We are a nation of cowards. They have won.
Oh dear lord...
Tolerance my ass. Diversity my ass. This is all just sheer cowardice. We have become so afraid of offending one another that we are opening our society to true dangers.
Although this is mainly a shot at the TSA, who seem to hire High school drop outs and then entrust all Air Passenger safety to them, it’s an excellent condemnation of the P.C. madness that our society has descended into.
Preference to be dead, but not offend anyone.
>>>We are a nation of cowards. They have won.<<<
Maybe where you are. I think the rest of us aren’t so willing to go peacefully into that dark night known as dhimmitude.
[... evidently they’d rather be blown up than exhibit
any behaviour that might be construed as intolerant...]
We’re DOOMED!!! ... er ... I mean, we’re BOOMED!!!
We will be destroyed in the name of Political Correctness!
TSA agents, normally so rude, are polite to a woman in a burka...
Nah, not worth it. I’ll keep my miniskirt, boots, and blouse, and take the rudeness from airport security.
A mentally-challenged 12 year old could sneak a nuclear weapon into this country. Don’t be surprised when one or more cities are turned to ash and smoke in the next few years. It’s on the way.
Exploding person bump
My daughter is normally an in your face, get that weak crap out of here, who’s your supervisor - kind of person.
2 male TSA agents ask her to take off her sweater (she had a tank type bra on underneath) in the regular security line. No behind the curtain stuff, no female agents..just out in the open for all to see.
She complied, with much embarrassment, cause she said she would have missed her flight if she didn’t.
Didn’t want to miss a flight? How nuts is her logic ?
She didn’t get any names, but thinks she can ID them.
Supposedly she has a friend who’s a mucky-muck with DHS and she’s gunna pitch a bitch.
Guess we have to have another talk with her...
If I were to see a woman in a burqa carrying a large black backpack I would be very interested & I would get the he11 away from her asap. I would also be telling somebody to check her out...Whatever happened to the be on the alert for strange backpacks? Is it normal for burqa wearers to even carry backpacks?
This is not surprising. The “security” we have is like a play date. It is mostly pretend and too often the people most annoyed and put out are the least likely to be a threat. It is like when they used to ask if your luggage had been with you the whole time. Is anyone going to answer, “Well as a matter of fact No, there was a nice gentlemen who asked me to carry this on for him”. Guns and other dangerous weapons routinely go missing in checked luggage because they don’t have a thorough screening system for employees. All I can say is that we are very lucky that Al Qaeda is more interested in what is going on in Iraq than trying to blow up airplanes.
I don’t think its even normal for a burqa wearer to be out and about unescorted by a man.
I live in DC (well Alexandria, VA. close enough). I suspect she didn’t get much of a reaction here because it’s fricken DC. It an international city. I’ve seen all kinds a people dressed in all kinds of ways. Its just isn’t a big deal if you live here. I’m more concerned with punks in gangs than some chick in a burka. There were a gaggle of foreign gals with there heads covered (but not wearing a burka) on the subway the other night. They were middle easterners of some sort, definitly muslim, but I couldn’t really tell where they were from. The idea that they were terrorsts never came to my mind. One of them was kind of cute :-). Hey, I’m a single guy. I notice stuff like that.
The security at the airport doesn’t sound encouraging though, assuming the article is accurate.
I've been saying for a long time that, when that happens, the fake tolerance will disappear and things will go completely the other way. The discrimination that scum like CAIR claim is already here will be. Anyone in a Burkha or who kind of looks muslim will be hounded into hiding.
And the real terrorists will be the first ones in line to persecute them, in order to "prove" that they're really loyal citizens. And yet more cities will be annihilated.
You're just saying that because at many international airports, the CBPOs who work egress aren't equipped with Personal Radiation Detectors.

If we actually equipped every CBPO with a PRD, we'd have to train them, and equip them with batteries. Those batteries are a real budget buster,2DV. We're better off not knowing if nukes are coming in the country.
In this county yes they do. In many Muslim countries they don’t. A male relative must be with them at all times outside of the house. The converted ones walk around alone all the time. It doesn’t make me feel very safe that they can now say no to lifting their veils either. How are we to know just who is inside of that burqa?
I sure hope you are wrong, but I’ve feared what you say all along.....
