Obama’s Refusal To Acknowledge Threat Of Radical Islam
By Dr. Alan Bates, MD.
 
A few weeks ago my wife and I traveled to from Florida to Nevada,   but when we picked up our suitcases at the baggage claim,   I noticed the combination lock on our main piece of luggage was broken and the latch would not function.   A second latch irrelevant to entering that suitcase was also broken.   I inquired of the airline and they denied any responsibility for damage and blamed TSA.  Our luggage was unlocked when we checked it at the ticket counter.   Neither my wife nor I are on any terrorist watch lists and have been loyal law-abiding loyal Americans for more than 50 years.  Why would TSA target our suitcase?   Why did TSA elect to damage an expensive piece of luggage when it was checked in unlocked to begin with?   The concise answer is that Obama and those in charge of Homeland Security and TSA have at the very least a misguided approach to prevention of terrorism based upon political correctness which prevents the only proven successful solution---profiling those individuals most likely to be terrorists.  Diehard liberals like Obama, Napolitano and TSA Director John Pistole don’t learn by watching those who already know how to do something---like Israeli airport security teams who are crack experts at spotting would-be terrorists primarily by watching human interactions, mannerisms and targeting those who are most likely to promulgate terrorism based upon past history.  Instead, liberals have to reinvent a politically correct way to do everything even if it abuses our constitutional rights.
 
Damage to our luggage was an intentional harmful act without cause for which our government is responsible.  I could care less that they were only doing their job by ‘randomly selecting our luggage for screening’ as was written on a card inserted into that suitcase by TSA. They had no reason to enter it or to destroy the locking mechanism.   TSA can claim that the luggage was not unlocked but either they are wrong or some baggage handler accidentally spun the combination and locked it prior to some robotic TSA employee selecting our bag for open search.   Meantime, Islamic terrorists think far ahead of TSA which merely reacts. Ironically, Islamic terrorists have only been stopped while already aboard flights by fast-acting passengers who overpower them.   They board flights because TSA ignores the reality that both physical and psychological profiling are the key to prevention, whether in an airport or at Fort Hood.  Whether you are from Yemen or Pakistan does not matter to the TSA or to Obama and his czars.  In fact, some of the top positions at Homeland Security are Muslims appointed by Obama.  Could illegal search and seizure of citizens at airports be the first test of this Administration as to whether Americans will complacently surrender their constitutional rights?   What next?

  • I think this as well as using the new "zapper" machines is an exercise in futility. I am a modest person and I had to go through one of these new machines in September. In addition, the suitcase I took was (it looks to me) broken intentionally. It was unlocked as well. In addition, each and every day illegals are streaming over our southern border. Who knows WHO they are and WHY they're coming here. Personally, I think the government is doing this simply to test just how much we will take. Seems to me that Americans today are guilty until proven innocent. Also, under the circumstances, I think there should be profiling. Look at the people who are responsible for the terrorist attacks. Why should they get special treatment???
  • The demise of America is underway and the agenda has been accelerated, as Americans sit around mesmerized by the media sitting on the sofa getting fatter and more lazy, going to deserve what we get.
  • Having had to endure the stupidity of the Congress in knee-jerk creation of the TSA to begin with not to mention the inadequacies of the folks doing it, I have decided that because I am now retired, I no longer have the need to fly anywhere. Instead, I will drive whereever I need to go even if it is from coast to coast. That said, it still does not get at the stupidity of the TSA or its minions and its so-called leadership. They will take all manner of stupid things away from travelers such as nail clippers from weapons carrying (legally) soldiers returning from the war zones but overlooks such things as pens and pencils which can be just as effective as weapons. Be thankful they do not take these as you can use them against terrorists if they are on your plane. What to do? Just keep letting your representatives in Congress how you feel. Eventually we will get the Democrats gone and the much more responsive Conservatives back where they belong and proper changes can be made. (maybe).
  • What in the hell do you expect from a punk who was schooled by them? People voted with out thinking, now we are paying for their stupidity! May we live long enough to correct that error and save what we can of the Nation and our way of life!
  • We could save a great deal of lives and keep the piece if the TSA would simply change the way they check for explosive and contraband material.

    Build a box which would hold one person at a time. When someone enters the box the doors would close behind them and if the person was carrying any explosive this box wold cause it to detonate and take out the terrorist in one felt scoop. It could also be used with a high magnitude magnetic energy to detect guns, knives and other metallic material.

    Then people would not have to go through a pat down.
    • This is brilliant. I think Israel does this. This would solve everything.
  • hello, if you enter their territory you will be treated as a terrorist, my advices stay awy from flying... oh by the way send them a bill for damaging your luggage the cost of replacement,. dont be afraid all they want is money in the name of terror. another method to fleecing the American people... Dont buy it. we are being suckered in.
