You said: Oh, right, this from the article that was the only one to report on the bra incident - So lets see, you believe your interpretation of that, you don't believe the bra or the report that the white woman was held for 8 hours without being told why, but you believe the spokeswoman when she says they needed to verify the ID via prints.
And you choose Not to believe the CBP report of possible terrorists.
BTW, I never said I didn't believe the "bra story", I felt that perhaps some of the "aggrieved" were overreacting, and needed to just sit down, shut up and deal with it. If the woman was actually held 8 hours, oh well, a lack of cooperation sometimes lengthens processe which should run smoothly (ask TSA at the airport if things would be faster if people cooperated more), and a good attitude will get you through a lot faster than a bad one.
Once again, it is obvious what was meant about beliefs, it's spelled out bu yhe statement: this group has the same basic beliefs of our enemies, whether or not they espouse the same terroristic beliefs. And it means exactly what it says nothing more, nothing less.
I am not even going to entertain your other contrarian comments, except to say that please use my entire quotes. I said "The CBP were erring on the side of caution." and that's how it should be.
The agents of our government are not the enemy, they are here to protect us from the enemy, and right now that enemy is UBL and ALL of his like-minded followers and enablers.
I'm afraid you will never get it.
"And you choose Not to believe the CBP report of possible terrorists"
Perhaps I just don't believe the DN report of a CBP report of possible terrorists, since no other report reported it.
"this group has the same basic beliefs of our enemies, whether or not they espouse the same terroristic beliefs."
Without qualifying it more, your statment could egually apply to a group of Christians and Jews.
Whatever side they were erring on , they WERE erring -
Which our CBP should NOT be doing at all.
But either these agents did not realize they were erring, or worse did not care, and went out of their way to "err", and the CBP seems to be in CYA mode.
... which was the whole damn point of this thread.
