(IsraelNN.com) The Obama administration has cancelled airport security restrictions on 14 terror-related countries, including American Muslim allies such as Saudi Arabia. Instead, the United States is relying on "real-time” intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks in the air.

American security officials several months ago clamped down on travelers from Cuba and 13 Muslim countries after Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab passed through security systems and tried to blow up a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit. Shortly afterwards, new regulations required travelers with passports from those 14 countries to undergo a thorough body search before boarding.

Sure, why inconvenience citizens from these worthy nations when the TSA can put the citizens of the US through security hell?

It is political correctness run amok and placating/appeasing moozies personified, but what do you expect considering that the phony, Pretender-In-Chief bows to the Saudi King, considers the US as having the most Mooslimbs than any other country and in fact, NOT a Christian Nation; could care less that Iran's I'm-a-Nut-Job has vowed to destroy Israel and appears on the verge of seriously harming our relationship with our (heretofore close) only close ally in the Mid East by imposing diktats that put Israel's safety in jeopardy while making 0 demands and turning a blind eye to the agenda of the so-called Palestinians.

Throw in the mix that his CORRUPT, far left extremist, Attorney General, is a fellow-traveling, Hate-America, terrorist supporting moonbat

Then if you consider Dear Leader's clueless puppet, Janet "Big Sis" In-competentano, has targeted Tea Party Patriots and Vets as "dangerous," shows how serious (NOT) this Fascist Admin is about protecting us and prosecuting a war against the Islamo-Fascist who wish us harm.

Mmm, mmm, mmm!

“...including American Muslim allies such as Saudi Arabia.”
Yeah, those good old boys. I’m glad we aren’t treating them as though they were a source of terrorists. After all, the only thing they have in common with terrorists is that they are muslim, spend more money than anyone on the planet to support the psycho wahhabist sect madrassas, and had a batch of their citizens fly airplanes into some of our buildings killing a few thousand folks.
Yup, great allies, those Saudis.
