Homeland Security deployed hi-tech spy plane which scoops up tens of thousands of phone calls at one time above San Bernardino for days after massacre
- Single engine craft flew over the California city and was ordered to make repeated circles overhead
- It was equipped with 'Dirtbox' technology which can scan tens of thousands of phones in one go to identify suspects
- The Pilatus PC-12 plane that was used - was similar to the craft deployed by the military on missions over Africa
- Map of the flight path for the plane shows numerous circles over the area around terrorist Syed Farook's home in Redlands
- The question of whether or not there were more suspects in the San Bernardino massacre has never been fully resolved

TSA what is the latest on this?
Too worried about offending the civil rights of people that aren't even citizens tbh. The deaths in San Bernardino fall squarely at your saviors feet.
"Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson resisted calls last year to allow immigration agents to review visa applicants’ social media activity because of fear of “bad public relations," according to a former agency official.
According to John Cohen, a former DHS under secretary, the failure "was primarily a question of optics", adding that "there were concerns from a privacy and civil liberties perspective that while this was not illegal, that it would be viewed negatively if it was disclosed publicly."
Seems like the safety of American citizens falls way below the sensitivities of foreign nationals. Political correctness is gonna kill us - when is this government going to put us citizens first - these people have no civil liberties, no right to be here. To refuse to review their social media activity knowing that ISIS uses social media to recruit is just insane and stupid.
Trump woulda stopped 'em!
if you rightwingnuts were REALLY "sensitive" about Americans' safety, public health, you wouldn't block any and all attempts to reduce gun violence.
The number killed and injured in San Bernardino is at noise level in the gun violence stats.
Why on earth did the Obama administration not allow immigration agents to review visa applicants' social media activity?
Obama personally signed off on the spouse, and Krazy Kreepy Kruz says Obama has banned all anti-Muslim speech.
Several 100 Americans dead and injured by guns since San Bernardino, but that's ok.
You failed to address my question. Try again.
Why on earth did the Obama administration not allow immigration agents to review visa applicants' social media activity?
You know the answer, why to do ask the question?
why did dubya and head invade Iraq, botch the occupation, lose the war, leave the Middle East destab[lized, and give rise to AQI and ISIS?
Thanks, Repugs.
Stop deflecting and answer the question.
Obviously, to sane people, there was mistake, not checking her social internet info. Her mistake was making such statements on public internet.
I'm pretty sure every time a bureaucracy makes new mistake in a new situation, they will overreact to correct it, expensively (if the Repugs don't cut their budget dramatically to punish them)
There's no way terrorism defenses can perfectly stop every new type of attack. All you can do is make best effort, which was NOT ordered in 2001 by the Repugs.
Thanks, Repugs. You've ed us all up for decades to come.
14 people died because our President wanted to placate non-citizens trying to enter our country.
She made two private messages on Facebook years before under a pseudonym. There was no way that was going to be caught by anyone doing a background check. It took a team of FBI agents scouring her past 24/7 over a week to find, and you can't do that to 10m applicants a year.
They didn't need her facebook posts...it was more obvious than that. Citizens are dying under this administration to placate non-citizens.
Blockbuster Allegation: DHS, State Halted Investigation Into Islamist Group Linked To San Bernardino Terrorists
Customs and Border Patrol analyst Phil Haney tracked members of the Islamist Deobandi movement with which Sayed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were affiliated. But the Department of Homeland Security deleted the records, then disciplined and retaliated against him when he blew the whistle, he says.
Haney said he worked in Passenger Analysis Units at the Department of Homeland Security in Atlanta and at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s National Targeting Center, where he performed research into people and groups that might be linked to terrorism. He identified members of al-Huda and Tablighi Jamaat, subgroups of the Deobandi Movement, a century-old fundamentalist Islamic group originating in Pakistan, as they traveled into and out of the United States. An association with Tablighi Jamaat has been do ented by the French in an estimated 80% of terrorism cases. Dar Al Uloom Mosque, frequented by Sayed Farook, is linked with the Deobandi Movement. Tashfeen Malik studied with Al-Huda in Pakistan.
