If you do not spell the name right when entering it with a ticket purchase all else is meaningless. It is also in the report that a mispelling of his name led officials to not believe he had a visa.

But if you think Islam will exist in a "moderate" form or is a religion of peace, I do not see why then the majority of conflicts on the planet in Muslims.

Lucky for America in 2013, President Palin put an end to all that stupidity.

His "the buck stops here" was one of the most insincere things I've ever heard someone say. I think "Iam not a crook" and "I did not have sex with that woman" don't even compare on the insincerity chart. Obama just blew those two phrases out of the water.

If this guy's father tried to  turn him in he misspelled his name? Where is the man in the suit that vouched for him? The man, wrong name or not, didnt have a passport according to reports. Keep digging. They have people that do this for a living. If this guy’s father tried to  turn him in he misspelled his name? Where is the man in the suit that vouched for him?

So when they check the list he was not on it. IT WAS HUMAN ERROR! It will be hard to always be 100% correct, especially with these complicated names and that we are often reliant on foreign airline personal.

So far, he 's shown an ability to talk but actions speak louder than words. How long must we endure Ms Incompetano as Secy of DHS? While acknowledging a war, he still intends to mirandize unlawful combatants. I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt but, as he's so fond of saying, the time for talk is over.

More than just your normal political BS blame game. This is an issue that must not be politized. This is also a problem that took years to develop and can hardly be blamed on Obama. Blaming Obama is just political cheap shots. However, the real problem is not coming up with some kind of great passenger screening. That is easy to do. Anyone can say we need to do endless body searches and endless background checks. However, what is realistic for the given risk. I see at least three problems. 1) How much of our civil liberties do we want to give up? This is not black and white and needs a full and thoughtful discussion. And some hard decisions need to be made by Americans. 2) What will it cost to build or to put in place a super duper passenger screening system? It has to be in reason for the given risk. You cannot bankrupt the country and the airlines to do this. It has to be realistic. 3) And most importantly, we can come up with all the screen procedures we want, but given that these threats generally come from international airports, how are you going to convince all the thousands of airports and governments around the world that it is in their interest to do exactly what the U.S. wants? Many countries have a different take on the risks, on how to judge civil liberities and many frankly think this is a U.S. problem. Larry,
