Keep the fear alive . ;]

The TSA have caught how many terrorists?

And then there's ineptitude on an historically comic scale:

Afghan and coalition officials met multiple times with a man claiming to 
be Mullah Akthar Muhammad Mansour, one of the chief deputies to the 
Taliban's supreme leader, the one-eyed Mullah Muhammad Omar, before 
figuring out he was an impostor.

The imposter was flown multiple times from Kandahar, in southern 
Afghanistan, to Kabul by British intelligence and given "a lot" of money 
to keep coming back, officials say. Officials didn't say how much he was 
paid.

The Taliban, which denied taking part in the talks from the outset, 
quickly began gloating as word spread of the ruse. "The Americans and 
their allies are very stupid and anyone could fool them," said Taliban 
spokesman Qari Yusuf Ahmadi in a telephone interview.
