HOMELAND SECURITY FUMBLES THE BALL BIG TIME ON NORTHWEST FLIGHT

As questions continue to be asked concerning the multiple red flags that government officials overlooked preceding Nigerian terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallub's flight to Detroit, the most damning piece of evidence emerged on Thursday. According to sources within the Department of Homeland Security, Abdulmutallub told a custodian in a restroom at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam that he planned to blow up the Northwest aircraft he was boarding on Christmas day. Immediately after leaving the restroom, the custodian called Homeland Security, and was told that he would need to provide them with the flight number before they could pursue the matter. The custodian promised to call back during his break with the requested information, but forgot.
