After the recent crash of the Russian airliner caused by an apparent on- board bomb, the baggage handlers in Egypt have come under suspicion since the plane blew apart in the sky: Black boxes show bomb brought down Russian jet (CNN). Former CIA Director James Woolsey recently observed, “There is a reasonably good chance” that a similar attack will occur to an American plane, because many baggage-handers “are foreign nationals who just have worker visas.” They used to be vetted, but no longer are. It’s not like jihadists like American airplanes as a target or anything. The 9/11 attacks only killed thousands in our major cities using passenger planes as a weapon. On Friday James Woolsey appeared on Fox News to discuss the terror attack. WOOLSEY: Well, I would say that it definitely can happen here, and there is a reasonably good chance that it will, in part because of the way we are now hiring airport workers. They used to be vetted, but now quite a few of them are foreign nationals who just have worker visas; they’re treated like agricultural workers. And you can do a lot more damage in the baggage- handling area of an airline than you can if you’re a terrorist than you can in the middle of a wheat field. HEMMER: That is that is quite a statement sir, based on the employees who are working on behalf of the airports and the TSA? WOOLSEY: There are 12 to 13, I don’t know about TSA but in the baggage handling areas, there are 12 to 13 airports, Phoenix Arizona Detroit and so forth around the country where a company — ISS — is hiring lots of foreign workers that are not vetted has come to be in charge of the baggage handling areas. And it’s just not a sound policy to treat workers in a really dangerous area where they could create a lot of danger is not right to treat them as if they’re agricultural workers, and that’s what the Obama administration is doing. 
An unfriendly immigrant baggage handler could easily plant a bomb on a plane.

This is news? Isn't this why we have DHS? Isn't this why we have the TSA? Isn't this why we have take off our shoes and submit to searches at airports?
I thought it was a jobs program for the mentally disabled.
