As investigators search for the cause of a plane crash that killed 224 people over the Sinai Peninsula on Saturday and Russia suspends all flights to Egypt, U.S. officials said they are taking unspecified precautionary measures to enhance the security of flights from the Middle East.
“While the facts and circumstances surrounding the tragic October 31 crash of Metrojet Flight 9268 on the Sinai Peninsula are still under investigation, Transportation Security Administrator (TSA) Peter Neffenger and I, out of an abundance of caution, have identified a series of interim, precautionary enhancements to aviation security with respect to commercial flights bound for the United States from certain foreign airports in the region,†Jeh C. Johnson, secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement.
Johnson said the enhancements, also adopted by European aviation authorities, “are designed to provide an additional layer of security for the traveling public, and will be undertaken in consultation with relevant foreign governments and relevant passenger and cargo airlines.â€

“It’s not like we’re deploying TSA agents abroad,†the official said. “
Damn. Guess they didn’t want to Lower The Bar for those other countries. Remember citizens: Sleep tight america the TSA has got your back... your sack, your crotch, your ass and a few other private parts
In a sane world, that cartoon.
Or we could simply not allow a Muslim anywhere near aircraft. Or an Airport. Or America.
And eventually, after enough people die for nothing, we will do exactly that.
nice
No muslims in Star Trek...
...It’s set in the future!
Always loved that joke.
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t pull an ET and go digitally add muslims to the shows and movies.
they likely will with ‘special diversity editions’ that will ‘reflect the original intent of Gene Roddenberry” or some crap like that.
But our _resident Obucketoshiite can keep importing them as fast as possible into the country.
Placing them strategically across the amber waves of grain until the call to prayer is given to attack.
They will poison our water, blow up our dams and reek havoc across the country.
Jeh (what a f(&ked up name) will make sure, if you you are a jihadi flying to America, you will be safe getting here to destroy us.
Sinai crash...
inside job
Are all the muzzies who work in TSA going to be fired?
Does this mean that they’ll target Muslims for higher suspicion? Yea, didn’t think so.
Why not keep luggage and all packages off planes that have passengers? I’d think it would make flying more simple if luggage (including technology devices) were on a separate plane.
those signs are in the wrong places.
When someone has committed a huge and horrible crime and a dictatorial government can not identify much less catch the perpetrators then it is time to punish the subjects under its control.
BTW, isn’t that the Whitest Hand you have ever seen?
Forcing Americans to use the guns and ammo they have been buying for years now.
