If I was on the deciding end of this situation, I would not let any Mooslimb on an airplane going ANYWHERE but that is not one of my choices.
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.
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.
As a grandma who got patted down in order to pick my daughter up at O’Hare airport on Sunday (the other grandma booked a 9 year old “unaccompanied minor” thru O’Hare with a layover!!!!), I would have rather had the scanner, too.
And, I’d rather all those Arabic, black, and Pakistanian/Indian men were scanned, also.
I don’t like to fly, but I do like to go places I couldn’t go otherwise - like St. Martin in January. I’m not going to let some crazy men keep me from the sun and warm water. And, definitely not from my granddaughter.
I was victim of a “no alarm” and “random” body search. The woman was young, and polite, but the pat-down was still intrusive. However, it did not include what could easily be considered the best areas for smuggling explosives - the “swimsuit areas.”
Bodies are made up of pretty generic parts and xrays and scans won’t show enough detail to be identifiable. I’m not sure how successful they’d be in the case of smuggling in body folds and cavities.
That's an option?
I'm in. (if she's even vaguely cute)...
