It came out this morning that the would-be suicide bomber of the Delta flight bought a one-way ticket with cash and then boarded the flight without his passport. He also checked no luggage. By my count this guy violated four "tells" for terrorists that we have all heard the warnings about yet the security people didn't see anything amiss.Great. He was also on a list with 499,000 other possible bad guys but now the government spinmeisters are saying it's "too hard" to cross match one name against this database. Mark Steyn said this morning that if Amazon can pop up personalized recommendations for him even though he may not have logged on in 6 years, why can't the airline security computers do the same for someone breaking every supposed rule in the terrorist book? Good question. Maybe we should put Amazon in charge of airport security.
