I remember getting 2nd-level security screened at Detroit by a Muslim with a Hijab.

It pretty much summed everything up that's wrong with the TSA to me, until I saw this picture.

Anyway, I was inches from asking a supervisor "can I not get screened by a Muslim?," but thought that the potential ensuing problem might cause me to miss my flight.

Just because that person is wearing a hijab?

One question here. Are the evil maniacs who have used women and children to conceal their weapons of death capable of using a nun's habit to hide a bomb belt? Since the answer is yes then we have to treat the threat seriously and not carve out special exemptions for any race, class, costume or condition. Remember in "The Battle of Algiers" when the French searched all the traditionally dressed women but let the bombs go by with girls dressed as if they were assimilated?

Iran Arming the Taliban, Admiral Says

They just got caught red handed.

HERAT, Afghanistan (AFP) - Afghan authorities said they had seized dozens of Iranian and Chinese-made weapons after a brief battle Saturday with Taliban fighters near the border with Iran.

The weapons found in the western province of Herat included about 40 mines and rocket-propelled grenades, the government's intelligence agency said in a statement.

They were found in a vehicle that Taliban fighters abandoned following an exchange of fire in the province's Ghoryan district on the Iranian border, it said.

"The weapons were seized after Taliban escaped and left one of their vehicles behind with the weapons," it said.

This shows you how much we are not serious people.
If you click on that picture you will be treated with the knowledge that the TSA agent is Ta Da! a Muslim.
Thats right the logic has become so inverted that Muslims can be the frisker's & Little old nuns the friskees.

Not easy working for our government in Homeland Security.

But we live in a world, when something's NOT obvious; it can still produce UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.

No, we don't use religion to bar people in America but we do need to have real background checks and enforce rules on courteous and professional demeanor that given the conditions of government service are frequently not enforced in the work place.

Bet the Muslim TSA worker let a bunch of praying imams and burka babes on board without a second glance.

Those Christians are causing trouble again. Throw them to the lions.
The TSA really needs to look out for elderly nuns brandishing canes. They're nothing but a threat.

Send out the holy hand grenade.

You know, Charles, we simply can't be too careful with all of those suicide-bombing nuns running around.

Personally I'd think given the legacy of the KKK we should be able to get a law that passes constitutional muster banning all face covering with narrow exemptions for 1) medical necessity verified in a legal proceeding 2) theatrical work and 3) time limited events like Halloween.

And now that I've thought it over a bit:

Yes, because of the threat, they do have to search everyone. You don't know if that's really a nun, etc.

We cannot, and should not, bar people from TSA jobs on the grounds of religion. But I hope there are SERIOUS background checks.

And, finally; yes, we DO have to "profile" in security screening. Sorry to passengers who "look Muslim/Arab", but that's the way it is.

This photograph is indicative of this "feel good" security that Homeland has been running since 9/11. Instead of real security where we target suspicious people (or possibly groups) we target everyone with these PC BS measures. Don't you feel better?

Terrorists Training in Rural America?

RED HOUSE, Va. - Islamic extremists in the United States have traditionally set up shop in big cities with large Muslim populations: places like New York City, Dearborn, Michigan and even Washington, DC. But one secretive group is doing just the opposite.

They call themselves Muslims of America. They've established compounds throughout the rural U.S. Members say they moved to the countryside to lead peaceful lives free of "Western decadence." But others say that doesn't tell the whole story.

"Certainly, when you're in a rural area it enables you to better escape from the prying eyes of law enforcement," said CBN News consultant David Gartenstein-Ross.

He says Muslims of America has close ties to a violent Pakistani group named Jamaat Al-Fuqra. Both groups are led by the same extremist cleric: Sheikh Mubarak Gilani.

"Sheikh Gilani is an extremist figure known to be very much involved in the jihads against India, also known to be very much anti-Semitic," Gartenstein-Ross said.

Gilani's images and messages are all over the Muslims of America Web site.

