CHARGE: TSA Pats Down Child, Little Old Lady, Ignores Man in Arab Garb...
Congressman On Recent Flight: TSA Patted Down Child, Little Old Lady; Ignored Man In Arab Garb
The Hill reports: "I walked through ... right behind me there was a grandmother — little old lady, and she was was patted down," Rep. Paul Broun (R-Georgia) said on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal."
"Right behind her was a little kid who was patted down. And then right behind him was a guy in Arabian dress who just walked right through. Why are we patting down grandma and kids?"
Appearing on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" on Wednesday prior to the Texas Senate killing a bill that would have criminalized intrusive pat-downs, Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia said he is undecided on the PATRIOT Act because it is focused on Americans, not official enemies.
Broun is a member of the House Homeland Security Committee. During the interview he said the TSA is too politically correct when it selects passengers to molest at airports.
"We have to identify those people — we do that through human intelligence, we do that by trying to get into the inner circle," he said. "Focus upon those individuals, not on the general public. Unfortunately, I think the Department of Homeland Security has been focusing on the general public and have been afraid of political correctness."
"We've got to forget political correctness," Broun added. "We've got to start focusing on those people who want to harm us as a nation."
The TSA and the Department of Homeland Security do not profile Arabs because they do not pose a threat, despite nearly a decade of propaganda to the contrary. Crazed gunmen at meet and greets and drug cartels in American cities are far more of a threat to the security of the American people. So are rogue cops dumping the wheelchair-bound on sidewalks and pumping 60 bullets into veterans.
Mr. Broun and the political class in Washington are missing the point. TSA goons picking out old ladies and children to molest while ignoring folks in Arab garb has nothing to do with political correctness. It's about training the American people to accept and submit to the state.
If we will consent to agents of the state sticking their hands down our pants -- and those of our children -- we will accept just about anything, including black-clad militarized cops at the mall and on street corners barking orders like they do in third world dictatorships.
The threat is not a handful of radicalized Muslims. It is the government and its desire to create a police state engineered to violently guarantee its monopoly on power.
According to this man:
People who want to harm us = Arabs
People who want to destroy America = Arabs
"The General Public" = Caucasians
Big-headed-conservative-racist-bastards like this man don't need to be running our government. This is why everyone hates Americans.

@myquill23 There are actually a number of "Muslim Rights" groups who are actually fighting for the right to be ignored through security. They was one group actually trying to forbid body patdowns of Muslim women dressed like giant shuttlecocks, by limiting searching only to their head.
It's a joke.

The guy doesn't know what he wants to say. And focusing on Arab looking men only would be an obvious flaw in the system anyway...

Because.. because.. because groping the Arab man would be racist..
..and in this twisted current global society that we have, racism is a crime worse than murder, stealing, lying, genocide, homicide, trespassing, and all the other crimes combined..
Why? Fuck, I have no idea why this society allowed that kind of thinking to prevail.
I have no idea why we occupy ourselves with secondary and tertiary issues instead of the primary issue.. which is the TSA.

So you're labelling people Anti-American? You should go get a job application for a TSA screener. You'd like it, they let you grope old women and kids.
