Governor Palin has weighed in on the TSA lunacy via Twitter:
Law enforcemnt profiles individuals/suspects when seeking info 2 prevent or deal w/other crimes;Why can't this be done @ airports 2 prevent?
TSA: why politically incorrect 2 "profile" anyone re: natl security issues?we profile individuals/suspects in other situations! profile away

This whole "enhanced pat down" episode is, as Governor Palin correctly implies out, an example of political correctness run amuck. Because this administration refuses to use simple common sense and profile terrorists like everyone else in the world, we're reduced to frisking nuns and screaming 3-year old children so we can't be accused of profiling (the horror!). And the coup de grace? Big Sis is considering giving a "pat down exemption" to Moslem women out of fear of offending them. When I first heard about that, I was sure it was a joke. I was wrong, although I'm sure the terrorists are having a good laugh.
That this is even being considered is absurd. Count me among those who don't believe this administration has a clue as to how to protect the country which, I thought, was the primary responsibility of the federal government (as opposed to putting ourselves in unnecessary danger so that our enemies will think we're tolerant or something). I guess I was wrong on that count too. Would it be impolitic of me if I went out on a limb and predicted that if and when the next terrorist attack occurs, the perpetrator will much more closely resemble Mohammad Atta than Sally Field? Just asking.

Big Sis is considering giving a "pat down exemption" to Moslem women out of fear of offending them. That's intolerable.
Actually, it's perfect (perfectly insane that is). What great ammo for use against Obama and the Dims in 2012!

I agree with both her statement and yours.

What I’d like to know is what’s happening to muslim women now? Surely they must be going through these checkpoints. Are they being rape-scanned or groped — or neither?
To: 9YearLurker
Once again, her position is aligned with the majority in the country, but she cuts through all the blather by getting to the real point and issue, as concisely as can be. And shes the first politician to really speak forthrightly about it. Where are the other potential leaders?
As usual, Sarah is taking the lead, sticking her neck out, and will once again take the slings and arrows.
That's true leadership. And courage. She has a track record of both, in case anyone's paying attention.

What Sara says is obvious, common sense. Which, disappointingly, doesn’t seem, for others, to be very common anymore.

From yesterday:
It is a matter of our Federal Government being unwilling to properly define the enemy of the United States of America. Random searches are a violation of our Constitutional Rights. These people have done nothing to be subject to a criminal search, nor does the Federal Government have any right whatsoever to DETAIN or DENY these persons. The minute they pull you aside for a random pat-down or screening...you are being illegally detained.
We need to FORCE THEM TO DEFINE THE ENEMY. Their political correctness is now infringing on innocent civilians

There can be no exemption for jihadi women! If a regulation is to be considered valid, it must apply to ALL or NONE!
If big sis does exempt jihadi women, then this regulation has lost all validity.

Seems to me that Sarah does nothing but "call people out" these days... while having no real responsibilities herself. That's called being a backseat driver, or a cable news commentator - not the next president of the United States. I was a big Palin fan when McCain picked her, but she's done nothing but flap her gums ever since.

I’m flying home from Atlanta next week on Tuesday. No way I’m going through those scanners. Not with the Johns Hopkins research. I can refuse, right?