He founded the group during a visit to Brooklyn in 1980. Shoe bomber Richard Reid and Beltway sniper John Allen Muhammed are said to have been among his followers.

Gilani encouraged his U.S. pupils-mostly African Americans-to move to rural areas and establish Muslim communes. The group now has dozens of these communes nationwide.

"Al Fuqra has compounds from coast-to-coast.and what this indicates is they're going to areas where land is plentiful--where you can get land for relatively cheap prices," Gartenstein-Ross said.

CBN News visited the group's 45-acre site in Red House, Virginia - a town so small you can barely find it on a map. There are no traffic lights, and the only signs of industry are a pair of convenience stores. So when a street sign popped up named after a radical Pakistani sheikh-along with men and women dressed in traditional Islamic garb- the locals took notice.

Sheikh Gilani has been on U.S. intelligence agencies' radar for years. He's currently under investigation for possible ties to al-Qaeda. He also trained jihadists to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s.

In addition, Gilani attended a 1993 jihadist conference in Sudan along with members of Hamas, Hezbollah and Osama bin Laden himself.

American journalist Daniel Pearl was on his way to interview Gilani in 2002 when he was murdered. The sheikh denies any involvement in Pearl's killing.

CBN News spoke to a former member of Muslims of America who wishes to remain anonymous. 'Mustafa' says Gilani runs the group from Lahore, Pakistan.

erica?

More at the link.

I'm sure this picture gives liberals great joy. It's a demonstration of the power they wield to force absurdity on people. If liberals say 80 year old Christian nuns are just as likely to cause a terrorist attack as a 27 year old Saudi on a student visa, then that's the law of the land. The more absurd, the more it punctuates their un-restrained power.

Sickening.

Besides the obvious absurdity of searching an elderly nun who needs a wheelchair, if Muslims can get jobs at TSA, how hard would it be for a terror cell to plant a member or two at an airport, and then coordinate boarding a flight for hijacking when their inside people were working the screening?

Given many of the statements about Muslims duty to Islam consider the following scenario.

TSA screen picture, or one like her is approached by the local Imam. The Imam tells her she will be approached by a brother and she should cooperate with the brother. Within a few days a greets her and makes clear he is a muslim, he asks tells her is about to miss his flight and if she could quickly pass the bag.

How confident are we she would do her duty as a TSA agent, or would she do her Muslim duty as requested by the Imam.

And, all the men would say is "sorry ... I have big feet." (Didn't see your flesh, there.)

Well, don't announce "only Muslims will be screened", just have wisdom when conducting the "random searches."

Nuns who still wear 'habits' (which is what her 'dress' is called), often wear a large rosary attached to their belt, and it is often covered up by the front portion of what appears to be a poncho-like part of the habit.

Perhaps the nun walked through the gate and got dinged - for the rosary, which is often constructed of small chain and a large metal crucifix. Is it possible that the hijabed screener is holding a wand in her right hand, which is also not in view from this angle?

I guess what I am doing is offering something reasonable for an explanation for the pat-down, or whatever is taking place. I'm not a frequent flier.

I rest my case about the MIT student. She was stupid and sophomoric, but then again I dare say most sophomores are sophomores.

re: #101 Egfrow

My comment was concerning the searchees, not the searchers.

Are my eyes playing tricks? Is a person in a HEADSCARF frisking a NUN at an airport? IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Sorry guys, whatever works for one, works for all, I don't care who or what the TSA agent is. I've been searched because of a last minute flight change which was not my fault. It was the airlines that scheduled me to take off from an airport in another part of the state because of their screw up. I don't care, rules are rules. I want to travel safely. Do we even know the reason this nun was searched?

re: #114 Josephine

My first thought was, "Holy (something), that's just wrong."

My second was, "What do they do in Israel?"

I
understand the point of the photo, and if the person doing the search
wasn't a Muslim, it would still seem stupid to me (only less so).

