OK, are the screeners employed by Delta in Amsterdam? Or do they have their version of the TSA.
I stand in awe of the people who think what we do HERE has much of an impact on what they do there.
Can someone enlighten me about this?
I don't think so. On the other hand, the "flying Imam" trick laid the groundwork for cries of profiling and bigotry all over. I am sure more than one screener worldwide is afraid of losing their job in the face of political correctness.
Here's one report:

If that's true (and I don't know that it is), why would the idiots in charge of us do that? Because it isn't "fair" to the rest of the world? That would be the attitude of Obama and his cabinet. It isn't "fair", because we're all just "citizens of the world", don't ya know.
"Fair" is gonna get us killed. Though I must admit I don't like the idea of some airport screener scanning my privates. Kinda creepy. And there was more than enough information out there on this lowlife, long before he got on the plane.
There was a statement from a spokesperson in Amsterdam, a woman, that led me to believe that screening was done under EU regulations. She said that he was not subjected to a full body scan.
