printIt’s impossible to prove—more so because there is no will to prove it—but it’s hard not to view this sort of TSA pat-down, in this case, of a toddler in a cast (via LRC.COM), as devoid of the racial aspect. Racial profiling.
As was observed in “Congress: Call Off Your TSA Attack Dogs!”, “The TSA workforce manning crucial sections of the air terminals reflects the federal government’s legislated preference for minorities. Each one of these workers seems singularly intent on exacting revenge upon his or her perceived oppressors.”
In the TSA grope-a-thone, a preponderance of manifestly angry minorities face off against the submissive majority.
Can anybody find footage of TSA agents frisking black tots, or elderly and crippled black old ladies?
I flew Southwest Airlines from Love Field in Dallas last year. The black, female TSA agent at the security checkpoint had pulled aside a white, female mother of three to frisk her. This was after going through security.
The woman’s four-year-old child with Down’s Syndrome was wailing in dismay as mommy was temporarily separated from her.
Racial profiling?
You betcha.
We can do an inverse Ilana Mercer by mentioning that the Most-Evil-Racist-Nation-On-The-Planet (also known as the Zionist Entity and occasionally known as Israel) would probably never do this nonsensical stuff on a crippled child of an Orthodox Rabbi or on the 95 year old grandmother! Those racists also engage in a sort of “profiling” and even allow people to wear shoes going through security.
I know some stuff about shooting down airplanes and to think that people will be doing it with 4 ounces of toothpaste, children’s flip-flops, old ladies’ “Depends”, yogurt, etc. is beyond ludicrous.
In Denver, I FLUNKED the nudie scanner twice and then FLUNKED the grope twice (had no other troubles on the other 5 trips through TSA land this year) and was detained for an hour while they sniffed my underwear and tuna fish for vapors, etc. The relatively polite Gestapo did ask what I was doing flying and I told them that I was going to a conference on Aircraft Survivability! The security Einstein’s already had my biometric US NAVY identity card but insisted on seeing a Virginia Driver’s License (used by 11 out of 19 “9/11” hijackers!!!) as well. Oi vey!! [Classic Pauli!]
It’s no longer only overweight, under-educated white men doing the groping. Now you can get groped by a “representative” security official.Wow, America sure has “progressed”!
Lighten up Mercer. The kid looks dangerous to me. [LOL; I forgot what a great sense of humor you have.]
I was talking to a singer who was quite popular in Canada back in the 70s, he travels a lot. One comment he made to me was the TSA people in the US, a lot are black and he says they cant read, don t know if its true.
Copy the link and read some of the You Tube comments underneath. Plenty of “but those are the rules we must obey to keep us safe” type of stuff. This sort of stuff makes me say, “Bring on the great collapse and let’s start over. After all, maybe the Zombie Apocalypse will thin some of these sheep out.”
