It has been widely reported that an unnamed foreign government (Russia,
I'm guessing) warned the US that the older bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
was a radical and a threat.

The FBI interviewed Tsarnaev, and decided he was nothing to worry about.
AFTER that, Tsarnaev traveled to the Chechnya region where he stayed for
six months. When he returned, he was suddenly posting al-qaeda and
Chechnyan terrorist fanboy video(s) on youtube. The FBI never noticed.

How does all this go unnoticed? How does it justifiably go unnoticed
when they are wasting millions of man hours frisking American grannies
at the airport, and confiscating toothpaste and nail clippers from
American businessmen?

To me this illustrates an almost farcical misallocation of resources --
not to mention the absurd paranoia of ordinary Americans who think Big
Brother is taking notes every time they wipe their ass. They aren't
watching much of ANYTHING, let alone you, and therein lies the problem.
They are engaging in a multi-billion dollar high profile public
relations scheme that they know is pretty much useless, just to make
people feel safe (albeit angry and inconvenienced at the same time).

Obama needs to get his guys to start REALLY checking out people like
Tsarnaev, and risky.

Then why can't they just SAY Russia?

By the way, Russia is a radical and a threat.

Says the guy who supports the 7 country drone bombing goat herder murder
campaign. How much did all that bombing help us here?

Recognizing that the NSA is storing trillions of electronic communications
is paranoia? You're right that most people, including terrorists aren't
being watched - but you can be damn sure the average occupy wall street
organizer is.

Morons like BillB can't conceive of Dear Leader Obama using a few
terrorist attacks to turn America into a police state for the purpose of
having dictatorial influence over the average American and that "fighting"
terrorism is just a sham front.

Actually, they did.

I'm sure you'll be relieved to know that in reality, the FBI did its job proper. Ever since it was known the original FBI director, Hoover, investigated and kept track of anybody he wanted; the congress, (potential Hoover blackmail victims) limited just what the FBI could investigate and how deeply.

The FBI (and virtually any police investigating agency) must have probable cause (PC) for each additional step (depth) of its investigation. At a local level (mine) when I stopped a car, I could not search it without PC. If I smelled marijuana, I could then search the auto for such. Yet I could not search his wallet. The various limits and controls were followed by the FBI in the case of this kid. And pressure from the American public to "Limit the Police" leaves only the public itself to blame or champion.

We succeeded in getting rule changes on Wall Street. Now it's the Republicans crying about 'restrictions and regulations,' preventing them from "Doing American's work." (Take unnecessary risks, knowing the taxpayer will bail them out).

"I am a racist. I hate niggers and spics and slants. I was born here. We are not Africans. They stand on the corner and they can't speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk: These knuckleheads say, Why you ain't, Where you is, What he drive, Where he stay, Where he work, Who you be... These lower economic people are not holding up their end. These People put their clothes on backward, their hats on backward, pants down around the crack.

Let's set aside Jerry's bedtime story and look at what actually happened.
The FBI interviewed the father and told him, "We're watching everything
your family does. We read your e-mail and watch everything you do on the
internet." The father said, "Good. They're doing their job." He got the
second part wrong. If someone was contemplating doing something illegal
they would think, "Thanks for the warning."

Does anyone think that the FBI and the 1984 crew don't benefit from actual
terrorist attacks?

It's another way for you do dodge facts. But it is, as I, and the FBI, said.

They were violently evicted by a federally organized police state
operation.
