As funny as it seems, babies have been used to smuggle things for many years now. Drugs have been found in diapers and even inside babies. I would imagine it would be pretty easy to put some type of weapon or explosive in a diaper. Is it common to find babies being used for smuggling? Probably not, but it does happen- so some babies must be checked just to show the bad guys it may be done.
Was it illegal for the photographer to take this photo?
Just askin’...
I don’t think it should be, but if it is, I’d like to see this go to court -
(in by best fake German accent)
“It ist illeeegal for you to photograph the government’s intrusion on your so-called liberty!”
I have taken my P-38 (on my key ring) along with me on dozens of flights during the past few years, and have never been questioned about it. But the one time I forgot I had an 8 oz. bottle of contact lens solution in my bag, they grabbed it - in spite of me being a routine traveler with a passport, driver’s license, state CCW ID, company photo ID card; everything but a note from my rabbi attesting to my circumcision. It is insane.
You said they are being singled out for being white...provide a link.
“You said they are being singled out for being white...provide a link.”
A couple things,first all cultures ARE not equal and second You are not the sharpest tack in the box a white hating racist!.
In a sane, (and free), country we’d do away with the TSA and screening entirely.

Calling me a racist is about the funniest thing I've read here since Teddy Kennedy died. Are you channeling Al Sharpton?

No your position is way out of line! WHY do Whites get treated like Terrorists. GOOGLE it yourself, Abu.
iow...you can’t. We understand, it’s not easy when you get called out to show back-up for the junk that you spew as fact.
“iow...you can’t. We understand, it’s not easy when you get called out to show back-up for the junk that you spew as fact.”
No that would be you!! Ever live in a Muslim Country lippy??, I have! BTW do you have access to Google?? You seem completely lost here and on the side of the terrorists!also unable to do any basic research to back up your twisted outlook! Again not all cultures and People are Equal, Got it??
Great story.
Those idiots cannot catch anyone really dangerous.
You stated that TSA targets white babies and gives muslim babies a pass. Asked for proof of that claim you go off on a ridiculous, name-calling rant. Some folks do that when called on their nonsense, but most of them are children.
“Yeah, I’m pro-muslim...you’ve got a case there.

Yes they do give Muslims a pass,Google it yourself terrorist!
In my experience, I cannot recall ever seeing in the US a muslim male getting a secondary look/pat-down, you know, the guy dressed in classic garb, headdress. Nor can I recall a burka-wearing female getting a double look, either. And I've been watching.
I have seen in the US many wheelchair bound 80-ish white old ladies getting the probe, as well as infants and toddlers. Like someone observed, we are looking for weapons, not terrorists.
In middle-east countries I see third-country nationals (pakis, indians, thai, etc) getting the double-deep search, but never see western travelers nor muslims getting a look-over.
Heck, there are quite a few middle-east countries where you pay an “expediter” at the hotel and he walks you through the airport, past “security” and to your gate. . .never once getting a look by any “security.”
So, we have a situation where, since 9-11, I have been vigilant and watching security at the airport and I see no muslims getting a look (domestic or abroad), and I see how silly “security” is and how easy it would be to “get around” security at airports where jihad is a goal and way of life/death.
My observations are based on the my experience as a 150K + a year frequent international flyer.
