I am not much of a conspiracy theorist. I have done enough work in agencies to know how dysfunctional; they really are.
But of late the "terrorist" activities being released to us, almost look as if the release of information to us was orchestrated, I am not suggesting that the DOS's and DOD's have these big conspiracies where they orchestrate the terrorist acts. That is way to over the top for me, I could buy that some of the radical factions in the black ops programs set someone up, blah blah blah. But even I do not think we have one single elected official who would say, yeah put those American's in danger my friends need that contract. NO matter what I think of them personally, I have not met anyone that low down.
But .............
I DO think the media focus on the incidents are being manipulated to allow the Elected Ones to "Give Back" contracts, to their contributors, without any real fire and brimstone in the house or senate.
In particular, I am thinking of the Christmas Underwear Bomber, one of the C_Level Executives at one of the New Special Nudist X-Ray Machines, was on the Obama Transition Team, meaning, he also worked at a much lower level on the campaign. Until the financial backing was solidified at least, and then guess what, his co gets a big fat juicy contract.
Wanna know when? The TSA made the sourcing decision in July 2008.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced that 21 US airports will receive the new generation of advanced X-ray machines and image scanners.
The Advanced Technology X-ray (AT) and Passenger Imaging programme has seen a new generation of security equipment installed at a dozen airports.
Now, the programme is being rolled out to other major airports across the country.
The airports that will receive the new equipment over the coming months are as follows: Albuquerque, Atlanta, Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas/Fort-Worth, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York John F. Kennedy, New York LaGuardia, Newark, Puerto Rico, Phoenix, Ronald Reagan Washington National, Washington-Dulles, San Francisco, Tampa.
By next year, over 900 of the new X-ray machines and 120 passenger imaging units will be deployed.
Explosive Detection
The new X-ray machines - known as millemetre wave scanners - produce multi-view, high-definition images.
The machines are intended to improve explosive detection, which TSA Administrator Kip Hawley says "remain the greatest threat" to airport security.
Concealed weapons or packages are also more visible to the new scanners.
A TSA statement said: "The advantages of AT X-ray include a greatly enhanced image with the ability to target novel threat items resulting in fewer bag checks and faster throughput".
Hawley added: "This major step-up in technology coupled with our enhanced security training for our officers will elevate security across the board".
