A Muslim spokesman was interviewed on Fox this AM. When asked if he thought that full-body scanners at airports would improve security, he replied that Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women. The interviewer let that pass without any protest.
“Ewww. Look around the airport sometime. Would you want to see 99.99% of those people naked?”
That is a pretty gross thought.
Folks on FR are "supposed" to be conservatives, yet it amazes me how many are willing and eager to give up basic human rights for a perceived quantum of security. Would they submit to the "Gestapo" just barging into their homes with no warrant or reason and search it from top to bottom because they "have nothing to hide" and want their neighborhood to be safe? Or just randomly, for no cause, stop them along a highway and search the car? That's what these body scanners are - they're unwarranted searches.
“Stewardess, would you pull my finger?”
LOL!!
Truth is always stranger than fiction: a terrorist tried to kill a Saudi prince by blowing himself up with a bomb inserted into his rectum. The prince suffered hearing loss while being splattered with human burger bits.
Anyway, all I have to say about air travel these days is:
“Your car is your friend. Take care of it and it will take care of you.”
;^)
I am usually the first one to go olong with any measure that contributes to the safety of passengers but this is where I draw the line. We can pussy-foot around the issue all we want but I am sorry to say that in this case there is no other choice but to PROFILE.
Muslims have been blowing planes in the air and kiling innocent people for as long as I can remember, enough! It is time our government realize who and what the enemy is and stop pussy-footing around the real issue and deal with it. Time to get tough and dirty, either start profiling or nuke the bastards. Either that or be ready to see more planes falling from the sky in flames.
Screw them all, I’ve had it with anything muslim. They are simply evil and need to be stopped.
Ok buy you own airlines and no one but muslim will fly on it. That will solve the problem!
++++++++++++++
Right. They can blow each other up and make a big point about it...like they do now. How utterly sad. What a death cultus.
Darn. I was going to volunteer to scan you...
Muslims won’t submit to body scanners, so they should stop flying... then we won’t need the body scanners. Problem solved.
We will find

That's an option?
I'm in. (if she's even vaguely cute)...
If Larry Sinclair is to be believed, so does 0bama.
LOL! That is one of the options that I don’t want to happen but I am OK for a 70 year old.
No. We don't want you knitting an Afghan...
I’l old, I’m not dead!
And I can’t spell “I’m”, either...
EgyptAir flt 990.
"Controlled descent" with the pilot muttering mohammedan prayers all the way down.
While my first instinct is to reply: “Then don’t fly”, we need to adapt El Al’s security measures which were bandied about after 9-11 and promptly forgotten. They include such things as:
Profiling by religion and country of origin,
Looking at recent travel history,
Checking passport and name against multiple data bases,
Multiple screenings of luggage,
Luggage not left unattended once screened,
Intense inspection of passports and boarding passes,
Sky marshals on every plane,
Double doors on all cockpits,
Pilots are allowed to armed in cockpits, and
Interviews by security officers prior to boarding.
Even at overseas airports El Al conducts security checks, even if they are supervised by government or private security firms.

Also, IIRC anyone who not allowed to fly EL AL is very courteously assisted in getting a flight on another airline.
What I like about El Al’s approach is that they catch not only those on the terror watch lists, also those who have recently traveled to Muslim countries for ‘training’, converts who don’t fit the traditional Jihadist profile, e.g. blond blue-eyed man name Patrick O’Reilly, and those who are duped into carrying.
That reminds me of a favorite t-shirt I used to have. It said: Laredo....not the end of the world.... but you can see it from there! There was also something about Menudo the breakfast of champions, as I recall.
Then I guess they don't get to fly......and we can ALL breathe a sigh of relief!!
“Folks on FR are “supposed” to be conservatives, yet it amazes me how many are willing and eager to give up basic human rights for a perceived quantum of security.”
It amazes me too.

My all time favorite t-shirt was one that an old roommate of mine had.
Kinda a circular seal with a frog with bird (or angel?) wings flying out of the center.
The top of the seal said “Missoula Montana”
The bottom said “It’s a place, sort of”
