Of course its foolish to allow our bodies to be groped and searched by an incompetent agency that accomplishes nothing, but think of how it makes us look on the international scene!
More storms are brewing for the TSA after the Indian ambassador was forced to undergo a patdown at an airport, reportedly on grounds that she was wearing a sari.
Meera Shankar was in a security line at a Mississippi airport last week when she was pulled out for a hands-on search.
“Let me be frank. This is unacceptable to India. We are going to take it up with the government of the United States so that such unpleasant incidents do not recur,” India’s Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said in New Delhi.
Seems like the great people of India don’t seem to like getting their mitten pinched any more than the Americans.
Hey but think of all the Terrorists we’re catching!!!
I wonder why she didn’t stand on her diplomatic immunity and refuse the search. The persons of diplomats is supposed to be sacrosanct. I hope India roasts the administration over a slow fire over this.
There was a story yesterday about a guy who forgot a friend gave him a six inch hunting knife for Christmas.
He found it on the way to the plane…..AFTER he’d gone through security.
Oh, link, PLEASE! That would be a great story to spread! We need to keep hitting the TSA in the media at every opportunity.
