Matt Lauer to Janet Napolitano ... WTF are you talking about?

Today Show host Matt Lauer just had to ask to obvious question to Janet Napolitano ... WTF are you talking about when you said "the system worked"?

What we are focused on is making sure that the air environment remains safe, that people are confident when they travel. And one thing I’d like to point out is that the system worked. Everybody played an important role here. The passengers and crew of the flight took appropriate action.

Ms. Napolitano naturally had to come up with the ol' "taken out of context" defense and clarify her remark that she was talking about the system working AFTER the terrorist attempt, not before. Well gee Ms. Napolitano, what good is your system then if it only works after a terrorist attack and not before?

By the way Matt, here's the answer to your second question.