Does
anyone know if a nun in a habit would be physically manhandled like
that in an airport in Israel? Or are our (North American) airports just
doing it to be politically correct?

Israel uses REAL STANDARDS!

They look for eyeball recognition technology. And, they rarely mistake a nun, or any other passenger, for a terrorist.

We could do the same. (The money spent using American taxpayer money dwarfs what it costs the Israelis.) But there's still the training.

The [bigoted word]s? Might as well have them jumping through burning hoops, and calling "that" training; as just about anything else. What a waste of time!

Go ahead. Make a list. Think of the things you think gets done in Israel. And, compare it to Michigan's "dead last" status?

Muslims grow on the carcasses of dead cities.

Who killed those cities? Not terrorists. Just union goons. And, the idiots in management who thought their credentials were better than those of engineers.

Can't revive what's dead, though.

Japan's not returning our car industry any time soon.

As to the flying public? You mean the idiots at the FBI, and Homeland Security, think they've formed a long-lasting entity for themselves? Well. I think not.

But it's sickening to see this affirmative action crapola playing out. Because, we could have done better!

Many airports don't have "random" searches, to keep things "fair" the search every x number. All one has to do is watch the pattern, when it's you're turn just drop a bag and let stuff spill out, be gracious and tell the person behind you to "go ahead."

El Al profiles based upon behaviors of passengers, there systems is very effective, and one we should be modeling.

If you fly out of Israel or if you fly in on EL AL--the most important part of the security check has already occurred before you ever show up at that airport. They have a tremendous data base on file. They know who I am ( for better or worse ) in advance. They still check everyone extremely well but they already have an idea who they are looking for.

re: #38 lifeofthemind

At the risk of being tarred, feathered and carried out on a rail, I was about to make that same exact point.

We know from reading the news that the jihadis are trying to convert and recruit non-Muslim-looking individuals to carry out suicide bombings. Do any of you doubt that Lynn Stewart (the one-eyed sheik's lawyer) would hesitate an instant to impersonate a nun to smuggle explosives or a weapon through a checkpoint?

On the other hand, yes, the picture has enough irony for a decade worth of iron supplements.

re: #121 Sharmuta

Oh, I'm not going to challenge you or the problems of Political Correctness. It is indeed out of hand.

Lawyers, slithering politicians, and agenda driven media have all ensured we will will collapse from within as a society.

The searching of Nuns is a non issue can we agree? It is not done to "feel good" but despite the desire to calm the public that it is done for real threat needs. The nature of the TSA staff and of non government employees given access to airport secure areas is another issue that does need to be addressed.

Good thing they managed to find a woman to do the searching. She doesn't have to go wash her hands after she's done.

Perhaps this TSA guard mistook this Catholic Nun for a dangerous Amish Operative.
Her Amish recognition skills are sorely lacking, but her frisking technique is spot on !

I know that some people will decry this, but this is what the security people should be doing.
In the ME terrorists have dressed as orthodox Jews, to infiltrate and then explode their bombs. If nuns get a pass, then they will send a sucide bomber dress as a nun.
I believe that a Arab woman was stopped in Israel with a domb desguised as an unborn baby.
With white, disaffected young people joining THE death-cult instead of more tradition left-wing death machines, Islamicist terrorist can look like anyone. Search everyone you can.

The folks in the article I linked are Muslims of America, too.

re: #124 Carol Herman

Yes, and my understanding is that these standards require that security people use their powers of observation. As you said, it's all about the training.

Karen Armstrong used to be a nun. I'd be damn uncomfortable sitting on a plane with her.

My son in law who is an engineer for a firm that works with aiports and travels all the time calls the TSA, etc. 'security theater' and says that it's a joke. He knows all the ways to get around carry-on rules as do all those who work in the airports.

Why don't we bring in El Al and follow their lead? Oh I forgot. It's the RoP and since political correctness rules, there's no need for real security.

as weapon of mass destruction!
2) Share all imformation from whatever source, regardless of anyones civil
liberties to prevent violation of Standard 1.
3) All debate about profiling, civil liberties, and anything else---see #1.

