#135 Wardaddy. I mentioned the fact that the girl was Jewish for several reasons, major and minor. Minor was to add to the list of discrimination by the TSA if they had seen her boarding pass.

We are terribly short of Jewish suicide bombers right now, esp. women and young girls. They are too busy being students, mothers, teachers and rabbis.

After all, a suicide bomber has a short professional career and we Jews like to look to the long run in a profession.

It will be interesting to find out if the TSA/airlines were notified that the young girl was a disabled medical patient, and if so, who screwed up during the check-thru.

I carry a state-issued “Disabled” card with me (Defibrilator and Pacemaker in my chest), plus newly discovered spinal stenosis disabling pain (until surgery). Sometimes I have to use a cane because I cannot walk up inclines more than a few dozen feet.

I’m lucky because I also can carry a Govt “give all assistance” letter if I’m on government business but the average traveler is on their own.

TSA was established using the wrong premises so they have hurt more innocent people than they have caught terrorists.
That is why I never applied to work for them. I told my wife that it would take two years before they even got their act together. I was wrong. They never got their act together and never will if they keep the same corrupted thinking and management.

DHS is even worse. Jeh Johnson was the wrong man, period. He was a backbencher in terms of security operations if even that. Forget his JAG role as signing off on drone strikes. My son could do the same except that he had on the ground combat experience in Iraq. He know what he had to do to the enemy. Lawyers often have no idea what the real world is like.

Miss Cohen is just the latest victim of a bureaucracy that never morphed into a rationally planned, professional led, and pragmatically operated security agency.

In other words, the Keystone Cops were more effective than the TSA is. So sad. So dangerous.
