The way I see it if Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab had stayed in Nigeria or if he’d been stopped by the people in charge of the so-called U.S. “No Fly” list, there may not have been an attempt, a very pitiful attempt to blow up a plane en route to Detroit, Michigan on Christmas Day.
If that non-event had not taken place–after all no one was seriously injured, nonetheless the American flying public is afraid because of what did not happen; then we would not have heard Senator Lautenberg of New Jersey complain about the weak punishment for Haisong Jiang, 28, of Piscataway, NJ who “breached” a lame security area at Newark Airport. Haisong Jiang, a graduate student at Rutgers University, only wanted to kiss his beloved good-bye as she was on her way to California after a holiday visit with him. We wish him success in defending himself against the charge. We hope his community will provide the best legal mind available to insure his bright future.
Too bad the TSA and the airport security video recording system did not capture the man’s infraction. It was only after a person who witnessed the breach reported it to a TSA security person Ruben Hernandez of Newark, NJ that the airport officials found their video system was streaming live pictures only. They had to hope they could retrieve pictures from another source.
And for reporting the alleged breach, now called defiant trespass, Ruben Hernandez, a TSA employee for the past two and a half years, who received a commendation for his performance of his duties and responsibilities is rewarded by being made the scapegoat for this episode of “Illusion Of Security”. We like this term better than the “Security Theater” because theater is entertaining. Illusion is deceptive. We believe the whole Transportation Security Administration is another example of the government’s successful “Illusion Of Security” plan.
If Ruben Hernandez, a man considered to be a good and reliable TSA employee, had not responded to being called away from his post, upper management TSA officials say it’s likely Haisong Jian would not have successfully been able to bid his love farewell in the designated restricted” area of the terminal.
We believe in personal responsibility. We believe in accountability. That is why we say if the Transportation Security Administration under the control of the Homeland Security Department had been more vigilant and cooperative with the Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) neither Haisong Jiang, 28, of Piscataway, NJ, nor Ruben Hernandez of Newark, NJ and Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab of Nigeria would probably been associated in this way.
