No Background Check, No Soles In Your Shoes? No Problem!

Here is the key part of this story: The let this guy....ON THE PLANE!

He's from the Middle East, he's lying about what he's carrying on board, the "entire soles of both shoes were gutted out," according to the TSA screener, he's got a battery taped to the side of a clock in his baggage, the cops can't check his identity beyond his documentation because the computers are down...and the IDIOTS AT THE TSA LET HIM ON THE PLANE!

I know he's resigning, but couldn't we still fire Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta as a matter of principle? And if you or a family member had been flying on that plane, wouldn't you want these security people keelhauled?

As Michelle Malkin points out, for far too many Americans it's still September 10th.
