#1 Aw-fer-gawd's sake!!!No search, no fly. Flying is a privilege--if they want to live in a fundamentalist society, move back to Soddy, Paki-land or where ever. Start with the lawfare-yers. I'll pitch in on all the one-way tickets. However, on the scanners not being able to detect plastic explosives, I really think dogs should patrol every airport. They are much more reliable. Sitting at our departure gate, saw dogs 'hit' on a young couple dressed as Amish but the woman had makeup and the man an IPod, and escorted out by security. They struck us an odd couple and had been discussing how traditional dress such as a habit or veil could be a disguise.

#2 IMHO the TSA has overstayed its welcome and overstepped the boundaries of good sense. The TSA has yet to stop one terrorists! So far they have managed to collect a mountain of personal care products that never should have been taken away. The most STUPID practice I have ever seen is having the pilots go through screening. Aren't they in control of the plane? Also if he wants to carry a few extra ounces of hand lotion or conditioner WHO FRIGGIN CARES! I also saw the TSA pull out two GIs (in uniform) for additional screening. Lets go back to the metal detector and keep our nail clippers.

#3 ANYONE can wear a burqa or other type of Muslim bodybag to the airport. Anyone at all. Having a planeload of passengers present themselves to the TSA dressed this way would be a better protest than a boycott.

#4 That settles it. I'm getting a pilots license and flying myself everywhere I need to get.

Fuck the TSA and the goddamn government pencil dicks.

#5 Barack Obamas Homeland Security Czar, Janet Napolitano, is considering changes to the procedures to address the issues raised by CAIR.

That's it? Shouldn't an article with such an absurd headline have at least a quote from someone at DHS? This is Joke Journalism.

#6 Rep. Ron Paul has introduced HR 6416 to remove legal immunity from TSA gropers:
its one paragraph long. It removes the immunity from anybody in the federal government that does anything that you or I cant do. If you cant grope another person and if you cant x-ray people and endanger them with possible x-rays, you cant take nude photographs of individuals, why do we allow the government to do it? We would go to jail. Hed be immediately arrested if an individual citizen went out and did these things, and yet we just sit there calmly and say, Oh, theyre making us safe.

#8 I've been doing my level best not to fly for the past 10 years (and succeeding), but in case my luck runs out, does anyone know where to buy an inexpensive burkha? Do they come in sizes?

#9 Just buy a surplus KKK outfit and dye it black. No sweatskis. Truncate the pointed hood and you have a budget burkha.

#10 But where does one buy a KKK outfit, Paul?

I've lived in the South all my life and I have no clue where to get one.

#14 Thanks, #13 Charlie. I think what I'm looking for is called an abaya. Sure as hell ain't going for the actual burkha with the radiator cover for the face.

I e-mailed the link to myself so I won't lose it. Just in case, ya' know. :-D

#15 Barbara, let me know how it works out. If they come in XXL size, I may get one myself - the full burqha. (Even though I'm a guy.)

Why should only Muslim women be the only ones exempt?

#16 Will do, Rambler, but I'll only get one if I'm told I need to fly (for business - can't afford it for pleasure right now).

The web site did say they're pretty big - they're made to go over clothing. They also said to call them about sizing issues. (Though if you call you should probably tell them it's for a woman; something tells me they don't have much of a sense of humor about their wares.)
