It didn’t take long for Janet Napolitano to consider giving a politically correct minority what they demand.
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.
The organization issued a travel advisory for Muslims over the procedure. 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.
Don’t be fooled by the above language. CAIR seldom “requests”.
“I Screen Myself”
The government is dangerously close to delegitimizing their granted authority. While they subject American citizens to security procedures which entails the denigration of individual dignity, they willingly enable and protect the invasion of our nation by foreign nationals, including potential terrorists and other security threats.
The invasion of a nation by foreign nationals is not a civil matter, but one of defending the integrity and citizens of a sovereign state. Their actions, like that of foreign combatants, should be subject to military jurisdiction, and should be prosecuted by the defense department.
It is telling that American citizens are considered to pose the greater threat to their wellbeing.
That said, let CAIR make their demands. The accommodation granted to members of the only demographic which has actually committed acts of terrorism, will serve to expose the true nature of our civil servants and their supporters.
If it’s PC, TSA and Janet will cave. BET on it!

Let me get this straight?
Your average grandmother will have to get felt up before getting on a plane, but Osama Bin Laden’s wife gets to pat herself down.
Unbelievable!
Although I stopped riding on commercial aircraft that are poorly maintained by foreign crews who can’t read the service manual English, said planes too often being piloted and crewed by drunks, if I do have to ride on one for some reason, I think I shall just wear a burqa and be waived on through after patting myself down.
How about *everybody* show up in burqas?
a friend jokingly (?) said that if she didn’t have family to worry about(or if she was willing to be shot) she’d consider this…
Paint paper towel rolls red. Tape them together. Add some wires, and a small digital alarm clock. Strap this contraption about her waist. Dress in voluminous robes and burqa. Purchase airline ticket. Go through security, and demand that only her head and neck be touched, (and maybe do her own pat-down?). Proceed to gate. While standing in the middle of the concourse, remove burqa and roomy robes. Stand there in the ‘sterile’ area, looking like she is wired to take the entire place out.
Wait for people to realize that while TSA was checking out the ‘emperor’ without clothes, the ‘over-dressed peasant’ got through. Because while our PC government is perfectly willing to trample all over the civil rights of millions of people highly unlikely to blow things up, they go out of their way to not even THINK about touching the civil rights of a group of people who have produced more than a few crazies who are more than willing, usually extremely eager, to blow things up.
Considering the lengths they have proven willing to go, I would agree to getting scanned AND getting the ‘love-pat’ down, if only I could be assured that everyone in the ‘known’ suspicious group was getting not only the scan AND the pat-down, but a cavity search, as well.
Yes, I said it…the KNOWN suspicious group.
(What was it that Ann Coulter once said? “When there is a one-hundred percent chance that the next terrorist attack will be made by a Muslim extremist, it’s no longer a profile, it’s a description of the suspect.”)
