[Mike man]

oh well...they don't have to fly.

 

[Going2Baja]

Sounds like we've solved the problem.....Body Scanners at all airports and the extreemists won't fly. Perfect!!

Baja.

Actually...I think the body scanner is BS. Everything we do in this country with regards to airport security is always reactionary. We don't seem to be on the offensive.

Guys with liquiud explosives in England? We can't bring liquids through security..and for a time, couldn't even buy drinks inside the secure area. Then, we have Richard Reid, the "shoe bomber". then all pax have to remove thier shoes when going through security.

Now, since the underwear bomber, our illustrious TSA now says they are gonna have undercover folks in the secure areas looking for "suspicious" looking passengers. What the hell is that? How much you wanna bet that a hajib-wearing muslim won't be considered "suspicious" looking enough?

And, what is really important, what are the security folks in Yemen doing to comply with what the US wants ? Or in Amsterdam ? How many countries are going along with what the tSA wants in terms of security?

Sadly, in this country, we have what can best be described as, "security theater" ...I know it...you know it...and...they know it.

I ain't even gonna read that article, 'cause I am sure I could write it already freestyle.

Check out the investigation of CAIR by congress as a result of the PRIVATE CITIZEN's undercover investigation, which was the source of the book, "Muslim Mafia."

Nothing to see mhea. It is chock full of "isolated incidents" and is merely the work of racists for racists. Ya that's the ticket. Go back to your "reality" TV.

So...they are right? or wrong? I'm confused...what are you saying?

 

[Anonymous2]

And what islamic law is being violated??

 

[BoilerUP]

And what islamic law is being violated??

The one where you can smuggle bombs and/or sharp objects onboard with the intent of mass-killing innocents without threat of being detained by law enforcement?

I'm pretty sure the 4th amendment was written to protect ourselves from this stuff.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

 

[GuppyWN]

The United States of America doesn't operate under Islamic Law.

Gup

 

[ATA For Now!]

The United States of America doesn't operate under Islamic Law.

Gup

...yet...

We keep trying to be "PC" with our security. Enough already. Take the bus if you don't like it.

 

[SMcC]

Flying is optional

 

[Just thinking]

Send them through the line of contraband sniffing pigs... followed by the pig skin glove pat down.... then the pork rind crunch walk and upon completion of all of the above they can then have a seat in the smooth vietnamese pot bellied pig leather couch to await their aircraft. Free Smithfield's barbecue for all.

If random drug testing doesn't violate the 4th, then this doesn't violate the 4th either. You don't have to submit to the scan, just don't board an airplane.

 

[BEECH-SLAPPED]

Ironic how their religion won't allow them to use body scanners, yet their religion that is the REASON we have them to begin with!

 

[Whataburger]

In addition, I think every flight in the US should be a "Pork and Porn" flight with a Bethlaham Pointer instead of Mecca pointer. No burcas and turbines allowed.

 

[airgator]

That was easy

 

[aewanabe]

Wow. Using aircraft as WMD and trying to blow up 255 innocent people at Christmas violates my Christian law. Luckily there's still Amtrak and Greyhound..

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

No burcas and turbines allowed.

Yeah! Pistons only! Bring back the Connies!

Funny how no one is passing any fatwas about not sneaking explosives onto airplanes or killing innocent people, but body scanners warrant an immediate religious decree.
