He spoke little English, but understood enough, obviously, to be able to get a ticket and get on the flight in the first place. And he apparently lied about being a student at the University of Indianapolis. But nothing to see here, folks. He was just “confused.” “Saudi passenger disrupts flight bound for Indianapolis,” from […]
FBI, TSA investigating Arabic writing on underbellies of Southwest Airlines planes
UPDATE: Now that pictures of these markings have finally been released, we can see that they aren’t Arabic at all. They don’t even look like Arabic. Someone who was investigating this case was a complete idiot. ——— This is not just graffiti. This is not “Kilroy was here.” The messages are unlikely to be saying, […]
Report: Al-Qaeda branch has acquired Libyan surface-to-air missiles, threatening air travel
More steals and deals at the jihadist garage sale of the century. “Qaeda offshoot acquires Libyan air missiles: EU,” from Agence France-Presse, September 5: Al-Qaeda’s north African branch has acquired a stockpile of weapons in Libya, including surface-to-air missiles that are threatening air travel, the EU’s counter-terrorism coordinator said Monday. Due to the turmoil in […]
Failed underwear bomber says he assaulted guards “in defense of Muhammad,” says he should only be judged according to Sharia
We have seen many other cases where a Muslim defendant has refused to recognize the authority of the court, with various gestures of disrespect, because it is not a Sharia court. And because he only recognizes Sharia law, Abdulmutallab therefore calls himself unlawfully imprisoned. Unfortunately for him, we don’t imprison defendants only according to the […]
If you see something silly, say something: Homeland Security video portrays all “terrorists” as white, middle class males
Don’t they know stereotyping causes alienation, and alienation and poor self-esteem lead to radicalization? Now these poor men are going to have to deal with those additional radicalized Misunderstanders of Middle America and worry about backlash because of their portrayal in this video! And this is going to damage our standing with middle-class white guys […]
Air security: “If people are stopped simply for the sake of balance, whether in terms of gender, age or race, the powers will not be used in the most effective way — or in the fairest way”
The discussion about the absurdity of frisking Grandma in order for air security to appear “fair” (Fair to whom? Not Grandma) about counter-terror measures is taking place across the pond as well. In any country, not targeting resources to acknowledge the more probable source of the threat is not only wasteful, but reduces security efforts […]
The TSA protects you from another wheelchair-bound nonagenarian
Here we go again. The TSA protected us recently from a 95-year-old, wheelchair-bound leukemia patient, and now this. It is a good thing that there were agents available to do this, and that they were not too busy patting down former Secretaries of Defense and six-year-olds. Extra scrutiny for young Arab and Pakistani males, despite […]

Amr Gamal Shedid […]
The TSA protects you from Donald Rumsfeld
The TSA: protecting you from former Secretaries of Defense, six-year-olds, and 95-year-old, wheelchair-bound leukemia patients. Think of all the millions, if not billions, of dollars that have been spent on this charade, all in service of the politically correct fantasy that any person of any background is just as likely as anyone else to commit […]
Glasgow: Muslims complain about security checks at airport that was target of 2007 jihad attack
June 2007: Muslims try to destroy the Glasgow airport. July 2011: Muslims claim victim status and demand lax security for Muslims at the Glasgow airport.
