Repeal the "PATRIOT" Act
9/11 panel slams government incompetence
As it turns out, we don't really need these elaborate homeland security measures to prevent terrorists from entering the country. The 9/11 commission has found that a little common sense and following standard procedure would have prevented the 9/11 hijackers from entering the country.
The Washington Post reports, " The U.S. government fumbled repeated opportunities to stop many of the men … from entering the country, missing fraudulent passports and other warning signs that should have attracted greater scrutiny … The new findings by the independent commission investigating the terrorist strikes stand in marked contrast to the contentions of many senior U.S. officials, who for more than two years have portrayed the 19 hijackers as law-abiding travelers who did little to attract government suspicion and who, in nearly all cases, entered or resided in the country legally."
