Is My Hijab On Straight?

You can’t make this up.  There may be some recollection among people that the entire reason for the institutionalized personal assaults that happen at airports these days are because of concerns for security.  In particular concerns about explosive devices being smuggled on board.  In particular, a certain segment of the population that has had a predisposition to this kind of thing. 

As a demonstration of tolerance and objectivity, everyone is considered a suspect and must be equally regarded as dangerous.  This only proves the inclusiveness and tolerance of western society.  It is not acceptable to use profiling to screen potential risks, but it is acceptable to essentially commit sexaul assault on the general public to prove tolerance.  !!!  Now, however, Muslim groups are insisting that Muslim women be excluded from the invasive searches that the public are subjected to….for religious reasons.  Well there ya go.  That’s the loophole! 

You can feel the mad rush for travellers hitting the conversion booths at airports as everyone rushes to adopt Islam as their faith!  It’s brilliant.  Islam in one fell swoop manages to add tens of millions of followers.  At the very least, the market for Hijabs will soar.  Someone will come up with the idea of a temporary Muslim I.D. card for use specifically at airports like the Nexus cards in use today.  At the same time, the intricate and expensive airport screening measures are rendered useless.

Security lines will move much quicker once Muslims are excluded from searches.  The process of groping kids and grandparents will be all that’s left for TSA agents to do.  The reduced workload will enable a smaller staff, thereby saving taxpayer dollars.  It’s an elegant solution.
