All was well...now it wasn't


Now she's trying to walk back her comments that the system worked.

LMAO, if it wasn't so damn serious. Put someone who isn't subject to stupidity in charge of Homeland Security please.

I'm waiting for them to blame Bush on this.



Napolitano (now) says airline security system failed

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the aviation security system failed when a young man on a watch list with a U.S. visa in his pocket and a powerful explosive hidden on his body was allowed to board a fight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

A day after saying the system worked, Napolitano said her words had been taken out of context. She said Monday on NBC's "Today" show that "our system did not work in this instance."

Napolitano said an investigation ordered by the Obama administration will look at why Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was allowed to board a U.S.-bound flight on Christmas Day despite being on a terrorist watch list.
