So you think DC really is protecting us?

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd seems to be having some second thoughts about the Obama Administration in light of the attempted airliner bombing December 25:

If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?

One of the most common questions I hear about Ohio independence is, how will we protect ourselves from the terrorists? Surely, an Ohio immigration division would protect us better than this, even with 275 miles of straight-line land boundaries!
