The terrorists have won folks and CAIR is the slimy little worm that continues to lay more groundwork in this country. Just look at what has happened to our system. TSA is just another branch of the new gestapo.
BS on all accounts...as I showed above in my post.
Get you hate fix somewhere else.
Beginning earlier this year, the TSA began using full-imaging scanners in airports. In February, CAIR supported a statement by a prominent group of Muslim scholars that the full-body scanners violate religious and privacy rights.

Yup, pretty sad when mods fall for this crap. They should be the ones leading by example in denying ignorance. Even the thread author admitted his mistake.edit on 16-11-2010 by InvisibleAlbatross because: (no reason given)

Figures. Screw everyone but Muslims.
Figures. A MOD of all people believing a story from FreeRepublic as gospel and ranting about it.
A story thoroughly debunked with 4 minutes of googling above.

How does this not erode faith in the motto "Deny Ignorance" when a Mod is so eager to get on the Anti-Muslim band wagon that he backs a story like this from FreeRepublic without the slightest bit of skepticism or hesitation.

It's ok, however, if you're not Muslim, for the TSA to feel up your wife,
your daughter, you! But God forbid a Muslim be subject to the same violation.
You can turn off your hate juice already. The article was bogus.

You deal in rumors, fear and lies.

Hey genius, if anyone opts out of the body scan they are now subject to a full and complete hand frisk using the tactile surface of the TSA agents hands. It is a dual edge sword with Muslims because a full body scan is considered a violation of Islamic Sharia Law. Airport body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslims say

Well, I provided links and evidence showing the story to be false. the story itself provided no links that supported the claim.
I will trust evidence and research as opposed to some anonymous poster named "Agent_USA_Supporter" simply declaring the story real.
Wow..

Obama Gives a Pass: TSA Won’t Touch Muslims’ Junk
CNSNews.com has reported that Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) — which is frequently tied to domestic terror plots — has been guaranteed that TSA officials will only pat down Muslim women in the head and neck area.
CAIR said Muslims who object to full-body scans for religious reasons should know their rights if they are required to undergo a pat-down, including asking for the procedure to be done in a private place. In addition, CAIR offered a “special recommendation” for Muslim women who wear a hijab, telling them they should tell the TSA officer that they may be searched only around the head and neck.
“Before you are patted down, you 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.”
Special recommendations for Muslim women who wear hijab:
If you are selected for secondary screening after you go through the metal detector and it does not go off, and "sss" is not written on your boarding pass, ask the TSA officer if the reason you are being selected is because of your head scarf.
In this situation, you may be asked to submit to a pat-down or to go through a full body scanner. If you are selected for the scanner, you may ask to go through a pat-down instead.
Before you are patted down, you 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.
You may ask to be taken to a private room for the pat-down procedure.
Instead of the pat-down, you can always request to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck area, and have the officers perform a chemical swipe of your hands.
If you encounter any issues, ask to speak to a supervisor immediately. They are there to assist you.
What rights has TSA given for burka wearing women?
Once again, this article is recommendation from CAIR and has nothing to do with TSA rules/regulations

Brown is noteworthy for his introduction of the "Willie Horton" television ad during the Bush-Dukakis presidential race.
Quotes About Floyd Brown
Time (magazine): “Brown has stature among devoted conservatives that almost matches his physical heft (6 ft. 6 in. and 240 lbs.)”[8]
Salon.com magazine: "He has given conservatism a rank smell for two decades --and if there is a racist odor to the coming general election campaign, it is likely to emanate from his vicinity." (April 25, 2008)
Mary Matalin: "I'm not a big fan of Floyd Brown...He gave us the Willie Horton ads that the Republican Party has had to eat for two election cycles now."[49]
USA Today: "[Brown has] established himself as one of the nation's dirtiest political strategists." [50]
George Stephanopoulos: "Floyd Brown is a slimy thug for hire." [51]
Based on history, and by history I mean specifically that every incident of terrorism involving explosives and intent to take the plane down in the last 20 years has involved a muslim perp, the only ones in need of a pat down ARE MUSLIMS.

Will likely need to be constantly repeated, during this thread...I imagine. The TSA isn't treating them any differently folks, this is one group's "recommendation", which doesn't mean jack to the TSA.....
