When asked today if she will insist that Muslim women wearing hijabs must go through full body pat downs before boarding planes, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano did not say yes or no, but told CNSNews.com there will be adjustments and more to come on the issue.
On the pat downs, CAIR [the Council on American-Islamic Relations] has recommended that Muslim women wearing hijabs refuse to go through the full body pat downs before boarding planes, CNSNews.com asked Napolitano at a Monday press conference. Will you insist that they do go through full body pat downs before boarding planes?
Look, we have, like I said before, we are doing what we need to do to protect the traveling public and adjustments will be made where they need to be made, Napolitano responded. With respect to that particular issue, I think there will be more to come. But, again, the goal here, you know, were not doing this just to do it. Were doing it because we need to keep powders and gels and liquids off of planes that are unauthorized just as we need to keep metals off of planes...
Napolitano responded to CNSNews.coms question at a Monday press conference held at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C., that she called to announce that the departments If You See Something, Say Something campaign was going to be placing advertisements around the Washington, D.C. area to encourage people to report what she called indicators of terrorism to law enforcement agencies.
I was thinking the same thing.
Dhimmitude is one-way.
The threat gets a pass while everyone who has given up their liberty to be fair to the threat get’s trampled on.
Ding- ding
We have a winner!!!
The reason we have security at all is because of the Islamic animals. They are the terrorists, and make up a vast majority of the hijackers. So, if they get bypassed, what is the point of having any screen at all?
All it will do is ensure that any non-Muslim is defenseless.
Her hypocrisy is so overwhelming and insulting (shocks the conscience, really), you almost might believe that you're making that up - almost.
Better dead Americans than to be accused of profiling, like El Al Airlines and those nasty, but safe and efficient Israelis.
Yea, Big Sis is as stupid and evil as she looks.
ping!
Or do what the lady on Hannity said she was going to do, that is, put a “sexual aid” in her underwear and let them scan away. I think I see a retail opportunity here: selling inexpensive Muslim dress in airport kiosks.
You are trying to get me to say something ban worthy aren't you.
In other words, they're going to fold to CAIR like a cheap hijab.
How is the TSA gong to check if someone is a Muslim? Will we have to disclose our religion on our papers? Unlike a Burka, a hijab resembles a long head scarf and could be worn by anyone. Maybe I could put a Packer logo on one and wear one.
Now that they have violated the 4th amendment, why not go ahead an violate the 14th and give special status to Muslims.
On the 24th, for opt out day, those flying should wear hijabs and claim Muslim status.
I would seriously be interested in trying this if I had a few accomplices. Here's how it could work. We all buy refundable one-way tickets to anywhere. Arrive at the airport wearing full burka and face veil including gloves. And see what happens. After passing security, we head for the restroom to remove the costume, leave the airport and then call the airline for a refund. I would seriously do this. There's no law against wearing a costume, is there?
Congress gave them the authority to investigate and bring criminal charges.
Where is there a court of Law now? This is rapidly becoming a police state and law is what the chief or tyrant or imam or whatever says it is.
Just think, one accident that disables one Supreme Court Justice and Congress is no longer relevant to much of anything.
This is evidence that our government is fearful of muslims that are in the country.
Are you fighting terrorism or just happy to see me?

I’m with you. This is just nuts.
I also think it would be funny for an “examinee” to act out Meg Ryan’s deli scene in “When Harry Met Sally.”
