Here is my question.

When will it come out that pedophiles are now working as TSA agents so they have a valid reason to rub an 8 year old boys junk?

Also...you know you can carry matches on an airplane. Finger nail clippers, no way! Knitting needles, don't even think about it. Matches, sure, us smokers gotta lite up someway don't we?

TSA is the agency of the federal government that I most want dismantled. It only started around 2001.

It's the perfect embodiment of what is wrong with government. Bloated, completely ineffectual, not accountable to anyone, and strictly harmful to citizens. The bureaucrats who run it are completely incompetent.

They are worse than the DMV. They should be the poster child for anyone who hates bad government.

Muslim women may be exempt from TSA pat downs and body scanners

http://www.thoughtsfromaconservativemom.com/?p=15430

Quote :

"The Blaze reports: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has issued a travel notice to Muslim airline passengers, warning them that new regulations from the Transportation Security Administration violate certain religious rules. According to CAIR, the TSA’s new “enhanced pat down” policy should be limited to searching only around Muslim women’s head and neck if they are wearing a hijab and that Muslims objecting to the enhanced full-body scans have the right to request the pat-down procedure be done in a private place. In February, the Figh Council of North America, a group of Islamic scholars, issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, that full-body scanners violate Islamic law. “It is a violation of clear Islamic teaching that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” the ruling states. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of the faith. The Qu’ran has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.” According to the Detroit Free Press, CAIR endorsed the fatwa. When asked if Muslim women would indeed be given an exemption from TSA security screening procedures, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has avoided answering a question about whether hijab-wearing Muslim women would be given the same security X-rays – or full-body pat-downs – as other passengers. The issue of the invasion of privacy created by the newly enhanced procedures – passengers are given a choice of an X-ray that essentially reveals their nude body for a TSA agent to review or a full-body pat-down that includes touching private body areas – has been raging for the last few days. It was at a news conference that Napolitano was asked by CNSNews.com, “On the pat-downs, CAIR has recommended that Muslim women wearing hijabs refuse to go through the full body pat-downs before board plans. Will you insist that they do go through full body pat-downs before boarding planes?” Napolitano didn’t answer the question. Instead she talked about the need to keep powders and gels and liquids off passenger jets. What she did say was, “We are doing what we need to do to protect the traveling public and adjustments will be made where they need to be made.” She continued, “With respect to that particular issue, I think there will be more to come.” WND reported several days ago how CAIR, the Islamic group that was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror-funding case, was telling Muslim women how to instruct Transportation Security Administration agents at airport checkpoints. Floyd Reports opines: Muslim women will likely opt for the not-very-invasive security pat-down, because most consider airports’ high-image body scans a violation of Islamic Shari’a law. CNS News adds, “In February, the Figh Council of North America, a group of Islamic scholars, issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, that full-body scanners violate Islamic law.” So, Muslim women will not be subject to a full body scan or a pat-down on much of their elaborately concealed bodies. Feeling secure yet? Add this to the growing proof that political correctness is not merely totalitarian but suicidal. The president made an exception to airline security protocol big enough to drive a jihad through — and applied it only to the adherents of Islam. Roman Catholic nuns can be groped en masse, but Obama rushed to defend the dignity of Muslim women. Luckily, Muslim terrorists have no history of using female suicide bombers or hiding explosives in their underwear. So, as Laura Ingraham has commented, if you want to avoid an intrusive screening, just wear a hijab. "

I would like to propose the use of porn stars as part of the new TSA pat down procedures. Hell of a lot cheaper than expensive machines and they have enough experience to know whats what during a pat down and who wouldn't want that option? It would make the air travel experience a lot better, plus if a Terrorist does get past TSA, we just send in a bunch of naked chicks with double D's on hand to distract them...

There should be some sort of screening process for pilots.

If you're willing to give control of the plane over to a guy with fingernail clippers, you can't be a pilot.

11/22/2010 12:06:26 AM

^ he's an idiot because he's basing the entirety of his fear based on a headline written by someone who is intentionally trying to misrepresent reality for the purposes of calling Obama a muslim-loving terrorist. It's bog-standard propaganda, and it's sad that an allegedly college-educated person would fall for it.

It's sad I even have to explain this.

Not to mention the qualifier "may be" gives them carte blanche to make any unsubstantiated claim they want to make, which is precisely what they've done.

I don't see how there supposedly wasn't an basis for it. So, obviously that's just your opinion. From what I gathered, it could happen, it could not happen. Which would be the same as "may be." It could go both ways.

And PS - you weren't "explaining" anything. You're just ranting.

11/22/2010 12:25:12 AM

I can't believe reasonably smart people are defending this bullshit. Typical Glenn Beck style fear-mongering. Raising wild hypotheticals for the purpose of whipping the ignorant into a frenzy.

11/22/2010 12:26:12 AM

Ok you obviously don't understand the meaning of "may." Your point is subjective, not factual.

You seem to be an insufferable douche.

11/22/2010 12:27:20 AM

^ but that's the point... just because you throw "may" into a statement doesn't mean you can say what you want without any good reason.

"The world may end tomorrow" is a true and valid statement. But it won't, and there's no good evidence for it.

"muslims may be exempt" is true, but there is likewise no good reason to believe that given any available information.

It's not hard to understand. Don't be so stupid.

11/22/2010 12:29:30 AM

It's dishonest to say something may happen when it will, in fact, not happen.

11/22/2010 12:30:10 AM

That is one of the most retarded arguments I have ever read. You can't just throw the word "may" into everything. "I may have a baby tomorrow." Not so. "You may be a dumbshit." Ok, I can see that.

Like I said, your thoughts on that article are subjective and I don't think it's fair for you to just randomly call people stupid because they posted something that had the word "conservative" in it. In my opinion, you're just as bad as the extremist conservatives. The article wasn't anything spectacular nor was it anything outrageous. Calm down, broseph.
