After a 23-year-old Nigerian man allegedly tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day with an explosive hidden in his underwear. Obama decided to raise security measures to protect Americans. Obama announced a dozen changes to help with flight security, including new terror watch list guidelines, wider and quicker distribution of intelligence reports, stronger analysis of those reports, international partnerships and an interagency effort to develop next-generation airport screening technologies. They are also in the works of training more then 4,000 new air marshals and trying to come up with new and improved screening technology to detect explosives and other dangerous materials terrorists could try to sneak onto an airplane.
So why is he doing this now? shouldnt we have alreday up'ed the anti after 9/11? All i can say now is I feel better knowing that in the 'near future' I won't be sitting next to an al-Qaida operative trying to blow up our plane.
