Wanna bet?
To be honest, I don’t mind the scanner or pat downs as long as there are no exceptions. But if we give Muslim women a pass then we truly are insane!!
Interesting. I do think the aim is to discourage Opt Outs, but I wonder if they were telling you the truth that the radiation machines won't detect explosive powders.
I think an investigative reporter (film-maker) should replicate the "underwear bomb" put it in an adult diaper worn by a paid actor and see if it gets through. The paid actor should be an overweight female aged 70.
The whole thing should be recorded on tape from multiple angles.
I'd be willing to contribute money to such a test of the system.
Those who give up essential liberty to gain temporary security derserve neither.
How do you know the 82 year old grandmother isn’t really a 22 year old arab in makeup dressed up as an old lady ?
Have you seen the pictures of the young asian guy that was in makeup and appeared to be a 80+ year old man ?
How about Arnold dressed up as woman in “Total Recall” ?
ps. I am just playing devils advocate. If you don’t search/screen everybody you open yourself to a discrimination lawsuit.
****I may rethink my opposition to the naked scanners and aggressive body searches if those measures have the effect of keeping Muslims off US airplanes.*****
LOL! I love it!

Put three or four solid one piece ballpoint pens in your pocket and sit next to the Moslem. If they try anything out of sorts, quickly implant a pen into their body. Anywhere is fine. If they don’t sit back down and behave, repeat the implant in an eye socket. If you hang onto it for a few moments their fidgeting will make a sloppy omelet out of their brain. They will then need assistance to locate their seat.
Rapidly pull another pen out while saying loudly and clearly, “Who’s next?”
They won’t be more effective. Walking through the metal detector and past a bomb sniffing dog on the other side would be more effective and speed things up considerably. Bomb sniffing dogs can detect even small amounts of explosives.
Oh I forgot thats a good idea. Nevermind.
Excellent. Good for you. I think you need an accomplice who can secretly videotape what happens in the private room.
I don't think Islamic women travel alone. If you have friends who can also don costumes, you'd look more authentic.
I've thought of doing this too. If you're near JFK or Newark pm me and I'll do it with you. I don't think a burka could be too hard to sew; three yards of cheap black muslim, opps, LOL, I mean, cheap muslin and a few seams. I wonder if Simplicity has a pattern. LOL!
I was thinking I needed to get in the bottom dresser drawer to find that holy protective religious body covering in case I need to get on an airplane.
Although a body pat down might be just the ticket. Protection or not. Of course it would have to be a TSA chickadee.
The only pair of Holy undies I own are one piece with the gaping opening in the appropriate area - size...Maternity!
I guess they might still fit. :{
What are they going to do when instead of trying to get explosives on an aircraft, terrorist just detonate one in the crowded lines waiting to be inspected?
They work great for waxing the car. And now, going through airports. I knew that crutch was troo.
The link to the CAIR site was clear that it suggested Muslim women ask specifically if they were getting extra scrutiny because of their headscarf and if the answer was 'yes' they should remind TSA to limit the pat down to the head and neck as it was the location in question.
That stance seemed entirely reasonable… there's no reason to grope you elsewhere if they want to know if something's hidden on top of your head.
But the Feds are all too happy to make another Federal Agency....
Knee-jerks!
“I have a real burka from Afghanistan, the blue one with the eyescreen, and I’m willing to make a scene.’
Can you do that ‘Li-Li-Li-Li-’ noise they make too? That would freak them out!
What about someone like me?This is discrimination on a grand scale. Because of my medical devices the scanner xray s out and because these devices take nsets that go under the skin and can be dislodged by a pat down they are out too.I sure hope the ADA lawyers step in and sure the governemnt over this.
Fly UNITED
That'll teach you damned MUZZIES!!!
(Muzzle loader enthusiasts)
Detect?
Hell; I want a machine that SETS THEM OFF!
