Instead, the $34,500 raised by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation went to law enforcement agencies, including the Metro Police Department, which some say failed to fully investigate Perry s tip about the bomber from 2019.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â She tried to stop it. Pam Perry warned Metro Police about the Christmas Day bomber more than a year before the bombing downtown.
After her tip in August of 2019, police went to Anthony Warner s house and saw the RV but never talked to Warner. The Metro Police Department said officers did all they could, but on Christmas morning Pam Perry s worst fear came true.
a clearance for someone who used to be in the agency. it d go to court, and the federal judge would have to decide whether the president abused their powers. they haven t thought this through. sentator langford was just talking about this, and he has a different opinion. he actually doesn t see a problem with this. i want to play you a little bit of his explanation. do you have a problem revoking some of this? you re out of the administration. i don t. you re out of the administration. there is no reason for you to get access to classified documents anymore. does that argument, john, to you, hold water? not at all. when i did that study of the so-called christmas bomber, i spent six months with the most sensitive information we had. we made a series of recommendations and a 90-page report, which was adopted and, i think, contributed, modesty, i d say, to protecting the country. which, presumably, the government found useful. absolutely. i ve been on other panels like th
out there. they re looking to strike us. let s talk about explosives getting on planes. anybody who flies knows how our lives have changed in that sense since 9/11. and yet i think if you ask people on line, they would say to you, if this is what we need to do, if it takes me an extra ten minutes or 20 minutes i m willing to do it. how do you think, though, we ve done in terms of striking that balance between protecting the lives of the citizens, and, frankly, just convenience and money? well, i think we ve done pretty well. but not well enough, you know, adequate is inadequate in this case. i used explosives as an example, because while we re better at being able to detect people who want to get on a plane with explosives and somewhat better with cargo, cargo coming into the country, cargo coming on planes, we re not near as good with that as evidenced by the so-called christmas bomber. you remember he boarded the plain in nigeria and almost got to detroit with explosives. got thr
al airlines. they re able to assess if a passenger is a threat if they fit into a particular profile. that s what we need to do, we need to have some common sense profiling here, in the united states, use some of the techniques we see other airlines use like el al. what we have done, the government has gone to the most invasive right off the bat. and they are trampling the fourth amendment rights of american citizens. it is very interesting, you mentioned the detroit christmas bomber, and actually everybody should go check out the testimony given before the house homeland security committee back in january of 2009. they actually hauled in a guy from the state department and said why did you let this detroit christmas bomber come into the country? and he said, we actually flagged him to not let him in, yet we were overridden by intelligence agencies of the united states government stating we want to know who he s working with, let him go through.
