But I thought she was doing such a good job...

Democrats Join Calls for Napolitano to Step Down Following Failed Attack Democrats have joined the ranks of those calling for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to step down following the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight a week ago.

Wasn’t it The NYTimes that disclosed how we were tracking Bin Laden?

Hey, be careful about disclosing any highly-sensitive information, gentlemen.

You might get subpoenaed.

I also have a plan that includes former Navy Seals, but that one is classified

So you’d have to shoot me if you told me about it?

Geez. Should I still show up at DR/Sunday party?

I saw a news report where the woman from Oconomowoc who was on the flight with her children said she has compassion for the bomber. There’s got to be a name for that illness. At least with Stockholm Syndrome you get to interact with your potential killer(s),

I have seen a better idea, segregate Muslims, Democrats, and Congressional staffers to one set of flights. Put everyone else on the rest of the flights. One load of Democrats taken out by a panty bomber will force the Democrats to wake up to the fact we are at war, and them surrendering isn’t going to save them.

Barry is losing Maureen Dowd.

As the Nation’s Pulse Races, Obama Can’t Seem to Find His If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch? [...] Heck of a job, Barry.

Followup: that also allows for the retired street-cop people, who could be hired by the airlines as well.

No PC bullshit problems. You don’t like profiling? Fly another airline. Of course, you could also walk, or drive, or swim.

Unhhh…Glenn…

Saw another idea on a different website. How about this:

FIRE most of the TSA people. Put the responsibility for allowing/disallowing boarding on the airlines. Let them hire a bunch of Israeli El-Al security people to run the business, with only a few TSA people at each airport w/database access, arrest/detention authority, etc.

IOW, get Gummint out of it–mostly.
