NAPOLITANO: THE BALL’S IN MY COURT NOW
November 17, 2010
After the 9/11 attacks, when 19 Muslim terrorists -- 15 from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates and one each from Egypt and Lebanon, 14 with "al" in their names -- took over commercial aircraft with box-cutters, the government banned sharp objects from planes.
Airport security began confiscating little old ladies' knitting needles and breaking the mouse-sized nail files off of passengers' nail clippers. Surprisingly, no decrease in the number of hijacking attempts by little old ladies and manicurists was noted.
After another Muslim terrorist, Richard Reid, AKA Tariq Raja, AKA Abdel Rahim, AKA Abdul Raheem, AKA Abu Ibrahim, AKA Sammy Cohen (which was only his eHarmony alias), tried to blow up a commercial aircraft with explosive-laden sneakers, the government prohibited more than 3 ounces of liquid from being carried on airplanes.
All passengers were required to take off their shoes for special security screening, which did not thwart a single terrorist attack, but made airport security checkpoints a lot smellier.
After Muslim terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab of Nigeria tried to detonate explosive material in his underwear over Detroit last Christmas, the government began requiring nude body scans at airports.
The machines, which cannot detect chemicals or plastic, would not have caught the diaper bomber. So, again, no hijackers were stopped, but being able to see passengers in the nude boosted the morale of airport security personnel by 22 percent.
After explosives were inserted in two ink cartridges and placed on a plane headed to the United States from the Muslim nation of Yemen, the government banned printer cartridges from all domestic flights, resulting in no improvement in airport security, while requiring ink cartridges who traveled to take Amtrak.
So when the next Muslim terrorist, probably named Abdul Ahmed al Shehri, places explosives in his anal cavity, what is the government going to require then? (If you're looking for a good investment opportunity, might I suggest rubber gloves?)
Last year, a Muslim attempting to murder Prince Mohammed bin Nayef of Saudi Arabia blew himself up with a bomb stuck up his anus. Fortunately, this didn't happen near an airport, or Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano would now be requiring full body cavity searches to fly.
You can't stop a terrorist attack by searching for the explosives any more than you can stop crime by taking away everyone's guns.
In the 1970s, liberal ideas on crime swept the country. Gun owners were treated like criminals while actual criminals were coddled and released. If only we treated criminals with dignity and respect and showed them the system was fair, liberals told us, criminals would reward us with good behavior.
As is now well known, crime exploded in the '70s. It took decades of conservative law-and-order policies to get crime back to near-1950s levels.
It's similarly pointless to treat all Americans as if they're potential terrorists while trying to find and confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon. We can't search all passengers for explosives because Muslims stick explosives up their anuses. (Talk about jobs Americans just won't do.)
You have to search for the terrorists.
Fortunately, that's the one advantage we have in this war. In a lucky stroke, all the terrorists are swarthy, foreign-born, Muslim males. (Think: "Guys Madonna would date.")

“all the terrorists are swarthy, foreign-born, Muslim males.” How perfectly apt and wonderfully politically incorrect!!
In the name of fairness she would cut them off.
Is it true that congress is exempt? If it is will we the people ever stand up to this abuse of power? We’d best start now before it’s too late. Then again, maybe it already is too late.
I just caught a chill as if someone stepped across my grave. The woman is frightening.
The government will probably require everyone who flies to get a colostomy, and have their colon and rectum removed. Or at least have a rigid sigmoidoscopy done on them by the highly trained TSA agents!

I’d disagree with this wonderful and patriotic lady about only one point: she maintains that air travel is very homogenous, dominated by middle-aged, middle-class white guys. She must be only noticing the passengers who fly between New York and DC, as she does, because when I go to Dulles, BWI, Reagan National, Miami, DFW, LAX, or O’Hare, it looks like the United Nations. Especially Miami! No, it would not be easy to single out a Muslim there.
And the Chechens have used blonde Muslim women to blow stuff up.
Mark
I don't get it though....
But the left is very happy with this. They are self loathing bores who enjoy humiliating people. They screamed against the Patriot Act, but love it when it is administered by their own fascists. The media is trotting out polls showing eighty percent of us want to be scanned and groped. Yeah, right.
We have a fascist police state enforced by tenured tyrants in kangaroo courts. Our congress is run by reprobates and our president is a Marxist. There isn't a lot of hope. You have that right. I am just amazed that so many freepers love big brother too.
QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN ANN
November 17, 2010, 3:45 PM **COULTER ON HANNITY WED, 11/17** -
I think it’s one of those separated at birth kinda things...
So Syncro, I reckon you heard that Muslims are not going to be obliged to submit to the “grope.”
My new invention: Men's underwear that makes your organ look huge in one of those new airport scanners.: > )
TSA: Try Screening Arabs
LOL, practicing for next time I fly
And yea, remember the picture of the Islamic Muslim feeling up a Nun at the airport?
I tell ya, it's a backwards bizarro world the left has created!
And that ottbmare, is why we must adapt the Israeli way. You ask a couple of questions of those you "suspect", such as: Where are you going? Why are you going there? Who is traveling with you? etc. And while asking them you look them directly in the eyes and with training you know if they are telling you the truth. It is not rocket science as they say, but it is effective and works. Just ask them.
What I am saying is that virtually every second person of all the thousands upon thousands moving through all those airports every hour would have to be questioned, because half of them look as if they could be from some foreign country, even if they aren’t. Questioning people works at tiny Ben Gurion Airport and at the very limited departure lounges for El Al abroad, because there just aren’t that many passengers and the Israelis have a number of very experienced, astute, intelligent security officials doing the questioning. But for the entire population of passengers going through vast American airports like Atlanta, O’Hare, LaGuardia, Kennedy? You would have to have tens of thousands of highly-trained and highly intelligent TSA employees to stop a large percentage of the travelling public and ask those questions.
It’s an intolerable situation, especially for you and many in a similar situation. In the Beltway fear rules, chicken little type fear — but not of the sky, of the people in the rest of the country and the world. Their response is in ritual, cargo cult type ritual. But in our advanced type of society a cargo cult transforms into a something of a Fritz Lang movie scripted by Franz Kafka with TSA, SS and other uniformed and suited goons lining the runways of life chanted over by metrosexual shamans dressed in custom Italian suits with fancy Italian shoes or asexual she-priests in fugly designer pant suits.
Find a lawyer or and advocacy group — or create or join one — that will sue these bastards every way from Sunday. If the scanner companies pulled down a half or a quarter billion then a good shyster can rape those bastards for tens of millions on your behalf. Turn the favorite leftist tactic of legal back on the police state, and make a profit from it! Destroy them!
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Ann? Consider it done ...
My last flight was February of 2009, and the one before that April of 2003. However, if it comes down to it, I’ll strip in front of the whole airport population. After 11 pregnancies, 12 years of breastfeeding, and a colonoscopy, who gives a FReep?
Two weeks ago, Napolitano ordered TSA agents to start groping women's breasts and all passengers' genitalia...
I expect at least flowers, candy and a gourmet meal before letting someone get that intimate!
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