This is nothing more than religious profiling! Can't fly while Catholic anyone? Can't she sue like the non-flying imams did? Any John Does that might have instigated this whole thing?

Geez, I can't imagine how the hajibed one got a job at TSA - can you? I'm sure it had nothing to do with quotas, or anything. In the middle east, she'd be stoned for working!

I bet it gives her quite a feeling of satisfaction humiliating the nun like that.

I wish I could get some muslim TSA screener on her knees in front of me - I'm sure I could say a few things under my breath that'd make her pay at least a little bit for the satisfaction she gains from searching a non-muslim! Only problem is that males only get male screeners - bummer!

A Muslim hijab-wearing female is wanding a nun! How did America get to this level of PC absurdity? I sincerely hope this pic is a hoax/fake. If it is not, we are doomed.

To comment on the picture above is a moot point. However, one action that one person may take is to go to their airport and see who the screeners are. If one find a similar TSA agent, then one can declare that one has no confidence that proper security is being provided. The left will tell you that they have validated the TSA agent and therefore he or she is good as gold.
Please, everyone, point them to this
“Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief, except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.” Surah 16: 106
That is a quote from one of the books of their "Bible" the Quran. The book is full of moral relativism's just like that. They justify everything from that book.

Screening a nun looks ludicrous on the surface, but remember, in Israel, arabs regularly dress as Haredi in order to get jews to let down their defenses, bring them into their fold, so the arabs can do their evil.

#12 Charles

Yes, I saw right away that the security guard was in a hijab. Boy, she must be tittering all the way home about how her men kin have turned our great nation upside down and made us all a laughing stock.

This is a case of "a picture paints a thousand words."

I really wish this photo would make the rounds in major newspapers. Yeah, I know, when pigs fly . . .

As a nearly sixty-five year old male traveling from Los Angeles to Kansas City I got put throught the secondary security search as did my wife while a late twenties mohammed and his bagged women ahead of us walked through security without a wink. Ahead of my wife in the secondary search line they were doing a search on an eighty year old plus woman .
TSA searches are a pc joke nothing more. Fortunately the crews of the US airlines are considerably more astute and so far I haven't seen cabin crews stuffed with bagged employees yet.

For those who asked about security practices in the Israeli airport -- first of all, as someone said, they don't allow Muslims in that job. Secondly, I have never been patted down nor have I ever witnessed someone being patted down, but they do question you intensely about your past life, where you went to school, where you live, what it is traditional to do on Israeli holidays, where you studied Hebrew, etc. It's VERY intense questioning, every single time. Thirdly, Israeli is a Big Brother kind of country -- everything about you is on the computer so they already know all about you before you come through the ticket line. It is the safest airport in the world (bli aiyen ha'ara).

Given that two Russian jets were taken down by women wearing explosives as fake pregnancies, and the flurry of male islamist attempt to escape wearing burkas, and the couple in Europe attempting to smuggle explosives on board an airline in their baby's bottle, and the baby was with them... need I go on?

Yeah, TSA does a lot of security theatre. Not sure this photo is part of it. The loose, layered smock and inherent social status of a nun is potential capability to carry on proscribed items. I'd guess a hand search is in order if the sister tripped any of the behavior tells or simply rang-the-bell on the metal detector.

Any "class" of passenger that has a defacto no-search status will rapidly be imitated by the bad guys, as the opening examples show. That's why AQ is particularly interested in white-skinned, blue-eyed converts.

I for one, make it a point to thank the TSA guy who wands me when I'm pulled out of the line. I know my intentions, and I'm the only one who possibly could.

Same applies to the good sister.

