If you include a sharp eyed, very brave Dutch vacationer as part of your "system." Nothing worked, lady, including the terrorist's parents alerting authorities that their son had disappeared and been radicalized, his name, Umar farouk Abdulmutallab, being in a watch database, the Netherlands not agreeing to use our information (wasn't our president going to use his charm on the European nations, not clout?), his side trips to Yemen, his paying cash for his ticket, and his smuggling explosives aboard when the rest of us can't even get a water bottle or shampoo smuggled in. Now she wants to inconvenience the rest of us with a final one hour proscription against bathroom use (no one will want to sit next to me since I've had vomiting and diarrhea on my last two international flights). I hope she's retracted this ridiculous statement that no one, not even her boss, believes.
Link. Now he'll get a pro-bono lawyer and sue the airlines for his burns, I'm guessing.
Update from all sides of the political spectrum: Hell No, it didn't work! And she has now admitted it didn't, but her words on CNN Sunday were "taken out of context."
Update 2: This administration's backpeddling is just amazing. A day after his fourth day wimp-out that sounded like a weather report followed by a game of golf, Obama comes out with "new information" trying to pretend a little fire in his belly, but he's hopeless. Either he was hopelessly uninformed yesterday for that speech, or he doesn't care, never has, never will. Obama's second speech link. Never mind, couldn't find one except Tadjikistan.

And 4 days after the terrorst attack, our caring president addresses a grateful nation.
"Napolitano initially stressed "the system worked" during an interview on CNN this weekend, noting the crew of Flight 253 "took appropriate action" to address the terrorist plot as it unfolded. But her remarks were met with instant criticism, prompting the Homeland Security chief to clarify their meaning during a round of media appearances on Monday morning." The Hill
I forgot one flag--or just heard about it. He'd been denied a student visa.
Obama was a lot more upset and outspoken about the Cambridge police who stop an owner from breaking into his home than he was about a potential loss of life and total failure of our security system. LL
It seems odd that the rest of us knew from ordinary news sources on Sunday and Monday all the things he mentioned on Tuesday. I guess his advisors finally arrived and alerted him that his Monday speech was totally unacceptable.
