When is Delta AIrlines going to start checking passports on Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit?
I had to read this twice to believe that a second Nigerian nutcase had turned up on the same flight in the same week. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/28/us/politics/w28talk.html

Actually, the Airline is only responsible to make sure that they can legally enter the US. Its the airport security in Amsterdam and Lagos (?) that would check the no-fly to US list (which he wasn't on).

I think airport security are the ones required to check all passengers and the airlines pay good money for that service. It would be wiser to check the security personal who have allowed these people aboard they may have a friend there.

They did check passports; the would-be-bomber wasn't on any no-fly list. My guess is that there are always several Nigerians on that flight, most average law abiding people, because that flight originates in Nigeria.
