World: In Nigeria, the terror suspect got through security, no problem

  • Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab even went through a secondary check. Obviously feeling the pressure that they let through a guy who tried to blow up a plane, a senior Nigerian aviation official explained the process he went through. He didn’t check any baggage, carried a shoulder bag, went through a traditional security check, passed with flying colors, and went through a secondary check at the boarding gate. He had a multiple-visit U.S. visa, but not one to enter Britain after applying to a bogus college there. Nigeria’s airline security, BTW, successfully passed recent audits. source
