If she was detained at Customs it means they had suspicions about something she brought with her.

Years ago, Jeb Bush's wife was detained by US Customs..., turned out she failed to declare Jewelry worth THOUSANDS! She said it was just because she didn't want Jeb to find out how much she had spent (great excuse for falsifying federal forms... and lying to federal officers!) No enforcement action was taken for "some reason"..., I don't advise you to try such a stunt!

I’m offended that muzzies forced the creation of TSA fascism.

This happens every day to people in general. Are we supposed to be outraged when it happens to a muslim? Are we supposed to just assume it was BECAUSE of being muslim?

Sorry, she could have been detained for one of a hundred reasons but we’re supposed to “assume” that it was purely discrimination.

BS.

She only squeaked out a bronze medal as part of a team event, where her performance was a drag on the team results.

She was carried to burnish her credentials - she is a full time leftist activist.

She is probably lying about whatever event she is claiming.

"I personally was held at Customs for two hours just a few weeks ago.

Yeah, and my U.S. family of five was held up for an hour at the North Dakota border coming back from Saskatchewan as customs did who knows what to our car.

If something improper REALLY happened to her she would have sued by now.

Isn’t she a citizen? Was she traveling alone?

imaginary hostility towards her because of her hijab?

Yea if you show up at the border wearing a Klan outfit, a Nazi uniform, a ISIS T-shirt or a hijab I think Customs should take a second look at you. If you want to make statements with your attire don't complain about the outcome.

I and fiancé were pulled out of line and questioned/harassed because we declared sausage on that little green declaration paper.

Lesson Learned: don’t ever declare sausage.

This was the trip where I specifically went through Amsterdam so I could smoke pot in Amsterdam once in my life.

They were not interested in pot, just sausage. Had I known....

Trade the hijab for a miniskirt. Integrate.

I don’t believe this tale. Muslim women tell lies from birth. It’s their culture. We’re not supposed to knock their culture.
