Actually, that is not how they have caught suspects. The FBI has had in its possession a master list of hundreds of people with connection to bin Laden and their whereabouts. But, those people were somehow able to get into and move about the US without questions or problems. Why have a list of potentially dangerous people, and not even prevent them from entering the country?
And, some, the US has known were here for years. They questioned local cabbies who had ties with bin Laden during the embassy bombings in Africa, and let them go free. Now how effect is it to harrass innocent people when you don't even want to keep the guilty in custody?
One of those cabbies was the guy from Chicago (I believe) who was able to obtain several duplicate liscenses without arrousing suspicion. Now really, what is the malfunction??
Its not fair to go overboard to cover up mistakes. Let's do the right thing the first time, and there won't be any questions of civil rights violations.
