NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Federal officials intend to increase security for international flights to the U.S. starting Monday, increasing gate pat-downs and bag searches in response to the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight over the Christmas holiday.
The "enhanced" security measures will be particularly acute for passengers traveling from nations deemed by the U.S. as "state sponsors of terrorism" or "other countries of interest," the Transportation Security Administration said in its latest release.
Those other countries include some that Washington considers its allies against Islamist extremism, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, according to media reports. It also includes the four nations the U.S. has formally designated sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria.
This makes perfect sense and should have been done years ago.
The Obama Administration gets one right.

Just as I predicted....Failure was used as evidence that the failures needed more power to hassle the innocent.

Translation: The Christmas Bomber was successful. While our foreign policy will not change and we can expect more attacks, they have successfully interrupted the American system, spread fear, and won a victory in the psychological war against the American populace.
Everything after the "yup" is irrelevant, since the criteria for who gets hassled can, and probably will, be changed at the drop of a hat.Yep...but at least in this case they are harassing non-Americans for a change. A step in the right direction.Just as I predicted....Failure was used as evidence that the failures needed more power to hassle the innocent.
