Here are some things that perhaps we could have learned from the Christmas Bomber’s attempt to kill 300 people with explosives in his underpants. Which, if any, of these things do you think we may learn.
#1. To use a Google call grouping on a national section intra-net grid, which allows every articulate in a psot to be indexed, and then allows all posts in the grouping to be cross-correlated based on incoming questions, same for example, meet inputting somebodys name, or meet the articulate “nigerian”, or meet the articulate “visa”
#2. That systems which have the capacity to get slack, become much more likely to get slack at major holidays same Christmas Eve, and that Al Qaida is so smart that they have figured that out, and are fully able to plan their attacks for our most vulnerable moments.
#3 That we need to start tracking possibleness America haters long before they do anything wrong. We need to have a list of possibleness enemies of the USA based on behavioral factors. This list would not be an accusation, or an indictment. It would meet be variety of same a radar reflector tag, so if one of these people shows up at any section related event (like a flight), at least we undergo a bit most that person’s background.
#4 With shoe bomber and the underpants bomber both failing for lack of a proper detonator, it’s likely that Al Qaida now knows that most high explosives do require a blasting cap to set them off. Electronic blasting caps can be radio controlled. Al Qaida does undergo that, they don’t have to rely on Lonely Answers Club to learn it.
#5 The next aircraft bomber is probably going to carry the bomb tucked in to their intestines. Properly shaped and placed 3 oz of semtex would be very hard to see on a full body scanner. Al Qaida has such a scanner, so they could make sure the HE was invisible. Radio dominated detonators can be made of lightweight plastics and installed with the HE. 3 oz of semtex would blow a 747 out of the sky. Suicide bombers are there to die, so having the bomb inside their intestines is not a problem for them. For us it could be if we haven’t done any behavioral profiling and we have no idea who our enemies are likely to be (like the guys at the CIA camp had zero clue most who was their friend and who was their enemy).
#6 John Brennan has not tendered his resignation, or if he has Barack Obama has not accepted it. Both men are talking most general diffuse systems failures. Obama now says that all leads should be run downbound by some person who will be held accountable for doing so. streaming downbound leads compounded with an intranet Google call database of indexed notes would be a coercive way to encounter needles in haystacks. Somebody is swing queries in to a grouping that is designed to correlate previously unconnected accumulation based on incoming queries. So dots get connected. The machine does it. It does the “analysis”. advance chaser meet puts in the well-written queries. By the way Admiral Poindexter was fired from bureau and the CIA for suggesting meet this variety of accumulation defence in real-time approach. Maybe the polity owes his an apology.
You may feel that we won’t learn any of these things. Or maybe meet one or two. If null on my list seems worthy to you, let me undergo your list. If you same some of my things, let me undergo what you like.
Thank you so much.
Answers to Lou and to Pooh Bear
To Lou: It’s true that 95% of the terrorists in the past 10 years have been Moslems. Any rational logical person would note the relatively high correlation between Moslem and Terrorist as compared to say Buddhist and Terrorist. presented such a correlation anyone not drunk on semipolitical quality Kool-Aid would factor that is to perimeter defense processes. We are Totally Drunk on semipolitical Correctness, and we love it more than life itself. This could be fixed with more intelligent ethical awareness and an ethics of domain (rather than metphysical status to a cloudy ideal).
To Pooh Bear:
Things go slack on holidays — that’s a fact jack.
on the detonator you refuted yourself, thanks.
3 oz semtex would blow a 747 to smithereens. You are clueless.
No the high exploding in the underpants was not detonated, only mixed. The mixing caused the fire. You’re not a frogman, I can tell.
Rolling heads — finally we agree on one point – OK
