WASHINGTON (AP) — One of three college students arrested Wednesday in the Boston Marathon bombings case was allowed to return to the United States from Kazakhstan in January despite not having a valid student visa, a federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
Authorities charged the student — a friend and classmate of one of the men accused of setting off the deadly explosions — with helping after the attacks to remove a laptop and backpack from the bombing suspect's dormitory room before the FBI searched it.
The government acknowledged that U.S. Customs and Border Protection was unaware that the student was no longer in school when he was let back into the United States.

Paging Mr. Schumer....paging Mr. Chucky "Border-Enforcement-Second" Schumer....
This is exposing the fact that what we have is most properly termed "security theater." All of the billions upon billions of dollars spent on DHS, TSA, et al does very little to stop or apprehend any actual threats that appear within the nation or at our "borders." No, comrades, we have been paying for these rouge agencies to terrorize our fellow citizens, sow fear and discontent, and condition our populace as a whole to learn how to operate passively within an ever tightening control grid (also referred to as a police state). That's the unvarnished truth about what has been going on for the past decade or so.

HERETIC!
Orthodoxy SUCKS.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson

I used to have the most respect for our protection agencies but now I'm beginning to think all of them are imcompetent. Even our secret service is a scandal. What happened to the brave men and women that used to run these agencies?

Is anyone actually "aware" of anything?
