Freeper mad when security at the airport effects their family.

[Fuzz]

And most, of course support him.

As long as it's not them and just 'those people', right? I mean, how can these injustices happen to us? We're the 'good guys'.

1. Oh, poor freep. They treated his MIL like she was one of the "brown people."

Oh, dear. What is this crazy world coming to?

2. Dumb bitch should learn English

if she's going to be in OUR country, she better know the language. I suppose she'll want all the signs in Lithuanian next! :sarcasm:

If it was someone that Freeptard didn't know getting cigarettes put out on them and being sodomized with a broomstick the same guy would have said, "Well, if that's what keeps the plane safe, I don't see what the problem is"

[Bluebear]

4. 'I suppose she'll want all the signs in Lithuanian next!'

:spray:

Perfect.

[MazeRat7]

3. Yet another freep that has never been out of the country...

Otherwise he would have know that questions about fruit, cigars, weapons, are standard by customs officials and since she didn't speak english there was no way for her to answer them... duh!! :eyes:

Smart move giving the MIL a list of numbers to hand customs otherwise she would have never been allowed to enter.

5. Awwwwww

They're the idiots who want all of the increased security everywhere. What ever happened to "if you have nothing to hide...."?

[progdonkey]

6. "no English, no English"

I'm sure this Freeper would be completely understanding if the mother of a US citizen of Mexican decent got stopped arriving to LAX and "harassed" by the evil customs officials. :nopity:

Quick side note, though: I'd personally prefer it if you just posted the most salient bits of the post so no one would have to click over to that cesspool (and especially when the poster said absolutely nothing of interest until about 2/3rds of the way down...). :hi:

[Fuzz]

10. I usually do, but I've had too many martinis to copy and past properly

this evening. Damn NY/NJ football teams!!! :D

I get your point, but the whole thread is just interesting in a car wreck sort of way.

7. I was ready for my shower anyway so I dived into the sewer and found this gem:

" Next time, have her travel through Mexico and just walk across the border. If she wears a sombrero, no one will bother her."

Now I need TWO showers. :eyes:

9. sweet Jesus, do these idiots have absolutely no sense of irony?

Wait, I already know the answer.

[karlrschneider]

14. It's okay, I love rhetoric of all kinds!

:D

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. LOL He is writing to the president!

:rofl:

[BlueJazz]

15. Yeah..I caught that. He should just E-Mail my Dog.

He has a better chance of some sort of action.. :)

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

11. freeper or not...

I would not with the airport/customs fucktard freakshow upon anyone!

[Fuzz]

13. That's the point, isn't it? These are the same people laughing that Ted Kennedy

was searched at an airport thinking it was super great.

Idiots.

[snowbear]

12. LOL !!! Good luck on that letter freepnoid!

Did you read this part:

I will write President Bush. That's all I can think to do at the moment"

[Kber]

18. Well, if you are harrassed by security, there isn't really much you can do.

Which is kinda what we liberals have been complaining about for the past few years.

[sniffa]

35. bush can read?

yeah, good Luck with that. :rofl:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. I feel bad for the poor old woman.

Nobody should get stuck with a republic for a SIL.

[Skittles]

17. WHINY BASTARDS AREN'T THEY ???

:nopity:

[TreasonousBastard]

19. On the other hand...

if enough of these "If you don't have anything to hide..." assholes get pissed, it's not just us fighting the battle.

It's about time the faux libertarians found out who the REAL enemy is-- the one they've been bitching about all along.

[Fuzz]

20. I doubt they'd get it, until, of course, a Dem is in the White House.

Then they will all be ready to join militias again.

[Warren DeMontague]

21. I personally think we're well overdue for racial, political, and religious profiling for terrorism.

particularly considering that the vast majority of terror attacks in this country in the past fifteen years have been carried out by white male Christian right-wing extremists.

[Fuzz]

22. Could you even imagine?

Like enacting the 'War on Drugs' in the suburbs. It just wouldn't fly.

[Beaverhausen]

23. I call bullshit on this story - they strip-searched her? LOL!!!

Please...I don't believe this for one minute.

[Beaverhausen]

24. kicking to see if anyone agrees with me

[Bluebear]

26. It never happened, beaverhausen.

Totally agree.

[Missy Vixen]

34. I agree with you, Beaverhausen

Seattle has a large Russian population. My doctor is Russian; she speaks five languages. I agree that Lithuanian does not equal Russian, but Sea-Tac is a major gateway to Asia as well. The airport staff is dealing with those who don't speak English on a daily basis. To strip search a grandmother whose supposed "crime" is nothing more than not speaking English? It would be possible to search her carry on and wand her to determine that she had no cigars, fruit or other contraband. (She spoke no English, but could sob out "Seattle bad, Copenhagen good"? Suuuuuure. I'll bet she's on all local channels this evening. I'll let you all know.)

Obviously, I'm a red-haired, blue eyed American citizen, but we've been lucky enough to travel a bit. I haven't had one problem at any customs or immigration desk I've appeared in front of, including Seattle's, and I didn't always speak the language in the country I might find myself in. I smell a rat. Considering the fact that Seattle is one of those damn liberal enclaves, we believe in treating people as human beings, and there would be hell to pay at Sea-Tac if the TSA ever did anything of the sort described.

25. That's why my grandpa used to always lie at the US/Canadian border

Pre 9-11, when they would ask you where you were born, he and Grandma would just say "the US". Grandma was born in Canada, which wouldn't have been a problem, but Grandpa was born in Austria, his village was taken over by Italy by the time he left for here and the whole thing was so complicated, that it would have made for difficulty crossing the border.

[dogday]

27. It was a damn shame what they put Grandma through

Nobody should have to be treated like this... Stripped and could not understand English...

[Beaverhausen]

28. Do you actually believe the story?

Seriously, they strip-searced her? I think it's BS.

[dogday]

29. Whether or not I believe the story, I believe it

could very probably happen to someone somewhere in an airport....

[Beaverhausen]

32. actually- a lot of the freepers don't believe it either.

some sane ones there, actually.

[trotsky]

31. I don't know what the Freep's motivation would be to make it up.

I could see them fabricating a story of a "REAL" terrorist getting stopped and our brave President saving the day. But this? Naw, I'm inclined to believe it is real, if maybe a bit exaggerated.

[Missy Vixen]

30. Which administration insisted on this level of security?

Why is the draconian security still being shown as full of holes?

In the meantime, we drew the secondary search two years ago coming back into the United States from Canada. We had cat food in our possession, which necessitated unloading our car for a search of our possessions. It's part of the deal when one crosses the border or comes into the United States -- one may be searched. At any time. For any reason. If the person coming into the United States necessitates an interpreter, it's hard for me to imagine why the oh-so-concerned son in law did not have MIL land in Vancouver, BC, for instance, and drive her over the border himself.

It's hard not to laugh when the shoe's on the other foot with them, isn't it?

33. "politically powerful interest groups such as the Muslims "???

Yeah... They breeze right through, no problem...
