Sadly, the Drudgereport “hits it on the nail”.

“The Terrorists Have Won”.

Despite one man’s personal objections to being screened because it is invasive to his privacy, the Transportation Security Administration has come out on Monday to state that while it tries to be as sensitive to individuals, it made its case once again that anyone who is taking a plane flight, must be screened.

John Tyner, from San Diego, who was going to South Dakota on a hunting trip had explained to CNN in an interview said he had refused to go through an x-ray scan.

From CNN website:Tyner told CNN on Sunday that he was surprised to see so many people take an interest in his refusal and the dispute with airport screeners that followed it. But he said he hoped the video will focus attention on what he calls a government invasion of privacy.

Exactly! The Muslims accomplished an objective, to make Westerners bend over. Terror is doing its job.

Meanwhile, Muslims will get their women exempted from the airport security.

Ways to jack with the system...
1) go to your local porn shop and purchase a “long dong” and affix it to yourself.
2) Affix metalic string to your chest or back to spell out “hey you... eat me” or
3) Affix metalic string in the shape of an arrow pointing to your “junk” and spell out a choice remark.
4) Wear a nut cup.
5) If you’re a white guy, acquire muslim garb, grow a beard and carry a koran... likely get waved on through.
6) If your a white girl, wear a burqa, again you’ll likely get waved through.

Now you come up with something...

To paraphrase another famous quote:

“We have seen the terrorists in the airports, and they are us.” (ie the TSA)

[peeps36]

Maybe if the Feds put this much effort into securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws they wouldn't look like such hypocrites. I won't fly ever again if this policy stays in place.

They won the moment Obama got elected.

Yet as the picture of the nun being grouped shows, you get “crickets” chirping when it comes to nuns being searched in traditional habits. What is wrong here, in that we have a double standard at work.

[Strider2]

So, if we exempt people wearing habits (I didn't say nun, because the only real evidence they are nuns is their, uh, habit) from being patted down & "conservative moslem women" wearing burkas, what is to deter me or Mohammed al’gotcha from wearing a habit or burka so WE won't be searched?

[GingisK]

I said exactly the same thing just a few days after 911. Drudge is smart, but slow.

[Biggirl]

Yep, this goes back to the issue of securing our borders. Grade the Feds a grade of “F” in this respect.

I didn’t realize at first but it looks like the TSA agent groping the nun is a Muslim.

Do they use Muslim screeners in Tel Aviv?

A free society has its risks. A free people should be willing to take those risks for freedom.

The TSA, if they get away with this, will be the platform for the loss of all our rights.

Furthermore, their method will fail for certain.

Remember that crime still occurs in prisons.
