Spotty Enforcement for New US Air Screening Rules. . . .

According to Erin McClam at myway.com:

On the first day of what was supposed to be tighter screening ordered by the U.S. for airline passengers from certain countries, some airports around the world conceded Monday they had not cracked down.

The United States demanded more careful screening for people who are citizens of, or are flying from, 14 nations deemed security risks. But enforcement of the U.S. rules appeared spotty.

"Everything is the same. There is no extra security," said an aviation official in Lebanon, one of the countries on the list. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

The Obama administration ordered the changes after what authorities say was a failed attempt by a Nigerian man to blow up a jetliner bound from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. . . .

. . . .Among the 14 nations are four - Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria - that the U.S. government considers state sponsors of terrorism. The list also includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.

The Obama administration needs to grow some kahoonies and immediately investigate this. If it is found to be true they need to demand these airports make the necessary security changes or they can no longer have flights to the United States.

Stop the $$$$ flowing into these countries and this type of bullsh*t will stop. . . .
