Since the infamous Christmas Day "Firecrotch" bombing attempt, the best critical analysis of the situation I've found has been from British newspapers.
I linked one article a few days ago. Here's another that is just as good:

Why is it I have to surf to websites that end in .co.uk to find a paper willing to point out the obvious and criticize our current Presidential administration?
American media isn't even TRYING to be impartial anymore. You couldn't buy a paper that didn't hate on George Bush a year ago, and now you can't buy one that will say anything negative about Obama.
Thank God for the Internet. If this is the path "traditional" media has chosen, then it deserves to die. I used to lament the decline of our daily newspapers, but now I'm not so sure we're really losing anything anymore.

While We Enjoy The Warmth Of Our Living Rooms...
Chances are, most of you reading this are doing so from the comfort of your homes, possibly while enjoying holiday leftovers and a full day of football (at least, that's what I'm doing).
On Christmas Eve I received an e-mail from my brother. He's overseas, serving in our armed forces, and making a difference in more ways than you can imagine. For his own security, I won't disclose the contents of the e-mail until he returns home, but I would like to remind everyone that there are men in very cold and uncomfortable places this holiday season, whose lives are at risk daily as they wage a war that is as necessary as it is unpopular.

Way to Fail, Homeland Security
So, tell me again why we have invasive airport security and have to take our shoes off before we can board a plane?

This guy hid the bomb in his underpants.
I'm sure the government will respond by making us all fly in hospital gowns now.
Or, we could be like the Israeli's - use all manner of terrorist profiling for passengers (yes, gasp!, this includes racial profiling), arm the pilots, and stop with the bleeding heart criminal rights garbage that rewards the unlawful and punishes the innocent.
Oh, and the Department of Homeland Security could actually, you know, do its job.
From the article above:
You read that right. The terrorist's own father warned us about this nutjob SIX MONTHS AGO, and he was still allowed to board a plane to the USA.
Janet Napolitano, the inept director of Homeland Security, who thinks we should spend more time persecuting "right wing extremists" (read: white male war veterans), and who's legacy as Governor of Arizona includes a budget deficit of historic proportions and those photo radar cameras we all LOVE, should be fired immediately.
Sadly, the Obama administration is too busy trying to socialize medicine in this country to pay any attention to the ongoing threat of terrorism.

From the article above:
"Dr Mutallab said he was planning to meet with police in Nigeria last night after realising his son had joined the notorious roster of al-Qa'ida terrorists, and is said to have warned the US authorities about his son's extreme views six months ago."
