TSA is becoming more and more like a totalitarian police force every day, above the law and beyond the reach of accountability for their acts. A Colorado woman, Jamelyn Steenhoek, was recently subjected to what she felt was the equivalent of a gynecological exam by TSA and filed a criminal complaint, only to have the Denver District Attorney’s Office refuse to prosecute. Cherry-picking DA’s don’t want to fight the feds.
Now comes word of an incident this past Wednesday in which an award-winning Jewish author, Phyllis Chesler was singled out for special attention by TSA agents in JFK Airport.
Chesler’s flight to Florida was delayed due to recent ice storms. While she was waiting, Chesler decided to read. Her choice of material, a conservative-leaning English language weekly called “The Jewish Press” didn’t set too well with the TSA.
One TSA agent observed the cover and came over to Chesler, asking to “see her paper,” in typical Hollywood Nazi fashion. He then showed it to another agent, and apparently determining that it was sufficient premise upon which to further investigate, had the author dump her bag. They conducted a type of interrogation as they picked through the contents.
After rifling through her belongings and failing to come up with whatever they suspected might have been hidden, she was allowed to go in peace.
Chesler noted that while she was being focused on by two TSA agents, a person, wearing a full Muslim nijab, which covered her entire face except the eyes, was allowed through security with no questions asked. No one even bothered to verify her identity or whether it was in fact a woman or what could have been hidden under the garment.

The TSA definitely has to go. There is already way too much political correctness in this country. We don’t need this.
I understand the point of the article, but Really???
Going thru her bag was the equivalent of a gynecological exam ? This is the kind of hyperbole that the Left uses.
These entire edifice of police state security imposed upon innocent Americans is proof that the Muslims won after 9-11.
The creature who was president at the time failed to even identify them as terrorists and instead referred to them as a “Peaceful Religion”. The remark of an idiot or liar.
His successor, a committed Marxist and Islamist apologist, has turned the agencies established by his predecessor against non-Muslim Americans.
The window within which Americans will continue to have the opportunity to take their country back from the mismanagement of four increasingly criminal Presidential Administrations grows smaller and smaller every day and the flame of freedom flickers lower and lower with every moment.
yet a substantial percentage of the American population is perfectly content to get on those airplanes that are rendered “safe” by the TSA.
Correct.
Islam rules the USA.
Like Congress and SCOTUS, all Moslems
are immune to the taxes, to IRS attacks,
to redistribution and penalties of ObamaCARE,
and are here even immune to TSA inspection.
Looking back, one notes that if they are Saudis
they are even given free rides out of any
atrocity against Americans they came to watch,
from the 911 Atrocities to the Boston Atrocity.
re-read the article. She never said going through her bag was like a gyn-exam.
ahh, okay.
more coffee .....
I don’t know why but the term sheep springs to mind.
Two different women.....two different disturbing incidents.
You know darn well that after work the TSA inspectors had a laugh over how they treated the Jew, and the finishing touch was letting the muslim woman with only eye balls showing pass unmolested. TSA are some real comedians.
Pour some for me. Just getting up.
“A Colorado woman, Jamelyn Steenhoek, was recently subjected to what she felt was the equivalent of a gynecological exam by TSA and filed a criminal complaint, only to have the Denver District Attorney’s Office refuse to prosecute. “
Different woman, earlier incident...not the Jewish magazine/ bag lady.
Sorry...didn’t mean to pile on...
Whats with all the badges and patches on the nijabs???????????
This is why I don’t fly unless my wife makes me.
That's not what the article says - try reading it again.
With Jewish Conservative intellectuals such as Phyllis Chesler being harassed as potential terrorists and Orthodox Jews in NYC being hit and sometimes killed in the "knockout games," Democrats are doing their utmost to terrorize those Jews who stray from the Liberal plantation.
Learn to read. The Authoress was not the one who complained of a gynecological exam.
