Spy Agencies Failed to Collate Clues on Terror

The New York Times reports on how Spy Agencies Failed to Collate Clues on Terror "The National Security Agency four months ago intercepted conversations among leaders of Al Qaeda in Yemen discussing a plot to use a Nigerian man for a coming terrorist attack, but American spy agencies later failed to combine the intercepts with other information that might have disrupted last week’s attempted airline bombing."

So now the TSA is subpoenaing bloggers for posting their security directives and telling people they can't go to the bathroom or have anything in their lap for the last hour of a flight and now pushing for invasive body scans before boarding planes.

Apparently it easier to inconvenience hundreds of millions air travelers a year rather than get intelligence agencies to share information effectively.

But if you do travel, this is the experience you want when checking into a hotel.
