Security breach

Looking for an answer to the catastrophic security breach that occurred on the Dec 25^th in the Detroit based flight, President Barak Obama asked for a detailed explanation of how the situation went out of control.

The US President asked for details that could clear the fog from the topic and also all possible ways that could be implemented to better secure the US skies from such situations in the future. He said that he is waiting for a detailed report on what actually went wrong with the security systems that gave way to this security breach.  He stated, “It’s essential we diagnose the problems quickly.” He further added, “a systemic failure has occurred” which gave way to this “catastrophic breach of security”.

A 23 year old Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab passed through all the security checks in Lagos and also Amsterdam and the metal detectors used to check all the passengers, failed to spot the weapon he was carrying. Abdulmutallab, the suspect was carrying a chemical named PETN filled in a syringe and tried to ignite it to give result to his mission. However, he was grabbed and not allowed to ignite the explosive which otherwise would have created a massive explosion mid-air killing the passengers on the Christmas Eve.

The Nigerian was allowed to fly to the United States, in-spite of the several warnings given by the suspect’s father. It is really difficult understanding on how the passenger was allowed to board the flight despite the warnings and the failed detections. Trying to figure out the loop holes in the case, the US Officials are now grilling every related person in order to learn about the failure that could have caused havoc in the States.

It is important to take the desired measures so as to prevent any similar case in the future for the security of the country and the citizens.
