No time to read this entire thread, but wanted to point out something in an AP article that shows me the real agenda at work here (emphasis mine):
"King, the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, said no federal air marshals were on the flights from Nigeria to Amsterdam and from Amsterdam to Detroit. Mutallab did not go through full-body image screening at either airport, the congressman said."
Anyone doubt the powers that be will use this in a push to have strip search the primary screening at every checkpoint in every airport?