There should be some kind of photo I.D. issued by the church to identify those of the clergy. A couple of years ago a friend, having left an arm and leg in a rice paddy in Viet Nam and wearing metal prosthesis was pulled aside by TSA for screening. He is a retired military officer - plus a Lutheran minister, carrying identification from the military and the synod. They wanted him to remove his prothetics so they could examine the items! The lunacy never stops.

Oh, forgot to add: some time ago, TSA consulted with Israel on their airport security policies. An article was written about this in the Jerusalem Post. The Israelis point blank told the American TSA folks: PROFILE PEOPLE, NOT THINGS. But then, that would mean looking more closely at weak minded moonbats and guys named Achmed, and it's so much more politically correct to confiscate my freaking NAIL CLIPPERS.

Sister Mary Corporal Punishment, my second grade teacher would have punched her in the face. I remember how bad that hurts.

This is a valid point and has been evidenced by the number of men around the world caught committing crimes or trying to evade capture while wearing a burka.

Detroit Wayne County airport also has a "Religious Reflection Room" in the Northwest Wing of the airport.

Not surprising since Dearbornistan is right outside Detroit.

#185 Thoughtful

Thoughtful, I actually agree with you on this, but it still makes me angry. Here in Israel, Muslims dress up like Haredim all the time and that's how they get Jewish hitchhikers into their cars, etc. So yeah, we have to check everyone because as you say, once one group gets a certain no-check status, the Muslims will start immitating them. Sigh. But I am still disturbed greatly by this picture because it is such a distasteful visual commentary on the results of multiculturalism in America. How did it happen that we place our safety and well-being into the hands of a religious Muslim while a religious Catholic is under suspicion and "needs to be checked" ?

re: #185 Thoughtful

Those are all good points.

They don't change my visceral reaction to the photo, however.

#191 lifeofthemind

What the hell are you talking about? They do too take nail clippers -- they confiscated a nice pair that I had gotten as a gift while at a conference. They said I could leave the security area to go to the airport post office and mail them to myself . . . When I tried to argue about the utter absurdity of that, they pointed to a box full of these nail clippers. Apparently they were catching everyone who had been to the conference.

I fly a lot and I have seen my share of stupid IDIOTS. Whenever a security agent is polite and USES HIS OR HER HEAD, I always say thank you and I never act huffy at them for doing their job. But I do lose my patience when my nail clippers and my lotion and my contact lens solution gets taken. That is just bullhickey.

re: #194 American Jewess In Jerusalem

... How did it happen that we place our safety and well-being into the hands of a religious Muslim while a religious Catholic is under suspicion and "needs to be checked" ?

A very very sad state of affairs, indeed.

re: #196 American Jewess In Jerusalem

Bet they had a knife attached, even a small one. And if you know they will want you to check the lotion why not do it before you get to the security checkpoint? The jihadis delight in the fact that they get us to annoy and alienate our own citizens and supporters.

re: #191 lifeofthemind
That is absolutely true. They gave up when he told them they'd have to help him put the items back on because he was unable to do it by himself. He now refuses to fly and I don't blame him.

At one time at DFW there were huge containers of confiscated nail clippers/nail files/letter openers from briefcases. Ever wonder who had their pick of those items to take home?

We are the laughing stock of the world. This photo says it all and tops off a week where we welcome a terrorist to our elite salons and call for free speech to be stifled so we don't offend him! I weep for the West.

Wonder if the wheelchair parked right to the front is being used by the nun to get around the airport?

The TSA in this instance was absolutely correct. El Al would have frisked the nuns. The fact is that shoe bomber Richard Reid was not an Arab and did not fit any particular profile. What would keep a terrorist from dressing up as a nun? And, finally, terrorists use mules, or unsuspecting people to carry bombs aboard for them. To that extent, there is no profile
for a terrorist and safety is more important than the loss of lives.

Believe #198 means those little clippers with a fold out file. Heck, my house or car keys could do more damage than those things. Don't recall seeing one more than 1 inch or less. I'd best keep quiet on keys or TSA will start taking those tomorrow.

