Only greasy Islamophobes would object to a hijabbed, observant Muslim TSA worker, right? After all, to object would be to assume that all Muslims are jihad terrorists or jihad terrorist sympathizers, and that is the very definition of “Islamophobia,” now, isn’t it? We should be applauding the prospect of a devout Muslim who has dedicated […]
TSA under fire after Iranian-American businessman boards flight with loaded handgun
Accidentally, of course. You know, I forget where I put my loaded handgun all the time. And it’s just a coincidence that Farid Seif is Iranian, and that there are numerous reports of dry run-type activity in airports and on airplanes. This could just as well have happened to Mr. Smith. “TSA under fire after […]
Al-Qaeda jihadists researching ways to evade airport security and murder “larger numbers of unbelievers and apostates”
The moment that one of these bombs goes off on an airplane, the futility of the TSA’s new scan-and-grope procedures will be abundantly clear even to the thickest of the learned analysts. But will there then be a shift toward a more intelligent security policy? Probably not. “‘Frankenbombers’: Al Qaeda hatches plot to implant explosives […]

Spencer: It’s time to profile
Muslims are much more likely than other groups to plot terror attacks, so why aren’t we focusing on them? My column in Human Events this morning: As horror stories from the TSA become an ever-expanding genre, it is important to remember that the entire roiling controversy over airport security has come about solely because of […]
British Airways worker offered himself as suicide bomber, advised jihadists of airlines’ weaknesses
Speaking of air security, this update on the case of Rajib Karim raises questions equally relevant to the state of security in American airports: what did British Airways know about him when they hired him? Were there questions they could have asked, but didn’t? Were red flags in his behavior as an employee missed or […]
Fly safe, fly Delta
Jihad Watch reader Michael sends in this photo from a Delta gate at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. Of course, there is no doubt whatsoever that the hijabbed Delta clerk is as honest and patriotic as the day is long. But suppose, just suppose, that a hijabbed Muslim woman Misunderstood the Religion of Peace […]
Now you can breathe easy, Infidels: Wheelchair-bound nun searched by TSA
Jihad Watch reader Jim writes: Here’s a picture I took on my phone when passing through security in Miami on Wednesday. The nun was travelling with three others, not unlike the Flying Imams come to think of it. My wife, Laurie, not a nun, said “Look!” and I turned and snapped this shot before the […]
Hamas-linked CAIR to Muslims: Pat yourselves down in airport security checks
“It’s all right, kaffir, I have checked myself and found nothing!” From a press release sent out by Hamas-linked CAIR — a group that never saw an anti-jihad terror initiative that it could support — today (thanks to Twostellas): If you wear the Islamic head scarf and you are selected for secondary screening, ask the […]
Feel safe? This little boy has been strip-searched for your protection
This video has already gone around the world and back, but it is worth posting here to emphasize that this whole absurd TSA controversy has come about because of the government’s refusal to admit the nature of the threat. If the TSA, and the DHS, and the State Department, and all the rest of them, […]
