I feel so safe with these brainless idiots in charge.

they were wearing mohammedan garb

[Cicero]

Yes, you have to wait some time until they finally showed the parents—from the back. They are “of Middle-Eastern descent,” the reporter says. And the woman is wearing a hijab.

FWIW, there have been cases where bombs have been strapped to Muslim infants.

The story also says that this child is a frequent flyer. This time to Florida. No comment on where else, or whether her parents usually accompany her.

This actually makes a bit more sense than most of the tales about Homeland security abuses.

That's like when Ted Kennedy was on the no fly list. Keep him away from the controls and make sure that no one was in the danger zone between him and the booze cart and everyone was safe. Well, also keep him near the middle of the plane so there aren't any center of gravity issues.

You've gotta be careful of those 18 month olds...many of them have killer smiles.

Hey it has to be done, in case elderly, Amish female terrorists start disguising themselves as infants.

The TSA’s motto should be, “Idiocy Never Sleeps”

[OB1kNOb]

TSA'S objective has nothing to do with protecting Americans against acts of terrorism. It has everything to do with getting the citizenry conditioned to accept more and more intrusive governmental intimidation and control and the undermining of our quickly disappearing freedoms. More and more it appears the TSA and Homeland Security are expanding their sphere of control and influence over our daily lives. I see an eerie parallel forming between what we are going through now and the early stages of what the German people experienced as the SS and Gestapo began to grow their sphere of intimidation, fear, and control in the 30's. Folks better start waking up and realizing this before it gets beyond the point of no return.

[Lazamataz]

TSA: Totally Sucks Ass.

[Nifster]

blah blah blah. You have folks screaming rights violation because they were profiled and their daughter flagged.

Me? I thought that the gubmint told us that the war on terror is over. If so why is the TSA still around?

[markman46]

sounds like someone on the Jetblue flight had a problem with the family. not the tsa

[Tulsa Ramjet]

someone needs to explain to him that due to an unforeseen incident where 3,000 U.S. citizens were incinerated and pulverized one beautiful blue sky day, there was a tendency to look closer at persons of similar cultural and religious persuasion. if he doesn’t understand that then he can go back and live in the land of 80 year old men marrying 12 year old girls, and their women are forced to wear hot, black blankets.
