TSA pat-downs.

[Byte Stryke]

How can you be charged with a felony? What charges would you be brought up on?

Interfering with a federal official in the course of their duties er some shit.

If that wont stick I'm Sure they will find some other ambiguous bullshit to stick you with.

You give the government an inch, and they will take a mile.
Do I have any answers about solving the problem of airport security, while keeping everbody happy: I'm sorry to say that I don't.
But I believe the problem with the private parts patdowns by the TSA goons is not going to last very long, because of the public furor and it's already in the courts with two pilots of a private air company challenging the patdowns.
Radio talk show host, and White House reporter, Lester Consolveing challenged W.H. press sec. GIBBS with the question that why homosexuals should be allowed as TSA Patdowners. Les said on his talk show last night "that homosexuals should be screened out with investigations in their history and on their employment application forms."
Les also said that "I don't want to be groped by a homosexual."
I'm against racial or cultural profiling by airport screeners. If we had that system, all the white people would freely walk thru security, while the rest: blacks, hispanics, Middle Eastern types would be subject to more advanced searches.

You forgot the Asian! The model minority BTW.. by definition middle eastern are Caucasian.

The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid[1]) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia

Yep, just look at Jesus, he was TOTALLY a white guy!

Yeah, Ron Paul also pointed this out and I concur.
I believe that if anyone should be excempted from any sort of screening its the pilots. They have control of the plane already and we give them a gun. Where's the logic?

So let's see... anyone that "looks" like a Muslim right?? Okay, look for long bushy beards, very long shirts with pot bellies, they might be hiding explosives. Do any of these guys look like they might fit that description?

So do we just broad brush anyone who looks like they're from the Middle East all the way to Burma? There are many people who are of Middle Eastern descent that you wouldn't even know unless you asked, not even their names give them away. And what of someone who is Israeli but they look Arabic? Are we to also curb the right of law abiding Muslim Americans or anyone who happens to be the wrong shade of tan? People can also change their "race" by clothing, hair, facial hair, etc.

Let's not forget about John Walker Lindh, sounds like a good ol' boy's kinda name. Till he decided to go to Afghanistan and oppose the US troops. The point is a professional terrorist will do what they will and exploit weaknesses vs. a complete noob who's just guzzling religious rhetoric from a fanatical group and fails at their mission. Don't forget that just because an enemy is known to use one well known tactic that it is the only tactic they have. Terrorists are terrorists regardless of what religion/cause they hide behind.

Government and logic aren't usually used as synonyms.

MB888, do you mean Asian as in east Asians, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean? Or are you including south Asians, such as those from India, Bangladesh, Nepal? Both tend to be called the model minority. I fall into the latter half hence why the topic kinda fires me up more so than others.

Maybe just start Muslim Air, non muslims can't fly theirs and they can't fly any other.

Heard Virgin air is going to change it's name.

Yeah! You're right. With names like Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi it would've been impossible to guess that they were secretly Islamic terrorists. I mean, come on!

As an aside, why the fuck do we give green cards to people from countries like Saudi Arabia and Yemen? Did the British bring Boers to London by the boatload during the Boer Wars? It doesn't make sense.

[Epyon]

Anton, yes these people had Muslim names, but what if say they chose to use a Hindu name on fake IDs? Some of them could also pass as being from India vs. being Middle Eastern.