You are irony-impaired, aren't you?

What makes this scene absurd is the context: young men of Middle-Eastern appearance are not to be frisked or even questioned by TSA under threat of civil-rights lawsuit, at least according to Hamas front group CAIR and their tireless cheerleaders, the American Civil Liberties Union.

re: #184 American Jewess In Jerusalem

For those who asked about security practices in the Israeli airport -- first of all, as someone said, they don't allow Muslims in that job. Secondly, I have never been patted down nor have I ever witnessed someone being patted down, but they do question you intensely about your past life, where you went to school, where you live, what it is traditional to do on Israeli holidays, where you studied Hebrew, etc. It's VERY intense questioning, every single time. Thirdly, Israeli is a Big Brother kind of country -- everything about you is on the computer so they already know all about you before you come through the ticket line. It is the safest airport in the world (bli aiyen ha'ara).

I remember not to long ago booking a flight on EL AL and requesting the bulk head seat in Business Class- putting me real close to the cockpit. I was told it was full but after giving them my passport # etc, they called me back and said OK its yours. I actually never gave them my work number but of course they had it any way. I called my wife to tell her i guess they did not consider me a security risk--she pointed out that maybe in case of trouble they considered me expendable. My wife always puts things in perspective.

TSA being a government agency is probably riddled with affirmative action. Those needing such favors come from backgrounds steeped in hatred and dysfunction thereby disabling them to understand subtelties and nuances. Their frame of reference is very limited. From day one they're born into that belief system. A good government job will habilitate them. Yea, right.

Reminds me of the news photograph , taken right after 911, when National Guardsmen where assigned to airports. Security Screener passing a Garrent wand over a National Guardsmen with his arms spred, (with me see far) while holding an M-16 by the sling in his right hand!

LOL! Your wife is a funny woman. :-)

I love that they profile unashamedly and unapologetically in Israel. My husband looks Lebanese, though he is Ashkenazi, so he gets "profiled" all the time. When we first moved here, and encountered security lines everywhere, like the grocery store, mall, bus station, etc, I would breeze on through and he would be stopped every time. Once we were sitting at a bus station on a main street with our black overnight bag, as we were going to visit friends, and a police car pulled up and of all the people there, they motioned only to my husband to come over. He went over and said "Shalom" in his American mid-western drawl and before he even made it to the police car, they waved him away and drove off! They are so astute and can tell from your accent whether you are American, English, Australian, South African, etc. They can tell an Arab accent from a Hebrew accent in a split second, though this is something that I still have trouble with if an Arab is speaking Hebrew -- sometimes that is tough for me to discern. But I can hear the difference between Arabs speaking Arabic and Jews speaking Hebrew.

The police and security personnel at the airports are very well trained. Nothing gets by them. Now my husband has learned to speak and say something, like "how are you" or "shalom" before his turn and then they let him pass. I guess the first self-hating Jewish moonbat who straps a bomb to himself in solidarity with Muslims will put a stop to all that, but thankfully, we haven't had any so far (may we never see the day, please God.)

#219

I should clarify: everyone gets stopped technically speaking, and at places like the bus station, everyone has their handbags/luggage/backpacks searched. But at other security check locations, some people are waved on through quickly after a cursory check while others are searched more thoroughly. That is the distinction I was trying to make.

re: #169 Josephine

You said nothing inflamatory at all.

Personally, I find the image offensive & the TSA PC agenda suicidal. There are days I feel I've entered the Twilight Zone, and pray that at some point I can change the channel. Do you know what I mean?

In all honesty, I don't know for a fact that Israel doesn't hire muslims for airport security. IMHO, it would however be a justifiable policy, whether in Israel or the USA.

"One question here. Are the evil maniacs who have used women and children to conceal their weapons of death capable of using a nun's habit to hide a bomb belt? Since the answer is yes then we have to treat the threat seriously and not carve out special exemptions for any race, class, costume or condition."

