I know the news is doing it's job and news is news but why would we want everyone to know about these issues. Shouldn't these things be taken care of internally? Why would the FBI release this? Isn't this just saying "Hey terrorists, you can get whatever you want on a plane here in the US", or "come use your Anthrax here, you'll kill thousands and we couldn't stop it."?

Great question, I have often thought the same thing myself..like yesterday in the news saying 19 airports were tested to see if weapons could be taken through security.
And all 19 failed!
Why not just advertise, hey terrorists, the security people at most airports are paid like $6.00 ph..and don't really give a s**it!!

The anti America media thinks it is very smart. It is much more fun reporting a terrorist attack than being obsessed with hollywood bimbos and has been foot ball players.

If this was kept a secret then what urgency would there be to fix it? By reporting this, the people who are in charge of what is wrong have an incentive to fix the problem. If they don't fix it and the problem still exists a year from now, then remove the person in charge.

It's not wise in the slightest. It's just another way of exploiting our weaknesses to known and unknown enemies.
The problem can be fixed without advertising. Fire the people in charge and let the new staff know how serious this is.

Who said the media was smart? They are definitely not on "America's side" of this war on terror. Not when one of the leading "talking heads" (Dan Blather, ex of CBS infamy) said that he would not hesitate to reveal information harmful to the U.S. if it were news.
The so-called "mainstream" media do NOT hesitate to reveal America's weaknesses to our enemies in the name of "news."
