1. What is the current status of
airport and aviation security in terminals and in flight? Provide example(s) of
any latest incident. Did the terminal have to shut down and flights delayed?

weak points of security in airports? Would they be at parking lots, terminals,
and tarmacs?

1. (Boston Globe, 24APR13): *A
federal audit … warned there was a “high risk” that the government’s
information-sharing system would not prevent a terror attack, raising questions
about whether a communications breakdown allowed the Boston Marathon bomb plot
to evolve undetected and its perpetrators to elude quick capture.
2. US officials disclosed that the
CIA had placed TamerlanTsarnaev on a terrorism watch list several months after
the FBI had placed him on a different watch list. Both actions were based on
separate alerts provided by Russian authorities, but they failed to help the
United States recognize and intervene to head off the threat or identify
Tsarnaev as a suspect once the bombs went off. The Commonwealth Fusion Center
is located in Maynard, Mass…. The Massachusetts State Police did not respond to
questions about whether the center was alerted to the FBI’s concerns about
Tsarnaev.
Is this information-sharing mix-up
an isolated event or could there be other instances? If so, what would be the
first step in “tightening up” Fusion Centers?

Jesse Ventura on Homeland
Security:
*“Are we ready for martial law? I
think we are, because everybody’s sitting back and watching our freedoms being
taken away. Guess what? The terrorists are winning because our country has
changed in the last decade, and not for the good. We’re a country that’s now
living in fear and so are willing to trade our freedoms for safety….”
Is Ventura just wrestling with
over exaggeration, or is there some truth to what he says?
Are we “sitting back” and allowing
the government to extract intelligence from us indiscriminately?
Please support your statements.
