She carried a bag packed by her Jordanian boyfriend ostensibly filled with “gifts” for his family in Israel. Unbeknownst to the woman, the bag was actually a ticking bomb, set to go off somewhere over Greece." If Israeli Air Security had let this 'young, pregnant Irish woman' pass through without questioning, they would not have discovered the bomb planted in her luggage. It doesn't take a criminal mastermind to clean up a white crackhead -- like they do for trial (shave, suit and tie) -- pay him/her a couple hundred, then pass him through 'politically incorrect' air security with planted bomb materials and rendezvous on board with a jihadist. If only Al Quaida were so dumb/unsophisticated that they couldn't plan a workaround to exploit racial profiling.  In the Israeli case, the young white woman's travel itinerary didn't add up -- that was the flag.  PC or not had nothing to do with it. Not sure what you mean by PC:

I am no fan of the TSA. Congress went way to far in a huge knee jerk reaction to 911. Its then made matters worse by creating DHS which added to the TSA stupidity. This has been going on now for the last eight years. TSA knows all too well what they need to do with both the magnetometers and bomb detectors. Now they scrapped the systems because they are unreliable? Though there is one company who was the prime contractor to the USSS who's detection equipment was unbeatable and it protected the White House. But the experts are TSA did not like sole contractors so what did they do? They curved the testing parameters, meaning they lowered the requirements, so other companies could compete... Now to the defense of TSA in this matter.... We do not control foreign airports and or there screeing procedures and you cannot stop terrorism 100% of the time. We have been lucky so far.....

Obama can then invite the suspect and the hero to the WH for a teaching moment topped off with the hero apologizing for profiling and violating the suspects civil rights.  But never fear - the suspect will get top notch care for his burns, probably get vitamins and supplemental drinks if he's malnourished and then get oral surgery and dental care if his teeth are in bad shape.  I'm sure many non-insured American citizens struggling with health insurance issues will be comforted knowing that terror suspects get free health care and won't have to wait four years to get benefits either.

Try as we may, we can't take them too seriously--thus we report or comment with a certain skepticism.  (Do you suppose our federal spooks see themselves in that light?) Now we might have to strip to get through the safety gauntlet at an airport.  I remember when flying used to be fun.  And when they served meals on cross-country flights--meat and veggies with a drink of choice.
