#1 I always liked James Woods as an actor. Glad to hear he did the right thing.

#2 Notice how the FBI "blew" it?

That is a result their focus on CRIME not on INTEL and counter-terror.

The domestic intel and counter-terror needs to be removed from the FBI and given to a different agency. DHS might be the way to do it. Put the FAM there too. And make the Coastguard available for thier use (port security).

Get the FBI out of the business - they dont care about it, are nto set up for it, and have the wrong temperament for it - and they are jsut as resistant to change and failure prone as the CIA, if nto more so. Imagine what woudl have happned had the FBI done what a good intel agency would do with the info from James woods. Followed up on Mohammed Atta, gathering intel, instead of looking for a crime and finding none... YET.

The FBI is still dropping the ball, as shown by this incident.

#3 I'm surprised that there hasn't been an incident of a suspicously acting/looking plane passenger being beaten to death by panicked fellow passengers. It may happen yet.
