Congressman Stephen Lynch revealed in a recent interview on Boston Public Radio that there are 72 people on the US terror watchlist who currently have jobs with the Department Of Homeland Security.
Congressman Stephen Lynch stated in his recent interview that he backed a recent bill to change the screening process for refugees because he and other representatives did not trust the Department Of Homeland Security to be in charge of the operation. According to Lynch, an Inspector General’s report conducted back in August showed that there were a large number of people on both the US terror watchlist and the DHS payroll.
In the interview, Lynch said, “Back in August, we did an investigation—the inspector General did—of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that.”
He also pointed out that they did a review of DHS screening in airports and found them to have a 95% failure rate.
“Then we went further and did an eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports. They had a 95 percent failure rate. We had folks—this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate. I have very low confidence based on empirical data that we’ve got on the Department of Homeland Security. I think we desperately need another set of eyeballs looking at the vetting process,” he added.
Later in the interview, Lynch suggested that the entire TSA screening process may be scrapped entirely.
“I think we have very low-paid TSA and DHS workers, I think there’s a huge turnover there, when you talk to the people at the airport who are actually working there. When Bush created this system, I think it was 700,000 employees, he basically stripped away their right to join a union. They’re trying to use low-wage employees there, I heard from a TSA employee last week who was leaving, and he said there’s just no room for advancement there, they’re just stuck. I think morale is part of it, and the whole screening process is being revisited now after the inspector general’s report,” Lynch said.
The fact that there are people working for the DHS who are on the terror watch-list is not necessarily as scary as it sounds, considering the fact that the list itself is a farce, with over a millions names of mostly innocent people, according to the ACLU. However, this does point to the gross incompetence of the agency, and highlights the facade that is ‘national security.’

What are they going to do about the 72 on the terror watch list? probably about as much as they do about Obama and that isn’t much. Congress are you awake or is the train running at full speed with no engineer?

The 72 on a watch list, from obama’s administration needs to be FIRED and the positions should be eliminated… DON”T FORGOT ABOUT THIS LAW……Islam, by law, is prohibited from US immigrationThe Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law is being ignored by the White House.Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited
