Boston Marathon Bombs

     Now that we've shown the proper compassion for those killed and injured at the Boston Marathon bombings and have congratulated the police and other first responders for their quick and effective action, it is time to consider who did not do his job to avoid the catastrophe in the first place.
    The onus goes on the Director of Homeland Security.
    The webpage of the Department of Homeland Security says, "The Department of Homeland Security has a vital mission: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector. Our duties are wide-ranging, but our goal is clear - keeping America safe.". The webpage also says, "Secretary Janet Napolitano oversees the third largest Cabinet department and leads our nation's efforts to secure our country from terrorism to natural disasters."
What happened in Boston? Were Janet Napolitano and her 240,000 employees asleep at the switch? Any law enforcement officer with half an eye could see that an operation such as the Boston Marathon would be an ideal target for a terrorism event. We have technology to determine the presence of bombs before they actually detonate. Perhaps an 18 mile route is a bit difficult to inspect, but there is such a thing as spot checking. Two of the obvious spots to check would be the starting line and the finish line. If that was done, it was certainly not done effectively, and it is more likely that no one even paid any attention.
I call for the immediate resignation of Janet Napolitano.
