Excellent job, Larry.

I like your idea of the “Manhattan Project” approach to assembling the best minds together to SERIOUSLY find a solution. to this problem.

And I say, to those who are “too modest” to allow themselves to be body-scanned before a flight - ”Sorry, too bad. Don’t Fly” …

The good news we face is that foreign lit al-Qaeda guys are fairly incompetent at this.

This will not last for much longer. The enemy is determined and persistent.

Time for listening is long past over, action as Mr. Johnson points out so well is required.

Teak. I agree. But it will requre a congress willing to stand up and cause a converstation that results in action. As long as we have a go-along hill then action is not required. – All they need is PR and we get left wondering how we came to this point.

The best we could hope for from Larry’s appearances today would be that the administration will ask him, and other knowledgeable freelancers in the security field, for advice – and listen.
It is not enough to listen, that has been going on for far to long, it required there action.

Larry,

Great interviews! The US should follow Israel’s example and conduct psychological profiles to screen airline passengers. This man bought a one-way ticket with $2800 in cash and no passport. This is a red flag to a novice….

Larry,

Thank-you for being DIRECT and CLEAR while you were on CNN today. I would give anything if folks like you were in charge instead of the loonies running the system.

You made the perfect point–we have been dealing with these Islamic Extremists for no less than 15 years. In my experience, the Labelle Bombing in Berlin back in 1987 and the Lockerbie Bombing were among the opening rounds of this chapter.

Please don’t forget the 1972 Olympics in Munich.

As a kid I lived in Germany–we dealt with many Islamic terrorists who were largely ignored by the USA. Our national desire to ignore all things not in the USA has come back to bite.

Thank-you Larry for telling the TRUTH.

Some people here on this site have been bothered, like with the pirate deal, when Larry gives Obama credit when credit is due. He did that tonight on Larry King and I am glad he did. Larry’s credibility level is elevated when he does not willy-nilly hate on just one party or president. The best we could hope for from Larry’s appearances today would be that the administration will ask him, and other knowledgeable freelancers in the security field, for advice – and listen.

Well done, Larry Johnson.
