Faisal Shahzad was on Homeland Security List Since 1999 yet he was still naturalized

faisal-shahzadThis is insane! According to CBS (who is still recovering from their depression that the terrorist was a Muslim) the attempted Square bomber Faisal Shahzad has been on the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list – Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) since 1999! The reason is because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States. TECS is a major law enforcement computer system that allows its approximately 120,000 users from 20 federal agencies to share information. The database is designed to identify individuals suspected of or involved in violation of federal law.

The system has been recently called inefficient by members of Congress. In late March, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut and Susan Collins of Maine criticized the system in a letter to DHS, writing that, “Current functionality does not allow interoperability among databases, fast searching of information, modern interfaces for users of the system, or sufficient security to protect critical terrorist travel data.”
