In some dank dark cave reclines Osama Bin Laden and Al Zawahiri feet up on a rpg rocket launcher smiling at the latest ludicrous TSA images from USA airports around the country. You've seen them. Little kids, grandmothers, salesmen, the elderly, wheelchair bound and now this...a nun being frisked by an agent. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't recall any recent episodes at airports involving nuns and explosives. I guess in this case, Sister Holy Water's rosary beads set off the alarm. Good grief. Everybody's "junk" is on the line in those lines.
As far as I know, all known terrorist activities brought upon this country while in this country since 9/11, have been perpetrated by "olive-skinned" folks. They are hell bent on killing us....anytime...anywhere. We all think and know this but it's not "pc" to act upon it or say anything about it. (Ask Juan Williams about this reality.) So hell with decorum when our safety and well being is at risk...here's my simple solution to the TSA madness at airports: screen everybody as is required but reserve full body scans or searches on those "swarthy" individuals who fit the profile. And Homeland Security and CIA have profiles whether they publicly admit it or not. So cut the crap TSA, quit wasting our time and target those whom you know are the bad guys.
I know the ACLU and the Justice Department won't like the targeted search approach but we're at war. I know I'll be vilified by some you reading this. Extraordinary times calls for extraordinary measures. But is a full body search on a robed nun an extraordinary measure that is needed now? I don't think so. I doubt she is hiding John Rambo under the layers.
If this folly grows in other sectors of our society, the diminishment of this great country will continue unabated. And isn't that what Osama and his band of psychopaths want?
So you don't think there can be American terrorists? What about the Timothy McVeighs, the Ted Kaczynskis, Eric Robert Rudolph, the Columbine kids? You don't think they pose a threat to our security? In this world, with all the technology and cosmetic changes, you can't trust anyone. One of the beautiful things about this country is how diverse we are and to single out a whole race because of their skin color would bring us all the way back to the 50s and 60s. As we wait for newer technology to detect these "body" bombs, we need to use methods on everybody that will protect our country. Granted, I sometimes believe those security guards can get a little too touchy feely but I would much rather stand in line for an extra hour or two than have hundreds of innocent lives lost due to some crazy psychopath of any color.
