A partial truth, when used to manipulate the weak minded, is the same as a lie.

If all that was required was for INS to lose track of immigrants and boxcutters be allowed on airlines then 9/11 type attacks would have happened every day for years.

Using the term "let" repeatedly is deceptive by inferring that it was contrary to normal practices.

Calling boxcutters weapons is another subtle lie to manipulate you simpletons, their primary function is as a tool and they were generally considered tools.

"It's no more complicated than that." is probably just an unintentional lie by someone who can't understand something complicated.
