I think the US is mostly to blame for this incident. I think the guy could potentially have gotten past security just about anywhere. The real crime is the failure of the US Dept of Homeland Security to follow up on the information that was given freely to them by the father when he visited the US Consulate in Lagos.
I'm hopeful that the backlash is limited to the responsible US agencies, but judging by the idiotic knee-jerk reactions in the way of new, moronic inflight security measures, we're all in deep doo-doo.
