The Obama position for TSA body scan
The following article is from CNSNEWS concerning CAIR’s directing hajib-wearing Muslim women to tell TSA screeners that their religion directs that they may only be searched around the head and neck instead of a pat down.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued a travel warning to Muslim airline passengers on U.S. aircraft in response to the Transportation Safety Administration’s “enhanced pat down” policy that went into effect in late October.
CAIR said Muslims who object to full-body scans for religious reasons should know their rights if they are required to undergo a pat-down, including asking for the procedure to be done in a private place. In addition, CAIR offered a “special recommendation” for Muslim women who wear a hijab, telling them they should tell the TSA officer that they may be searched only around the head and neck.

Does this mean if I dress in a shower curtain and refuse current TSA screening due to my religious beliefs that I may also be exempt? Should CAIR’s recommendations hold, the choice for the rest of us non-Muslim folks is either get one of the nudie photos taken or a genital grope. Or not fly. I get furious just thinking about what my 74 year old mother would have to go through in order to board a plane. This whole air plane security thing has gone way too far. (Note to self in future: I’ll drive instead).
Now to top it off the people of the same religious group that attacked us on 9-11 want an exception?? Excuse me, but when did Sharia law replace the Constitutional laws of our Republic? When we start making exceptions to a law for certain groups of people we cease to be a nation of laws, PERIOD.

Flying is not a Constitutional right. If they don’t want to go through the same procedures everyone else does, then they can find some other method of travel to their destination.
Linky?
The Oceanside man is my hero. We need more people refusing this unconstitutional search.
I get a 404 error when I try to click on the source link. Did Randy hit a TSA nerve?
There should be no exemptions for one religion over another. Instead, this whole policy needs to be DROPPED.
If the TSA avoids molesting the Muslim women, the irony atounds.
We should respect their rights. They can walk wherever they want to, if that is what they believe. But if you want to get on a plane with me or my loved ones, get in the scanner.
atounds = astounds
This gives me a whole new idea for my “opt out revolution” this Thursday.
I am thinking i should demand I be treated under the same sharia law for muslim women. It should not matter that I am not a muslim nor a woman. If it is how they treat ANYONE then it is how EVERYONE should be treated.
I am serious — if I can get confirmation that muslim women get preferential treatment, I will ask for the same.
I’m a Christian woman. No one touches my body; except my husband. Can I use that to avoid a pat down?
Muzzies have fuzzies? Oh wait, hey Joe post a picture of Khaled Sheikh Mohammed! Please?
Tell them you are a Muslim.
Unconstitutional? Tell me where in the constitution you find an inalienable right to mass transit.
Sewing pattern alert!

No, wait...that was something else....

If Muslims are exempt then we can successfully repeal the porno scanners on that basis.
I’d rather have my lips fall off. ; )
