Napolitano considering allowing Muslim women to pat themselves down at Airports!
"With the holidays fast approaching, the Transportation Safety Agency Security Administration has announced new security procedures requiring passengers selected for secondary screening to go through a machine that produces a full body scan producing a nude but grainy, black and white image. Passengers choosing to opt out of the scan will face a full body pat.
"The head of Homeland Security has indicated the government is considering the request of an Islamic organization that has suggested Muslim women be allowed to pat themselves down during a full body search that is part of new enhanced procedures at airports."

From the article:
In the advisory CAIR advises all Muslims to contact them and file a complaint with the TSA if they experience any “disturbing incidents†with the new procedures and they feel they have been unfairly singled out for screening.
It goes on to make special recommendations for Muslim women wearing a hijab covering their face. The advisory says women are to inform the officer they are only to pat down the head and neck and says “They should not subject you to a full-body or partial body pat-down.†They also recommend that women should be permitted to pat themselves down and “have the officers perform a chemical swipe of your hands.â€
Barack Obama’s Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, is considering changes to the procedures to address the issues raised by CAIR.
The only thing acceptable CAIR on this will be capitulation from "Big Sis", and we'll see it happen.

1. Complete crap.
It even talks a woman wearing the full body covering. That is something I would be frightened of seeing. Who knows who or what is under the coverings! I don't give a damn about somebody's stupid religion either.
Racist Muslim hater.

9. Exactly what it says - changes that will address their concerns.
No more, no less. It doesn't mean that she's considering THEIR proposal. Just changes that would address their concerns.

11. They want Muslim women to be able to pat themselves down.
What kind of other changes will address their concerns?

5. That's a rather hyperbolic headline
with nothing of substance in the article to back it up.

8. CAIR must have clout that the US flying public doesn't. Or lawyers. Or both.
They have a sympathizer in The White Mosque. :fuelfire:

10. Well I sure as hell would hope so.
Because if Muslims are allowed to pat themselves down, while everybody else is patted down by TSA agents, the whole idea for these pat downs will be stupid beyond belief, IMO.
Wait, what? That almost sounds like you believe Muslims should be singled out.

15. They should change the name from pat downs to frisks
A rose by any other name.......

So, if I wear Muslim garb to the airport... I can feel myself up in public? Awesome.
Seriously though, what good are rules if you make special exceptions for certain types of people. As a white woman, I am offended. And this is just racist. ;)
-
Would that be racial profiling then? We'd become the victims if they allow the throwbacks wearing the hijabs/burkas to pat down themselves. To even think that they should is stupid and crazy. But, then again, that is CAIR.

WTF? what about the rest of us? :banghead:

We will continued to be felt up and groped by the TSA. The Muslims will walk through unmolested with a note from their uncle Osama*, saying they are trustworthy.
*My Google spellchecker caught the name Osama, and it's first suggestion is Obama. :rotf:
-
Screw that! I sent the story to Drudge.

This article proves to me that Democrats are terrified of Muslims. And if this does pass, Christians should demand the same, as married Christian women should not submit to getting groped by strangers either. Then Orthodox Jews.. then men, since the TSA will be discriminating based on sex...etc etc etc until this stupid new policy is done.
Speaking of....
Have any of the media anywhere mentioned that the Democrats who are in charge of all of this were scremaing bloody murder because they felt the Patriot Act was overreaching - and now most of the primitives are okay with a policy that mostly violates innocent people.

Oh, cali rears her ugly head after months of MIA. Maybe she knows Primitive of the Year is in the offing and will make up for lost time. She needs to hurry!

55. We've decided to lock this thread.
This is a right-wing smear and the source posted is not a reliable source.

Why don't we just have Muslims only fly. The rest of us can take the bus. Then we don't need any airline security. Let them blow up all the planes.

It's not so much the planes that are the worry, but what they would crash into after they explode.

If you do, can i watch?
:naughty:
:lmao:

I got an idea. Muslims can drive....in their own damn cars. Don't want to take a chance on them blowing up a bus.

To hell with you...you white non believer. /sarc

So all I have to do to opt out is show up at the airport dressed in a bag? Problem solved.

What in the name of heaven will TSA do when the terrorists males dress up in those over bountiful flowing robes with small machine guns strapped to their legs.? How is anyone to know the sex of anyone under all that clothing.
Then I have been wondering about the Sect of Jews in NY and elsewhere that has by tradition their wives shave their heads and wear a wig in public. Are these woman going to be forced in public to remove their wig and show off their bald heads------?
The photo of a Catholic Nun being felt up in public by a woman of Muslim tradition wearing the head scarf infuriated me.
Then the trials of the 3 year old girl being subjected to having a stranger feel her up-------Don't we teach our kids at that age to NEVER allow a stranger to touch them.
Wasn't there a society at one time that made different rules for some citizens, made some citizens feel that the OTHERS were superior to them, gave out rights to some and began to slowly take away the rights of others.?

Still is. It is called islam.
It just boggles the mind that the only people to have any of this BS at airports are muslims and then they will be given an opt out. As Bruno says, "If you want to fly don't be muslim."
