Saw this statement by the ACLU in a CNN Travel article concerning how it feels about the new requirement of the TSA to swab passengers' hands during your pre-flight interrogation sequence.
"The American Civil Liberties Union has "always supported explosive detection as a good form of security that doesn't really invade privacy," said Jay Stanley, an attorney and privacy expert with the organization.
Stanley said the ACLU is chiefly concerned that the TSA does not discriminate when selecting people for enhanced screening -- something the agency said it does not do -- and that it treat people with dignity."
"We would not want to see it implemented in a discriminatory fashion, for example, in a disproportionate way against Muslims and Arabs..."
WHY THE HELL NOT!!!! Damn it! Who are the terrorists who have cost us all these billions in security measures and loss of our freedom over the past few decades? 100% MUSLIMS! Mostly ARAB MUSLIMS! In a world that held to reality rather than feel-good fiction every single muslim in the world would be stripped-searched, x-rayed and scanned for explosives before being allowed on a flight. Even then I wouldn't trust them. And this would continue until they started acting like human beings not intent on killing all us infidels.
Instead we have the ACLU and the preachers of Political Correctness concerned that we might hurt their feelings.
Instead, we give up another little piece of our freedom and privacy. Oh, the joys of political correctness.
