“Two egregious security failures allowed this to happen. First, despite an explicit warning from the terrorist’s father, his name did not get added to either of the TSA’s lists—the 4,000-name no-fly list or the 14,000-name selectee list. Had he been on the latter list, he would have been subjected to secondary screening at Amsterdam Schiphol airport, where a routine swabbing of his hands and/or carry-ons would likely have revealed traces of the PETN explosive. But even if this trace-detection had not been carried out, the PETN which the terrorist concealed in his underwear would have been detected had he been required to pass through one of the 15 of millimeter-wave body-scanners now in use at Schiphol. But airport officials there maintain that they are not permitted to use these machines for U.S.-bound passengers (though TSA has disputed that).
“Both failures reflect the flawed philosophy that underlies U.S. aviation security policy. For the most part, it continues to be fixated on keeping bad things—as opposed to bad people—off of airplanes. It also implicitly assumes every passenger is equally likely to be a terrorist, so every passenger must get equal treatment, except in extreme cases. That’s why it’s so hard to shift potential bad guys from the Department of Homeland Security’s much larger databases to TSA’s selectee and no-fly lists. As a libertarian, I agree that we should be very leery of forbidding people to fly without good reason. But requiring potentially high-risk travelers to undergo secondary screening (especially since we do some of this randomly, in any case) is hardly the end of the world. In fact, shifting to a risk-based approach to aviation security would likely mean increased security and lower costs, both for the TSA and especially lower wasted-time costs for most travelers. Under a risk-based approach, air travelers would be divided into three groups: lower-risk, ordinary, and higher-risk. The three groups would be treated differently, for very good reason.”

That’s also funny this British columnist doesn’t know the word marshal is a verb and martial is an adjective, and his editor had to correct him.

Thanks for your offer. It is always appreciated when we can work together to improve our Juice posting efforts.

While I am not sure about the added photo, let me thank you for adding the poll.
With regard to the actual story I printed it directly from the web and will send you a copy off line.
I did not touch a single key stroke after mentioning my sending him a copy of the juice post. Bear in mind that this is a Brit paper not US. The word he used in the Daily Telegraph IS “martialling”

We gotta get together, I will show you how to save yourself a LOT of work in the future.

Your Juice Brother.
