Great post Wayne, a real insight to security.
I found this quote to be especially on target:

We have essentially three "watch lists" that we know off, there may be more.
1. Watch list, about 500,000 people on that sucker. Can you say, "We trust no one."
2. "Selectee" list. Not sure how big this one is, but you have to be on the 500K list to get here. There's a good chance you could "fly under the radar" and not make THIS list just because the first one is monster sized. Selectee's HAVE to go through additional screening. The Christmas bomber should clearly have been AT LEAST on the selectee list. He flew under the radar, even though he WAS a blip on the screen!
3. No fly list. Not sure how big that one is either. You could certainly make a case for moving the Christmas bomber onto THIS list just with the available data we all ready had.
