Well I Certainly Feel Safer

FoxNews is reporting that TSA has changed its policies and now only Senior TSA officials will be allowed to pat-down three-year olds. Muslim women however, will only be be subjected to a pat-down around the head and neck areas and will not be using the full-body scan method because it violates their religious beliefs. No word on who gets to fondle the nuns and your grandmother.

You know what violates MY religious beliefs? Killing innocent people in the name of pedophile prophet.

TSA handcuffs dangerous man at Seattle Airport

We are in the very, very, best of hands.......

Michael Yon, America's premier independent war reporter and genuine hero was arrested (as per any definition I can find) by our The Stupid Agency aka America's Security Theater troop.
From his Facebook Page:

Got arrested at the Seattle airport for refusing to say how much money I make. (The uniformed ones say I was not "arrested", but they definitely handcuffed me.)

Michelle Malkin and Mudville Gazette are both on the story. Gateway Pundit even has a follow up from Michael Yon.

Of course, Laughing Wolf lets us know what he thinks about it....

What Exactly "Worked"?

Family Security Matters

What exactly “worked?”
An expert source close to FSM breaks down the AP article that describes Napolitano’s claim of success:

quote:

1. "Homeland security head: The security system worked"

Nothing we did prevented that plane from being blown up. This was a case of a bad guy fumbling the ball on the one yard line through the end zone for a touchback. If the security system worked, then the system STINKS. Either Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's detonator was bad or else it was a case of "you need to be smarter than the equipment you're using" and he screwed up. But if not for their screw-up, we'd have had a U.S. airliner blown up and crashing over a populated area on Christmas with hundreds killed.

quote:

2. "The father of the man accused of attempting to blow up the jetliner told U.S. officials in Nigeria he was concerned about his son's extreme religious views. However, Napolitano says there was no specific information to place Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on a no-fly list."

This is a byproduct of refusing to recognize the religious component integral to the enemies we face. The fact that the father informed us that his son was a Jihadi wasn't enough for our PC system to keep him out of the U.S. This is the modern-day equivalent to allowing members of the SS into America because their membership in the SS was not sufficient specific information to exclude them.

quote:

3. Napolitano says that within 60 to 90 minutes of the incident all 120 flights that were in the air at time were contacted to make sure the attempted bombing did not extend beyond the flight to Detroit.

How were those other air crews supposed to know? Did they announce over the intercom, "Any terrorists on board with an explosive device strapped to your crotch, please raise your hand"?

Ace of Spades wonders

… what the hell it's going to look like when the system doesn't work, by the Obama Administration's lights. If this is what they deem a "success," Good Lord in Heaven, I tremble for what will come that provokes them to concede "mistakes were made."

If Napolitano is going to make such idiotic claims as “the system worked” when it clearly failed, then no American should take to the skies until she has resigned. And the sooner the better.

Another One I Wish I Had Written

In order to survive as a nation of people claiming American values and ethics, we must stop political correctness as a way to temporarily appease those who would kill us in a heartbeat. It’s time we deal in reality and speak honestly and accurately about the facts in each situation. Face it, you cannot prevent someone from getting their feelings hurt when you speak the truth.

If America is to survive…and I pray to God that it does, we must enforce boundaries that define us as Americans. If we don’t enforce American values and just bend the truth to make people feel good…very soon America will become impotent before the world.

I believe that God didn’t make a mistake when he brought together the forefathers of America. These men were tested and from the fire of the American Revolution a new country was born. Today we can perpetuate our America or we can remember it as a distant dream that didn’t last.

I, for one, believe that God did not make America as a mistake. And, from that belief in America, the truth must be spoken as it is in reality. When intimidation or threats confront an American citizen or an American ideal, we must stand together and hold the boundary set by our American forefathers. In truth words mean very little. How we act reveals what we really believe.

Security Theater

Security Theater. What a great name for what occurs in our nation's airports. I saw it in action when National Guardsmen were assigned to airports with M-16's. To do.....what? Shoot whom? Fire high powered armor piercing rounds in a crowded area against what target?
It was all a sham to "make the public feel safe."

While traveling on active duty, I was never pulled out for secondary attention while traveling alone, if I used my driver's license for ID. But every time I used my military ID, I was pulled out of line for more attention. Hmmmm....could it be that I was, then, a known law-abiding citizen that would not cause problems, yet I filled a quota of passengers that had to be checked? We'll never know.

Jeffery Goldberg broke the law. He broke the law many, many times. He admits it. And proved that the TSA is a failure:

Airport security in America is a sham—“security theater” designed to make travelers feel better and catch stupid terrorists. Smart ones can get through security with fake boarding passes and all manner of prohibited items—as our correspondent did with ease.

“Counter­terrorism in the airport is a show designed to make people feel better,” he said. “Only two things have made flying safer: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers.”

Read this and feel safe that the same people that designed THIS system now want to run the financial systems and take over the medical systems of the USA.

Don't you feel safer?