Haney was given an agency award for his work identifying potential terrorists and he was asked to become part of the National Targeting Center, which works to connect the dots between radical figures and groups, he said. After more than six months tracking the Deobandi movement, Homeland Security halted the investigation at the urging of the State Department’s Office of Civil Rights, Haney said.
The agencies asserted that since the Islamist groups in question were not Specially Designated Terrorist Organizations, tracking individuals related to these groups was a violation of the their civil liberties, according to Haney. “The administration was more concerned about the civil rights and liberties of foreign Islamic groups with terrorist ties than the safety and security of Americans,” Haney said. He met with the DHS Inspector General in 2013, in coordination with several Members of Congress. DHS and the Justice Department then subjected him to investigations, none of which showed wrongdoing, he said. In September 2014, they sequestered him, revoked his access to the database and revoked his security clearance.
allegation!
YEAH!
A founding member of Department of Homeland Security says a database he spent years creating could have helped stop the San Bernardino terror attack, before it was destroyed by federal officials.
Phil Haney, who investigated terror groups in the wake of 9/11, claims he investigated two groups with links to terror killers Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik as far back as 2012.
If he had been allowed to continue his probe, he claims, it would have flagged the pair to the security services, and may have stopped them killing 14 people and injuring 21 in California last week.
However, he says government civil rights officials destroyed the information he collected over fears he was unfairly profiling Muslims, investigated him, and then stripped him of his security clearance.
Speaking with Fox News on Thursday night, Haney explained that in the early 2000s he had been working in a passenger analysis unit at the Department of Homeland Security in Atlanta.
As part of his job, he was expected to investigate individuals and organizations with potential links to terrorism, so security services could monitor their movements into and out of the U.S.
Haney explained that he began investigating dozens of individuals with links to a fundamentalist Pakistani group called the Deobandi Movement, and its sub-groups al-Huda and Tablighi Jamaat.
He claims the groups were using the visa waiver program to move suspected radicalized individuals in and out of the U.S. and so he began tracking them, entering their details into a DHS database.
Eventually, his efforts were picked up by the National Targeting Center, an umbrella organization within the US Customs and Border Protection, and he was asked to work for them instead - focusing specifically on Deobandi, al-Huda and Tablighi Jamaat.
Haney says that, during the course of his investigation, he was given an award for identifying more than 300 potential terrorists with links to the groups.
During the course of his probe, Haney raised a red flag over the Darul Uloom Mosque in Riverside, California, as it was one of a several mosques worldwide operating under the umbrella of Deobandi.
Syed Farook later attended the same mosque, which has now been identified in FBI investigations following the San Bernardino killings.
Meanwhile, Farook's wife was known to associate with the al-Huda group in Pakistan, which was also flagged by Haney, he claims.
Haney believes that, if his program had been allowed to continue, both Farook and Malik would 'very plausibly' have been flagged to the security services over their connections to these organizations.
He told Fox: 'Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because of his association with that mosque, and or the K-1 visa that his wife was given may have been denied because of his affiliation with a known organization.'
However, in 2012, Haney says that his team was paid a visit by the Department of State and its own Civil Liberties Civil Rights Division.
Haney says officials accused of unfairly profiling Muslims because Tablighi Jamaat, the sub-group of Deobandi, was not on a list of specially designated terrorist organizations.
Haney says he left the national center shortly afterwards and went back to Atlanta, and afterwards he found out the program he was working on had been shut down.
Not only that, but large parts of the database that he had worked for years to assemble - 67 records in total - were removed from the security service databases, he claims.
The Department of Homeland Security accused Haney of having 'several large holes' in his story this evening, but said it was prevented from saying anything else because of privacy laws.
Haney's allegations came as Representative Matt Salmon, a Republican from Arizona, accused intelligence services of 'failure' for not picking up Farook or Malik before they launched their attack on the Inland Regional Center on December 2.
In 2012 a group of suspected terror plotters were arrested in California, along with Sohiel Kabir, a terror recruiter and mastermind of the plot, located in Afghanistan.
CNN reported that two security sources confirmed Farook had links to Kabir.
According to an unnamed Reuters security source, Farook and Malik’s names likely arose during an earlier FBI investigation but didn’t raise any flags - though it is unclear if this was related to the 2012 arrests.
