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 Suns 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 Montreals 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....
Too true, too true!
The lesson here? Don’t fly into or out of a Canadian airport.
Thanks La Lydia.
One of thise veiled mavins in the photo is a man. Can you tell which one? ( hint ..check hands..finger lengths are different in men and women)
The TSA would have a blast with them!
This in INTENTIONAL AID to the ENEMY.
cough cough..... treason...... rope ...... cough cough
Scary happenings in the Very Upper Peninsula.
Thousands of dead on 9/11 weren’t near an airport.
...though it's more offensive when viewed from their own streets.
