Airline Security

I am sure we all wanted to believe we were somewhat safer on flights since 911 and the new security measures were implemented. How many times were you patted down, asked to step aside and be further screened, lost a small bottle of mouthwash? You were led to believe this made us safer. Now the TSA cannot deny they have not been doing their job properly. Yes they caught the grandmas, hurried parents and busy travelers but they failed to stop a wannabe terrorist from attempting to blow up a plane. Even after being warned by the parent of the suspect and having him on a "watch list." I want to know who didn't do their job. Not because I want to assign blame. We need to know where the breakdown occurred so it can be corrected.

I believe the blame can be placed on a few people who just didn't do their job the way they knew it should be done. Anyone who was aware of the warning sent by the father or was instructed to put him on the watch list SHOULD have followed up. We need to raise everyone's awareness to the level which people realize they can make a difference in the outcome. By not thinking they made any difference or what they do made no difference, regular employees just past the info on to the next person and assumed they would DO THE RIGHT THING!!! We all should be doing the right thing.
