Canadians outraged: Veiled Muslim women not required to lift veil, prove ID at airports
Homeland Security Newswire ^ | November 23, 2010

Posted on 11/23/2010 10:19:01 AM PST by La Lydia

Canadian airport security personnel do not ask veiled Muslims women to lift their veils, show and ID, and prove their identity; the veiled women do not even interact with security personnel: rather, a man traveling with the women typically hands in all the passports and is the only one to communicate with airline staff while the veiled women simply walk through, unchecked and unidentified; a video showing two veiled women walking unchecked through security at Montreal's Trudeau International Airport causes outrage in Canada.

Frequent flyers know the drill well: take off your shoes, surrender your tweezers, and pack your shampoo in those little plastic baggies before lining up for the naked body scanners. How about lifting your niqab? Apparently not.

The Toronto Sun’s Brian Lilley and Bryn Weese write that neither airlines nor security services are asking Muslim women to lift their veils and prove that the face beneath matches their photo ID.

The issue came to light through a video taken by Mick Flynn of Bradford, England. Flynn was boarding a flight at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport when he witnessed two women with their faces covered board an Air Canada Heathrow-bound flight without being asked to remove their veils.

In fact, in the video that Flynn has posted online, a man traveling with the women hands in all the passports and is the only one to interact with airline staff while two veiled women simply walk through.

“I complained at the desk — and again as I boarded the plane — asking if the pilot was happy that two women boarded without being identified,” Flynn told QMI News Agency. “Both members of staff whom I spoke to were flustered and clearly embarrassed.”...

Lawyer David Harris of INSIGNIS Strategic Research says Canadians should be concerned about what he deems preferential treatment. “Full veiling has been a boon for those participating in criminal and terrorist operations,” Harris said pointing to the story of Mustaf Jama.

Jama, a Somali national with a long criminal record, was wanted in Britain for the 2006 murder of police constable Sharon Beshenivsky. As police closed in to arrest the career criminal, Jama was able to escape back to Somalia by wearing a full veil and boarding a flight at Heathrow airport....

This could put night club age checkers out of business. Of course, terrorist men who were wearing explosives have never disguised themselves as women by wearing a burqa. What? Really? Never mind.

PREDICTION: NOTHING will happen either on Thanksgiving or Christmas. The “Good Cop” Muslims (which includes CAIR, Imam Rauf, and the entire Obama Adminstration enablers) will be using all the hysteria they’ve created to prove again that there is nothing to fear from “Muslims”, regardless of whether they’ve gotten a total Security ‘pass’ or not. In this way, they will bolster the
Good Cop case, making it easier to gain acceptance for the long, slow, infiltration, and new plans to go forward with Imam Rauf’s Ground Zero Recruitment Center/Mosque.

That could work. We should do it here as well.

Steven Harper:

“Canada is a Northern European welfare state in the worst sense of the term, and very proud of it”,

“if you’re like all Americans, you know almost nothing except for your own country. Which makes you probably knowledgeable about one more country than most Canadians

Now, that would be an interesting protest if a large number of us showed up for our flights in full niqab.

How would TSA handle a lot of veiled women wearing shapeless sacks and demanding privacy and modesty? Could be interesting and point out some of the ridiculousness of this whole business.

(It would be loathsome to me to wear that, but could be worth it.)

In NAZI Germany, the rank and file escaped criminal charges as they claimed thay were only following orders likely on the of pain of death. We need to take note that TSA rank and file do not have guns to their heads. They have pensions and government perks to keep them in place. When it’s time for criminal charges, include the rank and file.

...And we know that at least some of them (terrorists and/or criminals) are using it as a safe means of transport, as per the article, while we are treated like the criminals. Welcome to bizzarro world...

Even with 09/11 in the rear view mirror,the islamic assault on the west is still in it's infancy, little victories here and there, this is only the beginning.

If it can't be stopped,because of liberal politically correct mind sets of western governments, we ain't seen nothing yet.

People in the government must think we are stupid or don’t care or that we wouldn’t find out about it. That is the only explanation. And this looks like a legitimate source. Thank you Internet!

Saw that movie and thought at the time, “This movie makes no sense.” Then read the book and realized it wasn’t supposed to make sense, because the army (govt.) often makes no sense.

They really are asking for it.

A simple solution would be to require all muzzies to have a microchip implant in their skull. Then just use an RFID reader to verify them.

Reverse profiling ... screen everybody but Muslims. Makes perfect sense.
