US & British Embassys were closed in Yemen due to threat. US reopened after 2 militants killed.I'm not sure if I am thinking about the same incident but I think I am. Am I right in believing that British and US Embassy's in that country have been closed due to the fear of a terrorist attack on them?
What I find amusing and scary is this.
Somalia is the biggest and most backward crap hole in the world...yet they catch this guy. Lagos and Amsterdam miss the one that trys to take out the Detriot flight.WTF over?
...while TSA can strip search an 85 year old great grandmother in public, thinking her breasts *might* hold a bomb (Chicago a few years back)....What I find amusing and scary is this.

TSA needs to be rebuilt as a true FLEA instead of a bunch of glorified security guards. The security theater they preform needs to be ratcheted back and manpower focused on IDing and screening potential threats instead of random people so as not to violate PC.
Without violating OPSEC for what little I know (I've had some very rudimentry briefings for my civvie job) TSA Screeners are not a tier asset in the game. How they designate people for extra screening is not the same across all airports it's left to their supervisors as to how the numbers are produced....just sayin, unless an agency above them says screen Joe Schmoo its arbitrary.
Kinda like extra checks on members of Congress, like they are a real threat to bomb a plane. Or the story that someone tried to confinscate Joe Foss's MOH because it might be a throwing star.dam, man you should be in charge of something
from what I know with my current security clearance, the TSA screeners are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine, the need to either do their job better or be replaced. the Rules the follow need to be rewritten from page one, and common sense really needs to be used, (common sense: the 1 yr old sucking a bottle is NOT a terrorist threat, the 25 yr old with a bomb strapped to his chest is)
At the beginning TSA was supposed to recruit high caliber people with the right LE and Military backgrounds they found out that would cost too much.
They do have some good training for certain elements instructed by guys who were tier assests in a former life..but it is not across the board.
