Is This Anyway To Run the War on Terrorism?
Hoo-larious hijinks from the Maxwell
Smarts at Transportation Security Adminstration. Turns out
when they're not seizing breast milk from airline passengers,
they're throwing out sensitive documents improperly:
Homeland Security officials are being warned not to toss secret documents that could compromise transportation security into the ordinary trash after hundreds of such papers marked "sensitive" reportedly were found in a city trash container near the Orlando International Airport in Florida.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) used its most recent newsletter to tell employees not to throw away outdated materials stamped as "Sensitive Security Information" (SSI).
"There have been recent news stories about a young person who went Dumpster diving near a major airport and found an airport binder that contained documents marked as [SSI]", the newsletter said.
TSA Follies in detail here.

said.
But the good news is that he found all that perfectly good airline
food they were throwing out.

Let's write captions for that photo.
I'll start:
"I should have finished school."

Well, the TSA person has her hands folded like she's praying,
and the old lady has her arms outstretched like Jesus on the
Cross.
How's that for an inkblot response.

Amendment regarding Islam!
http://tinyurl.com/2qj2nx
A Proposed Constitutional Amendment
Background and justification to Amendment 28
Whereas Religion is defined as an institution dedicated to
improving social conscience and promoting individual and societal
spiritual growth in a way that is harmless to others not
participating in or practicing the same;
Whereas the United States of America was founded on the ideals of
individual rights, including the individual right to practice ones
religion of choice, or no religion, and that there would be no
compulsion of religion, nor state sanctioned religion, nor a
religious test for participation in the body politic;
Whereas Islam includes a complete political and social structure,
encompassed by its religious law, Sharia, that supersedes any civil
law and that Islam mandates that no secular or democratic
institutions are to be superior to Islamic law;
Whereas Islam preaches that it and it alone is the true religion
and that Islam will dominate the world and supplant all other
religions and democratic institutions;
Whereas Saudi Arabia, the spiritual home of Islam does not permit
the practice of any other religion on its soil and even moderate
Muslims states such as Turkey and Malaysia actively suppress other
religions;
Whereas Islam includes as its basic tenet the spread of the faith
by any and all means necessary, including violent conquest of
non-believers, and demands of its followers that they implement
violent jihad (holy war) against those un-willing to convert or
submit to Islam, including by deception and subversion of existing
institutions;
Whereas on 9/11/2001 19 Muslim hijackers acting in the name of
Islam killed 3,000 Americans, and numerous other acts of terrorism
have been directed at the American people around the world;
Whereas representatives of Islam around the world including Osama
Bin Laden (architect of 9/11), the government of Iran including
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, HAMAS, Hezbollah, and other Islamic groups
have declared jihad (war) on America, and regularly declare that
America should cease to exist;
Whereas there is no organized Islamic opposition to violent
proponents of Islam;
Therefore: Islam is not a religion, but a political ideology more
akin to Fascism and totally in opposition to the ideals of freedom
as described in the United States Constitution, especially the Bill
of Rights.
Be it resolved that the following Amendment to the Constitution be
adopted:
Article I
The social/political/ideological system known around the world as
Islam is not recognized in the United States as a religion.
The practice of Islam is therefore not protected under the 1st
Amendment as to freedom of religion and speech.
Article II
As representatives of Islam around the world have declared war, and
committed acts of war, against the United States and its democratic
allies around the world, Islam is hereby declared an enemy of the
United States and its practice within the United States is now
prohibited.
Article III
Immediately upon passage of this Amendment all Mosques, schools and
Muslim places of worship and religious training are to be closed,
converted to other uses, or destroyed. Proceeds from sales of such
properties may be distributed to congregations of said places but
full disclosure of all proceeds shall be made to an appropriate
agency as determined by Congress. No compensation is to be offered
by Federal or State agencies for losses on such properties however
Federal funding is to be available for the demolishing of said
structures if other disposition cannot be made.
The preaching of Islam in Mosques, Schools, and other venues is
prohibited. The subject of Islam may be taught in a post high
school academic environment provided that instruction include
discussion of Islams history of violence, conquest, and its ongoing
war on democratic and other non-Islamic values.
The preaching or advocating of Islamic ideals of world domination,
destruction of America and democratic institutions, jihad against
Judaism, Christianity and other religions, and advocating the
implementation of Sharia law shall in all cases be punishable by
fines, imprisonment, deportation, and death as prescribed by
Congress. Violent expressions of these and other Muslim goals, or
the material support of those both in the United States and around
the world who seek to advance these Islamic goals shall be
punishable by death.
Muslims will be denied the opportunity to immigrate to the United
States.
Article IV
Nothing in this amendment shall be construed as authorizing the
discrimination against, of violence upon, nor repudiation of the
individual rights of those Americans professing to be Muslim. The
individual right of conscience is sacrosanct and the practice of
Islam within the privacy of home and self is strictly protected to
the extent that such individuals do not violate the prohibitions
described in Article III.
"And thou shalt call him Ishmael and he will be a wildman. His hand
against every man and every man's hand against his."

Isn't she just signaling (badly) that a safety has been

Memories from the Minneapolis airport.... "Ma'am, I'm going to
have to touch you here..."
Just because I was wearing a fucking underwire!
Now I'm a nursing mama I routinely tote 5 ozs in one side and 3 or
4 in the other. I guess I'll be on the no-fly list until my son is
weaned.
Also, somebody needs to shoot the dog - he's obviously gone
rabid.

Leonard Cohen,
I agree with you.
However, I feel that u should add Judaism and Christianity.
...Don't have any problems with Hinduism or Buddism.
Christianity and the Inquisition, holy wars, conquest and killing
of native people throughout the americas, etc, etc etc has killed
more people than all Islamic Terror Attacks combined. Plus they are
a bunch of nosey bodies that don't allow anything.
Judaism is about as suicidal as Islam...as for the supporters of
Israel (and it's existence) will FIGHT TO the DEATH to keep Israel
alive.
Although Israel is really not a place amonst a bunch of Islamic
Savages...Israel is in the Heart...Too bad the Jewish extremest
don't believe this...and would rather live their, get bombed, run
the risk of Nuclear Holicaust, and even Involve Citizens of the US
in their suicide mission...Just for a Jewish State.
Funny, but Israel is the ONLY COUNTRY in the WORLD that is allowed
to discriminate against any citizen that's not Jewish. Didn't the
US and Europe BOYCOTT South Africa for this?
So please, classify the Islamic, Christian, and the Jewish Faith as
NON-RELIGIONs. Considering that they are ALL SUICIDAL, Hatefull,
Prejudice, ethno-centric, and WAR-LIKE...they truely don't believe
in GOD...They don't believe IN ANYTHING....

We're pretty lucky to be living in a rational, consensus-based society where the good guys are clearly marked by their uniforms. Imagine the fear and insecurity in which we'd be living if instead we had to submit to anyone, wearing anything. Why, that would be anarchy.

Ban all high altitude commercial and private air flights,
now.
Stop this search crap and 10% of green house gasses as well.
Use the airports for what? drag strips? flea markets?
