Well, shit, my entire post disappeared and I have to start over....Here are my thoughts on how these terrorists travel freely around the planet establishing cells in every country on the planet.
Recently, in Aug/Sep, I traveled Phoenix/Kansas City. I was patted down both ways. I was in wheelchair (my body works o.k, but long walks are hard on the ole' lungs). I went through x-ray machines both ways. One TSA agent told me the radar picked up bomb residue on my hands....On the return trip, I recalled a group (3-4) young men who looked like Muslims.....I know I was always taught to not stereotype, generalize, etc., and I really try not to do that, but I have to recall, that my mind went right to "I hope they are not on my flight." These men fit stereotype, dark, olive skin, with more than average facial hair...Remember some of these would be terrorists travel internationally to establish world-wide cells. I watched to see if they received extra screening....nope, I believe we have become so politically correct, that we are more comfortable patting down more vulnerable citizens than doing extra screening for those who more closely fits profile of typical terrorist.....Then airports have the audacity to show the public all the weapons which have been confiscated by passengers carrying firearms in carry on and checked baggage, and I get a nail file taken away from me. Well it was one of those little finger clipper, bottle opener, nail file all in one.....I think Security sucks......
On a recent trip to Colorado, I wasn't patted down either way.....
What really pisses me off, is that these people of different religions come here, and have the nerve to rally, protest, etc for their specific rights....Their rights shouldnt' supersede the rights of a mostly Christian nation. (well, I know there are many exceptions).
If you want to move here, O.K., but follow our laws, mores, customs, we don't do honor killings here....women have rights in the USA. We don't subject them to stonings, hiding their bodies and faces from public view, etc. If things are so great in the counrty they just immigrated from, why did they come to the USA and other numerous places in Europe. On 2nd thought, don't move here as it is getting too difficult to tell the difference between a terrorist and a loyal American citizen....sarcasm.....
