I'm surprised it wasn't an 80-year-old grandmother

With a full white beard.

What's the significance of Suleman's beard, can anyone tell me that? Sheesh.

In TROP™ a beard is supposedly a symbol of piety.

Some Muslim commentators tried to make a big deal out of our medic's touching Saddam's beard during the medical exam.

No silly. It just seems that the federalized airport security and the INS usually seem more interested in humiliating 80 year old grandmothers with strip searches than stopping people known to be highly likely to perform terrorist acts. I'm surprised they actually stopped a Muslim male.
