Posted by The government at its finest. At least they are keeping that dangerous 8-year old from blowing up stuff – whew terror threat diverted. Best part is that Mikey there is a decorated CUB SCOUT – of course everyone knows the Cub Scouts are a paramilitary organization bent on world domination through popcorn sales.
I have a dear friend who has the same name as a notorious criminal in Texas. The feds call him all the time and question him about his doings – funny part being my friend is retired military special forces – you’d think they might know that.
Massive fail government.
Hmmmm… I’d probably forgive the first error based on a similar name. I might even be open-minded enough to forgive a second alarm. But this has been ongoing since the lil’ dude was 2…. he is now 8. At what point does the system illustrate a robustness necessary for learning? Where are evidence of heuristics being employed? A security system must reflect the dynamic/fluid nature of its targets. A rigid system shows something counter to what success is in this realm.
The higher levels of government include the power-mad and the sociopathic. The remaining levels include the unambitious and the incompetent. I say we need to privatize much of our national (homeland) security related to air travel — where competence in human and artifical intelligence is linked to renumeration.
Age 2 was when they started patting the poor kid down, his mother said he has been on the list since infancy. Poor kid.
Supposedly they are going to add in birth dates, etc… That should have been done in the first place!
