Has anyone figured out yet that this isn't about security? Once everyone gets over the initial hubbub, they will eventually accept this at airports, at which time, these procedures will extend beyond the airport to train stations, government buildings, roadblocks, etc.
This might be a good thing. When the public demands that Muslim women are treated with the same level of security as anyone else, the crap might stop.
While I would love to believe that you are right CountryGun... We have seen time and again that excuses are made for the Us vs Them dichotomy and are forced t acccept that NOT being and American Citizen or of the Judeo-Christian faiths is the only way to obtain such special treatment. The Citizens of American have a patriotic duty to accept whatever their goverment hands them....
Adam, she was a mule, the "men" who were actually co-ordinating this probably won't be bothered. http://blogs.cbn.com/stakelbeckonterror ... t-out.aspx
Not that I am standing up for this type of screening.....but where is it that Obama actually gave the pass? CAIR is getting the word out to their members to know their rights....
I have the same question psrumors has. Does anyone know of a source, other than a blog entry that claims the administration has given muslims a pass on full body pat downs? I am looking for something that specifically states that administration official (fill in the blank) has told CAIR that women in full islamic dress will only be patted around their head and neck area. All I can find is a CAIR advisory that is being reported with claims the administration made this deal with them, and no facts to support those claims.
Looks like they can't claim the religious angle. http://www.vosizneias.com/68904/2010/11 ... screening/
Only slightly reassuring. These will be the first court cases, filed by Muslims demanding Sharia law! One respondent said that children under twelve are not patted down. I don't believe the TSA set age limits on either end of the spectrum. Elderly and babies are still fair game.
Ok, so the new news today has pretty much put to bed (at least for now) any claim that muslims will be getting preferential treatment by the TSA. Personally, I am looking forward to my Vegas trip in a few weeks. I hope I pull the body imaging machine so that I can then opt out and get the "enhanced pat down". I plan on moaning and shuddering when the TSA agent does the crotch grope and then smiling and telling them thank you.
There are two other choices: 1) Ask how much extra for a 'happy ending" or 2) Go through the X-ray, but before you do, slide a 5lb salami down your pants, then just smile as you go through.
I think that the Spinal Tap bassist (Harry Shearer) used a large cucumber wrapped in aluminum foil...
AH, the elite protected "class" in America today. We'll see how long this lasts in a little over a year, you socialist scum.
I think I can safely predict that the Republicans will respond to the outrage by cutting back the intrusive searches - to just a little bit more intrusive than they were before the Demos instituted this one. IOW, another loss of freedom, applauded by all us subjects.
