  Last week, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a "travel advisory" noting that women who are patted down "should remind the TSA officer that they are only supposed to pat down the area in question, in this scenario, your head and neck. They SHOULD NOT subject you to a full-body or partial-body pat-down." It's unclear whyCAIR believes TSA frisking must be Shariah-compliant. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to deny that such exemptions existed when CNS News asked her about them on Monday, saying instead that "adjustments will be made where they need to be made" and that "there will be more to come" on this issue.

  I doubt he knew it was prohibited,

  anyway, it's all how TSA has handled it after it went viral.

  According to Aguilar, Tyner is under investigation for leaving the security area without permission. That’s prohibited,

  Did Tyner know it was prohibited?

  Do they pat down children?

  I would rehearse at home what they would experience before going to the airport.

  As a child and even teenager I would have died of embarrassment if this had been done to me.

  It would have scared me too.

  Even my own mother sizing me for clothes she made, I did not like her touching me in places.

  a republican and a democrat were walking down the street when they came across a homeless person.. the republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him come to his business for a job.

  he then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.. the democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help.

  he walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office.

  I'd like to hear about the everyday people that give, help out their fellowman, those that don't toot their horn about it, but I probably never will as they

  give with the real spirit of giving, as a true gift.

  These people are too busy actually making something happen to be concerned with who is doing more than the other.

  that quote must be embarrassing for the wts, so i figured i'd post it.

  it appeared on the inside cover of every awake magazine until a few years ago.. a few weeks ago i attended the funeral of someone born in 1916, she was 94 years old.

  i don't know anyone born before or on 1914.. governing body are you ashamed?
