_Individuals with a passport from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, or Algeria, should be given additional screening unless there are specific instructions not to.

Hmmmm....

TSA = totally stupid agency

The TSA experts must be training the Iraqis on how to man checkpoints to avoid car bombs too.

I heard it’s all over the net & I knew a Freeper would have a link. But thats so typical how a story disappears when it comes to outing the government. At TM stories disappeared all the time
