It was the failure of the government to put in policies for what could not be brought onboard.
We don't even know--well, 10 percent of them we don't have Social Security numbers of.
One of the biggest failures is the most recent report that we had. And the DHS, Department of Homeland Security inspector general found that 73 individuals with links to terrorism passed TSA's vetting process.
Unfortunately, even 15 years--2001, this is 2016--15 years later we still seek a system that has not complied with the laws that we have passed multiple times with the requests we've had, and we see failures.