Since the answer is "yes", wouldn't it make far more sense to simply keep Islam, and Muslims, out of America?

I agree with others that have said this: The outrage is not that a nun was searched. It's that a member of the most crazy cult of all time is doing the searching.

I haven't flown since before 9/11 but can a passenger request a different screener without causing all sorts of problems? I mean, I wouldn't even get on a plane with this woman and now she's going to detemine if I'm safe or not?

Myself and my entire family always feel safer in Israel in general than in the USA. It is difficult to explain that to people who have not been to Israel often. You do an real good job explaining.

Eh
I got no problems with this. Probably a little too aggressive (screening wise), but better to be safe than sorry.

re: #13 Shug

#221 justamomof4

Justamom, I suppose I don't know that for a "fact" either but I'm fairly certain. I've never seen an Arab working in security. For one thing, it would place those Muslims in jeopardy, because if it were known that they held such an opportune position, they would become a target for terrorists immediately. It is well known that Muslim terrorists threaten non-violent Muslims from the territories who have passes into Israel that if they don't cooperate with terrorist demands to assist in terrorist activities, then their daughter/sister/mother/wife will be raped or another member of their family assaulted or murdered. For the average construction worker, the odds may not be that high that he will fall into this unlucky scenario, but someone (obviously would have to be an "Israeli Arab" rather than a Pali from the territories, the latter which would never qualify to work at the airport) who works in airport security at Ben-Gurion? Oh, boy. That would be irresistable for a terrorist. Remember that these two groups, Palis in the territories and "Israeli Arabs" are the SAME PEOPLE, SAME FAMILIES, just living on different sides of the green line, one having citizenship and one not. A terrorist can threaten an Israeli Arab's sister or cousin who lives in the territories, for example, or he can nab an "Israeli Arab" who comes to visit family in the territories. No one is safe and the threat of horrific violence is always present.

It is a horrible situation.

Facts are facts, most terrorists are young Muslim males with brown skin and names like Mohammed, Abdul or whatever. In regards to any white or Black Muslim converts, they should be profiled and jacked up twice as much as a born Muslim.

I would trust a Muslim convert about as far as I can throw one.

Hijab Vs. Habit

Is this a reprisal for yesterday's address by the Pope?

Now that's an angle I had not considered...

I flew El Al out of Los Angeles. It was a very intense security screening process. They had a team of people which came out, quizzed you, and then checked you in. There was no messing around. It was very efficient. It was the quickest check in process at the airport I've ever had. They had their security down. It would be very easy to detect a terrorist, criminal, etc.

So if a small airline can do it, why can't the united states airlines provide that level of security. It's not hard to figure out who the terrorists are.

PS, El Al was the best airline I have ever flown. It was modern, with plenty of movies, good food, clean, and everyone was polite. Plus the hot Jewish women.

I don't know about weapons, but for a while it was very common ( or so I have heard ) for drug runners to dress as priests and nuns. The more traditional nuns habit has a lot of loose fabric to cover packages taped to the skin, and back then fewer border patrol people would suspect and/or search a religious person.

We should not forget that - while weapons/terror is perhaps the first thing WE think about at the airport checkpoints - they ARE still checking for sundry other violations of the law.

PS: There are any number of real nuns that *I* wouldn't trust. I don't think the Catholic Worker is quite into suicide bombs ( yet ) but I have heard stories of currency smuggling (CASH for 'social justice' - and we know what that means! ) so I wouldn't want nuns-as-a-group to be given a 'walk'.

If it was me being searched, I'd say "while your down there.."

re: #101 Egfrow

re: #78 Sharmuta
Most of the TSA Muslims are women, especially in the NE USA because other Muslim women travelers.

If the Muslims were made to travel only one direction (which one?) there would be no need to have Muslims security staff.

The picture reminds me of an old yet relevant joke:

how do we know the nun wasn't deliberately targeted because she's obviously Christian?

