Dear Secretary Napolitano,
Just because we were lucky and the terrorist's system failed, doesn't mean that our security systems worked. Just because we have to screen thousands of people world-wide every hour, and only one got through, doesn't mean the system worked. Stopping most of the terrorists is not the goal of security; we have to stop ALL of them.
We the American citizens are not fooled by your false assurances about our safety and that the system is working when it is left to the passengers to stop a terrorist from blowing us up. We've spent millions on bomb detection devices and it fails to detect a common explosive used for blowing up planes.
What we want to hear is that you are taking action to determine why a common explosive like PETN was not detected and that you are making changes. Don't tell us that the system is working when it obviously is NOT!
