Nice try but the example of burka-clad women breezing through security happened in Canada. Not in the U.S. which was the whole point of my post. Other countries are more lenient with their security so we should not complain about our security here because we don't have these kind of incidents. Also, we have not had a successful terrorist attack on an airplane leaving an U.S. airport since 9/11.

From the article you linked, here is an excerpt below explaining why the burka-clad women would not be exempt from a security screening here in the U.S.A.

In the United States there will be nothing to change because, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) because the agency will not allow airline passengers to get out of body imaging screening or pat-downs based on their religious beliefs.
