Janet 'The System Worked' Napolitano on Aviation Security at Foreign Affairs!!

Yep. Check it out, "Securing the Skies: A Global Push for Aviation Security":

Since its emergence in the waning days of World War II, the international civil aviation system has served as an engine of progress and prosperity -- both in the United States and in many nations around the world ....

But the international aviation system has its weak links, as illustrated by the attempted terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound flight on December 25, 2009.

Although that incident involved a U.S. plane flying into a U.S. city, it was an international terror plot that endangered individuals from at least 17 foreign countries. The alleged attacker, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was a Nigerian citizen educated in the United Kingdom. He received training in terrorist tactics in Yemen, purchased his ticket in Ghana, and flew from Nigeria to Amsterdam before departing for Detroit. In other words, the Christmas Day plot exploited the global aviation network -- and it underscored the reality that, despite decades of advances in screening and significant reforms following 9/11, the network still faces vulnerabilities.

Aviation security, much like other international security challenges, blurs the line between foreign and domestic. Because every airport offers a potential entry point into the global system, every nation faces the threat from gaps in aviation security throughout the world.

The international dimensions of the attempted terrorist attack on December 25 brought new urgency to the need for an international reform agenda. And over the last six months, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has worked with international partners on an unprecedented campaign to strengthen the international aviation system against the evolving threats posed by terrorism.

Kinda funny too, how most of the rest of it attempts to assuage fears of invasion of privacy. Border invasion's not that big of a deal, though, it turns out. I guess that deemphasis helps with the unprecedented "international" effort the Obama clowns are putting out to handle all those "evolving threats to terrorism." (Clue to Janet: Those evolving threats are evolving right over our Southern border as I write this, although publishing at CFA looks good for global elite consumption, yo!).
