Barack Obama has not accepted it. Both men are talking about general diffuse systems failures. Obama now says that all leads should be run down by some person who will be held accountable for doing so. Running down leads combined with an intranet Google style database of indexed notes would be a powerful way to find needles in haystacks. Somebody is putting queries in to a system that is designed to correlate previously unconnected data based on incoming queries. So dots get connected. The machine does it. It does the "analysis". Lead chaser just puts in the well-written queries. By the way Admiral Poindexter was fired from DARPA and the CIA for suggesting just this sort of data mining in real-time approach. Maybe the government owes him an apology.
You may feel that we won’t learn any of these things. Or maybe just one or two. If nothing on my list seems worthy to you, let me know your list. If you like some of my things, let me know what you like.
Thank you so much.

BTW, you are probaly on the govt’s list now

The White House people are democrats. They already know everything. The only problem is everything they already know is wrong. They can’t even keep strange people from showing up at the White House for dinner.
They are going to keep terrorist out of random aircraft, all over the world?
