…what’s to stop me (or everyone else) from claiming that I’m a Muslim when I reach the scanner? Not like I’ve got my religion printed on my ID or anything.

…for discrimination.

Totally unconstitutional that I have to go through that scanner and a Muslim doesn’t. The Muslim is the reason the scanner is there in the first place.

Let’s take it to court.

they must laugh themselves damned near to death!
That line about all Muslims not being terrorists, but every terrorist in recent history being Muslim is so honestly obvious that it boggles the mind that this kind of decision can even be considered.
You’re a muslim, and you don’t want to allow the exact same scan as everyone one else has to go through?
OK, but you cannot get on the airplane if you don’t.
Period, end of story.

Two things about this– first, it’s run on the same idiotic ‘random’ harassment model as everything else they do. So, when Granny heads off to see her grandkids, in she goes. The 8 year old headed to Disneyland? Ditto. And so on. The Fruit of Kaboom guy? What are the odds? And the second thing is, you can refuse and take the pat down instead. Still obnoxious but not as obnoxious as being digitally undressed, at least to me…

I can’t help laughing my head off.

The “Big Tent” analogy isn’t the correct one…the correct one is a MAGNET…we need to be a MAGNET that draws these independents in who are sick and tired of what’s going on in Washington—Fred Thompson

If you don’t like the security procedures, DON’T FLY! Drive yourself, or take a bus, or the train!

If you insist upon flying but don’t want to deal with security, spend the money on a private aircraft.

Don’t have the money? Ah, well. Your problem.

Of course, I’m of the mind that we’d be safest if we just handed everybody a .357 magnum loaded with frangibles as they board the aircraft. Because who’s going to be stupid enough to start something when they’re flying with 150 other people armed to the teeth?

Essentially a CAIR-endorsed Fatwa issued by the Figh Council.

From Detroit’s Free Depressed:

“The Fiqh Council [Fiqh Council of North America – a body of Islamic scholars] is based in Plainfield, Ind., where it is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and advises Muslims on sharia, or Islamic law…

.. In its fatwa, the council said the use of body scanners “is against the teachings of Islam, natural law.”

Anyone have the source material on this?

If this materializes, I will never fly again, which is fine with me. I’ll just end up enjoying the scenery I otherwise would not have seen in God’s great country of America.

Jesus Christ, God our Father and the Holy Ghost bless America.

Sharia law being implemented/enforced in the USA.

So what is the point of waiting in a long line to get body scanned?

The people who get scan are not the one’s doing the destruction and muslims who avoid the scans are the ones doing the destruction.

When is the nonsense going to end?

circumcised.

You have the choice of a pat-down. That’s what I’ll do; I’ve been reading about these x-rated x-rays since 2003, and I vowed then and there I’d never set foot in one.

I think this is completely “Lawrence O’Donnell deranged.”

PC is what got us to this point and PC is only going to add to the body count eventually…
When will it end?

When the dems don’t run the house/senate and white house anymore…

Do they now actively WANT to be seen as terrorism enablers if not outright defenders? Can they no longer even pretend to be just as horrified as the rest of us at the prospect of planes blowing up in mid-air?
