Appears the misspelling of a name might also have outwitted the “system”!

This is not about the “complexity” of the system. This is a very simple and straightforward issue. We have a list of high risk people. We have a credible businessman MEETING TWICE with the CIA to inform them about his SON. And yet we do not have them adding his name to this list. Some passengers have also spoken out about this incident and indicated this passenger did not just merely slide under the radar as a casual and unassuming passenger who simply did not call attention to himself, because he had some sort of passport issues at the departing airport.

This is not about complexity, this is about incompetence, and it’s getting pretty annoying hearing everyone use “complexity” as a smoke-screen. It reminds me of people talking about how the “realities and complexities” of politics are to blame for Obama not broadcasting negotiations on health care form on CSPAN. To me it is a simple issue of integrity, period. If you can’t keep a promise, don’t make it. If you can’t do your job, you should get fired, just like in the private sector.

Thanks for your comments Matthew (on both this and the “2010 Threat” post). I appreciate your taking the time to share your perspective about how the issue is more “simple and straightforward” than suggested by the post. I think the examples you provide do, in retrospect, support your claim. From what I know — and I have no special information — there are several thousand new data points added to the overall intel system everyday. The folks I speak with in the intelligence community wish it were as simple as your perspective describes.

I realize that there are priorities in how we deal with our intel and that there are other issues that can be invoulved. I just do not understand how we missed the Tell Tell signs.
