Just a day after she told ABC News the "system has worked really very, very smoothly over the course of the past several days," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano flip-flopped and admitted that changes need to be made to the passenger screening system.

• "Clearly, there's some work that needs to be done to link up what we call the tie, the generic base in which his name had been entered, to those who already have visas," Napolitano said on "Good Morning America" today. "We want to go backward now and review our list processes. ... They clearly need to be adjusted. We need to look at this individual specially, and the screening technology that was deployed."
