Cost of a Chertoff (untested, uncalibrated) XRay Machine is $150,000 each

Cost of a bomb sniffing dog $8,500 each

(Update 11.29.2010 - Person pointed out today to me that yes, these costs might be accurate, but how long can a single dog work a shift? Are the true annual costs of maintaining a dog crew included here or considered? Very worth questions, worth getting answers to. Meanwhile, if this video is accurate, and the FBI are using dogs for their building entrances and NOT Chertoff's scanners, then something is rotten here... )

Homeland Security is a joke. Well, actually, they are criminals...who are violating our natural born rights every day... and WE are the joke for swallowing it.

When the xmas bomber happened last year, our own state department gave him clearance to be boarded on that plane, despite the fact that his father had called the state department to warn them about his son... rather than use this narrowly averted disaster as an excuse to usher in this new era of a police state, Janet Nap should have been FIRED and heads should have rolled.
Naaah... they now use it as THE excuse to either molest us or radiate us.

But, don't take my word for it... browse below and ask yourself: "Now, why is the leadership of these agencies, who have gone on record that they failed at their security jobs, why are THEY NOT FIRED?!"

State Department Admits: Detroit Christmas Bomber Was Deliberately Allowed to Keep US Entry Visa, Board His Flight

The Detroit Christmas bomber was deliberately and intentionally allowed to keep his US entry visa as the result of a national security override issued by an as yet unknown US intelligence or law-enforcement agency with the goal of blocking the State Department’s planned revocation of that visa. This is the result of hearings held on January 27 before the House Homeland Security Committee, and in particular of the testimony of Patrick F. Kennedy, Undersecretary of State for Management.

Would-Be Bomber Issued U.S. Entry Visa : NPR

INSKEEP: So in your judgment, did anything go wrong here?

Mr. KENNEDY: Oh, I think the president and the secretary of state have said that this was not the way the process should have worked.

Why did the State Department fail to revoke the accused terrorist's visa?

When questioned by Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Kennedy told the panel, "We will revoke the visa of any individual who is a threat to the United States, but we do take one preliminary step."

Kennedy explained, "We ask our law enforcement and intelligence community partners, 'Do you have eyes on this person and do you want us to let this person proceed under your surveillance so that you may potentially break a larger plot?'"

The Undersecretary added: "And one of the members [of the intelligence community]--and we'd be glad to give you that [information] ... in private [closed session]--said, 'Please, do not revoke this visa. We have eyes on this person. We are following this person who has the visa for the purpose of trying to roll up an entire network, not just stop one person.'"

In other words, despite multiple sourced reports from American and overseas security agencies that Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was planning to launch an attack, probably on Christmas Day, deploying an asset identified by NSA intercepts as a "Nigerian" named "Umar Farouk," high-level intelligence officials, claiming to have "eyes" on the alleged AQAP operative, a suspected suicide bomber to boot, allowed him to board an airliner packed with nearly 300 passengers and crew.

In a prepared statement to the Committee, NCTC Director Leiter said, "Let's start with this clear assertion: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab should not have stepped on that plane. The counterterrorism system failed and we told the President we are determined to do better."
