"Under Clinton,In 2000 Millinium a terrorist plot was prevneted that was going to occur at LA airport from terrorist stopped at the U.s. Canadian border."
The Clinton administration did nothing to prevent that attack. Ressam was caught by alert custom agents who noticed he was acting suspiciously. Richard Clarke in his book suggests that Ressam was caught because he sent out message to police departments that read, "Be on heightened alert for suspicious activity." However, according to Michael Chapman, one of the customs agents who arrested Ressam, "We were on no more alert than we’re always on. That is a matter of public record."
