I fly fairly frequently for work.
I recently had the pleasure of not being scanned or pulled aside for a friendlier session in two major cities. Others around me were not so lucky. Blonde females between 18 and 22 seemed to be the likely candidates for further scrutiny - and a few elderly, Caucasian grandmothers.
If the US is stilll on the "Arabs/Muslims are TeRrOrIsTs" kick, why are they searching non-arabs/non-Muslims: attractive young female college students, middle age white guys with pot bellies and grannies?
The other thing that bothers me is the broken English of many of the TSA workers. There were a few Arabs working my line and I wondered how long they had had their green card and what exactly their qualifications were for searching me, a US born citizen. Who can feel safer when guys named Mohamed are the ones checking their bags? It's like they hired a bunch of NYC Cabbies to guard us from shampoo explosives.
I made it through, had a surprisingly tasty omelette to order and then saw this: Yes, that's a burka, yes that's a real TSA agent, (I saw her badge when I passed her and made a U-turn to snap a pic)
They're not just stripping us of our freedoms, they're rubbing our noses in it along the way.
What a world; wake up, America!
Yep, I have seen such craziness myself..aw Jeeeeeeez
saw one in DFW by baggage claim myself a few weeks back.....just had to laugh.
Betcha that burka filth wouldn’t try to stop a muslim terrorist.
Nothing like having the coyotes minding the henhouse.
Is she allowed to “touch junk”?
What airport?
Shortly after 9/11, my mother, 88 years old, and I were about to board our connecting flight at Washington’s Dulles airport. At the gate, she was selected to undergo a further pat down and was forced to remove her shoes so the TSA agent could inspect them. (We never left the “secure” areas from our last flight!)
It was obvious he was from the Middle East. I asked him. In his strong accent, he smiled and said, “I’m from Pakistan.”
Poor mom had a difficult time putting her shoes back on...they were swollen from our previous flight.
Ridiculous rules we have!
If having her there in her burka means they can search Muslim women without getting sued, then I say good!
Oh, I want to see her search a muzzie male! Now that will be a kodak moment.
In fact, I observed that very few Americans seem to work at Dulles at all. They're all either Asian or Arab...at the restaurants, newsstands, shops...you name it.
And politeness certainly does not seem to be a requirement to work at that airport.
Dig the American flag in the background.
We need to all stop flying if at all possible. Shut down the damned airlines.
As the British admiral said after watching two of his battleships collide while executing a fleet maneuver: “Good . . . God!”
After this statement, I could not take anything else the author said even remotely seriously.
According to one muzzie cleric, I think she would have to nurse you first, and then it would be acceptable for her to touch your junk.
She’d have to “temporarily marry” you. Then she could do all kinds of things to you.
Old white ladies being searched for explosives by a terrorist...The asylum is being run by the inmates...
