It Could Have Been Stopped at the Ticket Counter!

So now there are new and stringent security processes in place so it will be safer to fly. HA!!! Ridiculous techniques. No going potty, no blanky, hands on your laps. Doesn't it sound just like creepy public school. I feel the same way I did after 9-11. And that is the cliche "closing the barn door after the cows have fled." We must take the stylus from your PDA because you're going to hijack the plan and fly it into a building if we don't.
Lets go back in time to the ticket counter. Mr. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab wants to buy a one way ticket with cash. It could have been stopped there. His own father called the American Embassy in Nigeria to say his son was dangerous and should be put on the no fly list. It could have been stopped then. An older, well-dressed Indian man states to the person at the ticket counter that this young man doesn't have a passport and wants to buy his ticket for him. It could have been stopped then.
Why isn't anyone addressing this issue instead of harassing nonviolent, innocent passengers who just want to get from one place to another without destroying the infidels? It could have been stopped right there at the ticket counter.
He never would have gotten on the plane in the first place. Why are the feds and the expensive government program that treats us like bad children and prisoners all at the same time not just going straight to the ticket counter and gosh darn it, profiling the people who are getting on planes. The cute family flying to Disneyworld is not a danger. The blond, 25 year old young woman should not be harrassed. Even the very white business man traveling alone should not be harassed. We need sharp suspicious people at the ticket counter eyeing the very ripe suspects right there. Hello, ticket seller if a person has no passport, a one way ticket, cash, on a least one suspect list...isn't that who is a danger? Why aren't the people behind the counter being told to be completely suspicious. And whatever the TSA is putting into place, it will never find something in someone's crotch with a complete pat down. Here is one time I am in utter agreement with the ACLU.
