The system failed not because of a lack of safeguards, but because of the unwillingness of those who are charged with safeguarding us to follow basic procedures. Even by standards of probable cause, the failed Detroit Flight bomber should have been searched. He not only fit every behavioral profile, he came with a warning from [...]

As our Federal government grows, rather that making America a more close knit nation I see the opposite effect occurring. It has cultivated an attitude of every man for himself among the states, or at least among their Congressmen and Senators. We are no longer a United States of America.
