I think you can get in trouble by over-generalizing. I consider myself a libertarian and I'm very suspicious of the Patriot Act and other measures that appear to impinge on our freedoms.

However, Bush and the feds are NOT conditioning us to be afraid. They are telling us every chance they get that "Islam is a religion of peace" and to go about our lives, fly in planes, etc.

My fear of Muslim terrorism is based on rational analysis of the facts we read wbout every day. Muslim terrorists like to use bombs. They have on several occasions USED WOMEN AS BOMBERS. They have asked our courts to allow Mulim women to keep their veils on for IDENTIFICATION PHOTOS. They get very indignant about "kafirs" looking at or touching their women.

So I asked a simple question that no one is willing to answer. How do you tell if a "pregnant" women is really pregnant and not a Muslim terrorist? This has nothing to do with the Patriot Act. How are you going to do it?

The thrust of this article is that "pregnant women" should not be patted down in airports. If we fall for that one, Johnney Mommamed is going to have free pass to smuggle anything they want onto airplanes with the help of their Burka-clad compadres.

So I ask once again. How are you going to stop them?

The thrust of this article is not that pregnant women should never be searched.

The complaint has to do with the public disrobing, and the public groping, of this man's wife.

Our government isn't conditioning us to be afraid of the Moslems, BigBobber. They're conditioning us to accept the end of our freedom.

The Patriot Act doesn't "appear" to impinge on our freedom. The Patriot Act is a direct attack on our freedom.

Simple, BigBobber.

Search the pregnant women in private.

There's no reason to give the entire building a lesson in public humiliation.

That is, if it really is a security issue, and not just an attempt to intimidate people into giving up their freedom.

Why should an American citizen, female by gender and pregnant be searched at all??

That is the question, and any men left in this country with their balls intact would be asking it about the time some low-life moron at an airport terminal asked his wife to step out of line.

Of course, most sheeple just bend over spread their cheeks willingly, whining, "anything you want sir, anything at"... all...

Well, for starters, you can look and see if she's of middle-eastern descent.