Wow. This photo says it all. Everything that made this nation great is being destroyed by the 5th column within. That especially includes our large and growing Moslem population. Why is this happening? And don't forget people, that it all has the weight of the law behind it. It comes in the package of multiKultural drivel and diversity.

A country so constructed has never existed in the entire history of human experience. Yet the dummy's, the mostly white liberal idiots that is, are championing unto death, the deadly notion that we can all just get along.

I guess when white Christian Europe, white Christian America, and maybe Australia are all "Diverse", the world will be a better place. OK. Then what nation will defend the rights of non-minorities?

Thank the moslems among us for such screenings. Thank the leftists among us for moslems being hired to do them.

My 78 year old Mother (German/French/Irish decent) has been frisked and taken to secondary security TWICE this year alone...that is how ridiculous this PC crap has gotten...

What have we come to?! This is disgusting. If it weren't for Muslims like her and her relatives, we wouldn't be going through this b** s*** at the airport.

re: #230 American Jewess In Jerusalem
Your insight is very much appreciated. It is a sad situation, but one of their own making - thanks to the hateful doctrine their prophet preserves.

This nonsense, my friends, is why I refuse to fly. I will not be treated like a terrorist. I am a patriot. I have carried arms in the service of this nation. I have faced down armed thugs in defense of the innocent. I have stepped toward harm so that the innocent could escape danger. I would do it again.

I now am in a job that requires a bit of travel. I will NOT fly. I bill my employer only for a reimbursement equal to the cheapest coach flight available rather than the full mileage traveled.

If the airlines and/or the govt. want me to fly they can change my mind by simply allowing me to carry my duty weapon. I can pass their security clearance needs. Traveling police should be allowed to carry. Marine on leave...bring your sidearm. Everybody in the plane would feel safer.

I've always found out that scanning a nun becomes habit forming...

I wonder if she's so diligent when inspecting fellow members of the umma. It should be obvious that if a Muslim terrorist is going to get something dangerous on a plane, Muslim security guards are the likely means by which that will happen. But I forgot, "moderate" Muslims would never help "radical" Muslims expand Islam's power, as the Koran instructs Muslims to do, assuming you could actually tell which of your prospective Muslim employees is "moderate".

I think I'm on the verge of tears over this one, Charles. This really, really upsets me to no end to see a Catholic nun submitting to an inspection from a Muslim like that.

Personally I don't think its as funny as it seems. If I were an Islamic Jihadist, I would be working overtime to find Dhimmis that seem to be above suspicion... dhimmis who were willing to carry out Jihad for me because their delusions of compassion, tolerance and interest in peace, love and understanding make them easy marks ( i.e., easily brainwashed). And that includes nuns, mothers with babies, journalists, U.S. Senators, etc. As far as I'm concerned NO ONE is above suspicion.

metro sucks, big time. they were so rude to my 93 year old father, who was in a wheelchair just to try to make it through the airport. they wouldn't let me help take his belt off. it made me sick. another time i walked through the metal detector with 2 batteries in my pocket. it didn't go off because it wasn't ON, and when i said something they got mad and waved me through, obviously irritated.

My sense of irony is fine:

Your comment:

While CAIR as a Hamas front would like the above to be the case, it most definitely is not. All I said was there is no standard profile for a terrrorist and even El Al and the Israelis agree on this. I did not say that Middle Eastern males should not be frisked because CAIR wants to prevent this; of course they should. If you think frisking the nuns was wrong, you are unaware of how anti-terrorism security works. The fact that TSA agent has a hijab may be ironic to you, but I seriously doubt she does not undergo a security frisking herself by the TSA. Yes, frisk Arabs, but frisk everyone. The hijab is just a stupid statement by the wearer.

As for the remark about Rachel Corrie: She was not a terrorist who carried a gun, but a human shiled for terrorists who do. Her activities helped smuggle weapons into Gaza that killed Jewish children in Sderot. She was a terrorist enabler who called terrorists "martyrs."
