She was told to stand for the body scanner; to put her feet in a certain spot and hold her arms up for 7 seconds. Then she was told to wait "for the results". Next thing she knows a woman with blue gloves is approaching her. My friend asked what's up. The blue glove woman told her that her necklace showed up. This gave blue glove woman reason to pat my friend down from next to waist with everything in between. My friend was floored.

When she got on the plane she struck up a conversation with a woman who'd been behind her in line. That woman told her about a man with the turban and woman in a burka who walked right on through; no body scanning and no pat downs. When the woman asked a male security agent what was up with that, she was told "It's against their religion to be inspected"!!! I told my friend that's one flight I'd be afraid to be on.

Characteristics of a sick, ill-informed government to allow such a thing...in short, I can’t believe what I read and hear in the news, almost every day now...

My husband flew this week and is coming home tonight. I haven’t asked him how the security thing went, but he flew in and out of major airports. I’m curious to see what his experiences were.

A turban? That’s not Muslim. FWIW.

Really a turban and a burka? I live in San Jose with has a very broad mix of cultures imported from around the world especially Muslims. Not once have I ever seen a Muslim wear a turban. The people who wear turbans are the Sikhs and they are generally peaceful people who’s culture developed in part as a reaction to Muslim violence.
