Anybody who’s been to an airport recently would have to agree.
As I was standing in line with my shoes and belt off, all my valuables in a little tray with my carry on, waiting to be scanned, I thought, “We have Islam to thank for this.”
You think we need to scale back on the TSA? I know the lines are long, but what about the terrorists? Aren’t you worried they’ll bring bombs onboard if they don’t check?
I don’t fly anymore, but used to face away from mecca when bending over to remove and install my shoes.

Force Congressmen and Senators to stand in line with the public instead of being whisked through security. Ban them from flying on corporate jets or private charter. Suddenly they will pay more attention to the issue.
Every time I go to the airport directly in front of the terminal there is are several reserved parking spaces with signs “US Congressman”, “US Senator”, “Director of the Airport Authority”. We must return to citizen politicians instead of elitists.
My son and I recently took a train vacation... the train security is similar to what I remember of airplane security the first time I ever flew, back in 1968.
Leftists want to open the floodgates to anyone, and blame us for the violent people who take advantage of it--because, don't you know, if we just communicate with them and let them know we don't mean harm, there won't be any reason to fight. Back in the real world, though, there have always been humans who resort to violence to get what they want, and no amount of kumbaya will ever change that. So we have to close the borders and vet anyone we allow to come through.
Sure, everyone would prefer a world where everyone is peaceful and no one has to worry about people scheming to kill large numbers of other people--but that's not how the world is, and pretending otherwise won't make it that way.
Exactly right.
And when will it end?
Why does a "religion" cause all of this?
Why do we allow it too?
Maybe if Mecca and Medina were smoking holes in the ground on 9/12/01,we would not have to be doing this to get on an airplane, which used to be a normal process.
Also, notice that not one of esteemed "conservatives" or GOP leaders ever has the balls to say this and actually do something about it.
I think about a dozen times a year. I think about the 100s of billions spent on hindering the mass murder and serial killing of innocents by the religion of peace every time I fly. After spending some 500 billion, how many have we caught?
