A Muslim spokesman was interviewed on Fox this AM. When asked if he thought that full-body scanners at airports would improve security, he replied that Muslims would never stand for them because they would show the bodies of Muslim women. The interviewer let that pass without any protest.
Assume the worst case. You get scanned and your naked as a baby picture gets posted on Free Republic. Could it be worse than that?
Actually it could. You could get on an airplane with a 25 year old kid from Nebraska who got converted to Islam and decided to go for the 72 virgins while on your flight. You can profile forever and not see this guy coming.
(No offense to anyone from Nebraska. Actually the kid could have been from Iowa.)
I'll take the naked on FR route every time.
See my post #120.
***Ok buy you own airlines and no one but muslim will fly on it. That will solve the problem!***
NO! They would have to have a Muslim flight crew which I would not trust. Would anyone else want to pilot a group of Muslims into the USA?
MAKE THEM TAKE A SHIP!
A few years of 0bamacare and doctors will be union thugs too.
Unfortunately, I think you have rewarded bad behavior by now choosing not to fly because of these a**holes.
Not directed at you, but I thinks we are again sacrificing freedom for security.
Is there a form we can fill out or something? Please?
So when the next bomber stuffs the explosives up his smelly hiney, are you willing to do the body-cavity search? I would guess not. So the question is one of tolerance: How much are you willing to tolerate to accommodate the government and their PC BS just so we don't offend those that would murder us?
Right now “security” at an airport is not providing any extra level of protection. Those that fly a lot, like us, we know it is all visuals to deceive the public into believing they are being protected. How many times have you heard some once-a-year traveler oohing and awwing over the wonderful security.
Recently watched some TSA muslime waltz right on past the screeners and into the terminal, never going through security. The TSA person wasn't even in uniform but was going on vacation. That person was recognized by the other TSA dolt and waved through. I spoke with the TSA supervisor, yeah, right, like talking to a HS drop-out. Then I called TSA and was told, by someone with a muslime name, that TSA people can come and go into an airport all they want, at any time they want (flying or working or not), and don't have to be screened. It was, “A perk that comes with the job.” No ID check to even confirm the person was still employed by TSA, no screening of the bag, nothing. Just let her walk on past. Heck, we don't even let the aircrew do that and they are flying the darned jet.
Insanity, but yet we make it more and more difficult and intrusive for the Amish, 80-yr old grandmas, toddlers, 50-ish W/M business travelers and leave the muslime part out of the equation.
I think you are sadly right. I think some would get a thrill out of humiliating people.
Good Our problems are over. Put in the body scanners and muslims will self select not to fly. Brilliant!
I have an idea that looking at bodies would very quickly become a job, just a job and not an exciting one. Ask doctors if they are titillated by looking at bodies.
Absolutely, unequivically not. Once you have seen the first thousand bodies, you’ve pretty much seen it all.
And these scans...woudn’t the picture that is displayed basically be an x-ray. It’s not as though anyone’s naked body in the flesh is going to be shown for all the see, or even the scanner to see. I would have no problem with my x-ray pic basically showing my skeleton. Devices that could be used as bombs and the human skeleton is all that would be visible. I don’t see the problem.
No. The solution is that muslim owned airlines will be given a very narrow corridor to fly on and will have fighter jet escorts on all flights. Deviate from the flight plan by a hair - get shot down.
LOL, that was funny. I guess it’s not one of our choices either that our govt stop bringing more and more muslims into our country as fast as they can. Also not our choice I guess. So this problem now is going to be a nightmare in 20 or so years for my poor kids and grandkids.
Muslims complaining, demanding??? Why, what a surprise.
Yep if you won’t got through it just don’t fly. There is no guarantee of being able to fly to anyone out there and if you don’t like the scanners drive.
maybe we should just give a waiver to the Muslims. I mean they only make up about 1% of the population.
Why throw out the baby with the bathwater when we could scan the other 99% of travelers?
No, the picture does not show the skeleton; it is a 3D view of the exterior fleshy parts of the body.
Good grief, and I do suppose Muslims will be exempt from this on religious grounds so what’s the point? I can’t even imagine the scale of magnitude this problem is going to be on once we have millions upon millions more muslims living here. I feel like going and apologizing to my kids right now for the hell that awaits them called their futures. My husband and I have tried our best but it does seem we’ve been outnumbered by the liberal forces.
Muslims won't be boarding airplanes either. Problem solved.
