We’ve become so politically correct in this world that it’s dangerous! The latest outrage coming from Canada shows that Muslim women don’t have to lift their veils or prove that their face matches their ID’s. The Homeland Security Newswire writes:
"The issue came to light through a video taken by Mick Flynn of Bradford, England. Flynn was boarding a flight at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport when he witnessed two women with their faces covered board an Air Canada Heathrow-bound flight without being asked to remove their veils.
In fact, in the video that Flynn has posted online, a man traveling with the women hands in all the passports and is the only one to interact with airline staff while two veiled women simply walk through.
“I complained at the desk — and again as I boarded the plane — asking if the pilot was happy that two women boarded without being identified,” Flynn told QMI News Agency. “Both members of staff whom I spoke to were flustered and clearly embarrassed.”
Lilley and Bryn Weese write that Flynn’s communication with Air Canada and his video posting have resulted in a threatened lawsuit from the airline. As for answers from the company about security procedures, their response reveals holes in Canada’s air security."
How absolutely stupid we have become. We’ve just handed the enemy a plan. Put your big burly suspicious looking terrorists under a couple of burkas and watch them get waved through! The little old ladies get pulled over and frisked and the burkas get a wide open gate. Insanity!

political correctness is going to kill the world!
Once this stupidity gets some people killed, it will be open season on anyone in a burka.
Fine. Prove it with a fingerprint then.
Yes, about as stupid as the US NOT PROFILING at the gates, while checking out old women and children for bombs, guns, or other devices.
Let me tell you about Ahab the Arab, sheik of the burnin sands!.....
I would not take a flight if there were people in Muslim garb waiting to board.
How do know they are muslim, and how do we know they are women?
The 9-11 hijackers were able to get through security at Logan Airport because Norman Maneta passed a regulation that limited the number of Middle Eastern men that could be screened to four per flight.
How does one tell that a veiled Muslim woman is in fact a veiled, Muslim, woman?
What about veiled Irish women?
What about veiled Swiss St. Bernard dogs?
What about veiled Vietnamese men?
Is the test the veil itself? Or is it that the person is a Muslim? Or is it that the person is a woman?
And when did veils become a criteria for determining a person’s Islamic faith? And when did veils become a criteria for determining Islamic faith EXCLUSIVELY, as opposed to being a criteria for assessing Hindi custom, Mennonite custom, shinto custom, Victorian English custom, etc?
Agreed.
Of the giant international cess-pool that is “political correctness” Canada is the rotten sludge at the bottom.
What do you mean complaining about this? Don’t you have enough Christian/Jewish Guilt? Didn’t you bow down in submission begging forgiveness for being Christian or Jewish on September 11, 2001? What do you mean asking death cultists to obey the same rules as you, you eeeeevvvviiillll Christian or Jew?
Don’t you know it’s very important not to offend death cultists? Don’t you know that your safety doesn’t matter?
< bitter sarcasm >
How many innocents will be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness?
When will sharia law come to a town near you? Especially now that Kagen is now on Supreme court.
political correctness is going to kill the world!
Yep. Canada will suffer eventually from that decision.
