Illegal Alien Bimbo Olumuyia Oyewole's case has created a firestorm and not one word from President Obama as of yet. Photo credit: PA of NY & NJ

The discovery on Monday that an illegal alien --
Nigerian national Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole --held
the position of security supervisor at an airport
from which United Flight 93 ("Let's Roll!")
departed on September 11, 2001 and crashed in a
Pennsylvania field when terrorists commandeered
the plane, has created a firestorm throughout the
nation.
One fact that needs to be addressed immediately is that background checks on airport workers and other employees assigned to sensitive areas are not as in depth as originally believed, according to several security experts who spoke with the Law Enforcement Examiner.
Sadly, since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Government Accountability Office has analyzed airport security deficiencies in a number of reports. The results of these studies, which are routinely distributed to the executive and legislative branches of government, were given scant attention by the Obama White House, the U.S. Congress, and the news media, said the Law Enforcement Examiner sources.

CDC releases "Asthma's Impact on the
Nation"
An estimated 29.1 million adults (12.7 percent) have been diagnosed with asthma in their lifetimes, and 18.7 million (8.2 percent) still had asthma, according to 2010 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report, Asthma’s Impact on the Nation, is the first state-by-state data gathered using the Asthma Call-back Survey, an in-depth survey conducted among people with asthma identified by the CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
“The information in this release is a stark reminder that asthma continues to be major public health concern with a large financial impact on families, the nation, and our health care system,” said Christopher J. Portier, Ph.D., director of CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. “A key component for adults and children is to create and follow an asthma action plan.
