DHS Lets Airlines Rush Security to Keep Traffic Moving—”Red Carpet” for Middle Eastern Carriers

Other CBP port inspection sources told Judicial Watch that in the academy agents are trained to take their time in order to properly complete inspection duties. They are specifically taught not be pressured by wait times for passengers or complaints from airlines. The reality is much different, federal agents say. Once they’re on the job, DHS caves into airlines’ demands for quick—and less thorough—inspections. “When you get to the port management moves away from the importance of inspections,” said one frustrated CPB inspector on the job for more than a decade. “It’s more about speed than safety.” Another longtime CPB agent confirmed that “wait times are a major problem which causes a security compromise to avoid complaints from the airlines and flyers, both international and domestic.” A high-level CPB port inspector with nearly 15 years of experience said Middle Eastern airlines get the “red carpet.”

Several thousand people missing flights due to security lines, and crews delayed making flights delayed is a huge cost to the airlines.

The purpose of airport “security” is ritual humiliation and has nothing to do with keeping you safe.

America’s response to 9/11 (and the ‘93 bombing of the WTC) is quite curious, to say the least.

Since then we send our best men to lose life and limb in iraq and Afghanistan, yet allow the muslims to gain political power and influence here at home.

Peaceable Americans are routinely subject to sexual assault and harassment at the airport in the name of ‘safety’.

muslims are a protected group, both legally and in PC terms as well.

If I’m not mistaken, there’s something quite unreasonable going on here...

Our airport security is the proof that the terrorists won.
