TSA Boss Explains Groping Grandma Necessary Because U.S. Doesn’t ‘Profile’

Posted on | November 22, 2010 | 12 Comments

Gateway Pundit has CNN video with TSA chief John Pistole telling Candy Crowley:

“I think the Israeli model, which a number of people have talked about, uses intelligence in a different way, profiling. . . . That is top-notch security. The question is, do we profile here in the U.S.? No, we don’t.”

So when a 7-year-old girl says, “Grandmama, they touched you on your special girl spots,” you know why.

Obama’s not listening to you. He’s listening to “experts.”

All this, the New York Times would have you believe, is about a “debate over the proper balance of security and privacy.” But the grannies and children being groped in airports are not a threat to anyone’s security, so there’s nothing to balance.

    This is such a winning issue for the Tea Party. Can you foresee the plethora of ads declaring support for profiling and asking whether the opponent does.

    Michael:

    My thoughts indeed! I was just saying to a friend yesterday, Sarah Palin could get a lot of mileage with this “slogan”:

    “To deal with terrorism, we need a Kick-Ass President, not a Feel-Ass President”

    Bill Clinton used to say he felt your pain…but Team Obama really wants to feel you.

    As a former resident in Israel,I can testify it’s more of a psychological proflie than racial,a l’affair Hindawi-Murphy in 1986.

    In other words the US doesn’t profile because of excessive stupidity? Yeah, that works.
