Nigeria and CAIR start whining about new US flight checks

January 5, 2010 — bunkerville

Who is CAIR: 

  • listed by the U.S. government as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing case in U.S. history
  • has numerous founders or members convicted of terrorism-related crimes
  • is currently served with at least one RICO indictment (for deceiving Muslims)
  • has been shunned by the FBI and both Democratic and Republican politicians, and
  • its website is devoid of any denouncement of the multitude of recent Islamic terror attacks against America
  • http://www.investigativeproject.org/profile/172  site for more information on Cair

   Our earlier post:   CAIR speaker to Muslims: OK to attack Fort Bragg

See my tears? Here’s more from a CNN article: 

“Under these new guidelines, almost every American Muslim who travels to see family or friends or goes on pilgrimage to Mecca will automatically be singled out for special security checks — that’s profiling,” said Nihad Awad, the council’s national executive director. “While singling out travelers based on religion and national origin may make some people feel safer, it only serves to alienate and stigmatize Muslims and does nothing to improve airline security.”

A TSA spokesperson, Kristin Lee, responded that “TSA does not profile.”

“As is always the case, TSA security measures are based on threat, not ethnic or religious background,” Lee said.

Jim DeMint does not hold up your vote– so stop your Alinsky tactic.

December 30, 2009 — bunkerville

Does anyone REALLy believe that DeMint can hold up a confirmation for the TSA??? The only thing he insists on, is a recorded vote by the Senate, He wants a hearing. Truth be told, Obama does not want anymore hearings, because up to now, his candidates have been sorely vetted. Tax problems, marxist ties are the standard of the day. It was only last fall that the candidate for TSA was even nominated. NOMINATED!! got that?? There is suppose to be a hearing!!!!!!! He Lied during it and corrected his statement.. now Reid, call for a vote and stop blaming DeMint

However, the article linked below states DeMint cannot hold up the approval process, and that it is actually Reid who needs to schedule the voting and has not yet done so.

So why are they blaming DeMint? Is it like them blaming Republicans for holding up healthcare even though they don’t need senate Republicans to vote? Evidently, they want this nominee approved without a vote or debate.

“It took the president eight months to nominate someone for the post, but that nomination has since been held up by objections from Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, who fears nominee Erroll Southers will unionize TSA screeners.

Now that the administration is launching a full review of airport security procedures, some lawmakers are putting pressure on DeMint to drop the issue. But the South Carolina senator is standing by his opposition, saying the attempted attack only underscores the importance of preventing screeners from clogging up the works with collective bargaining negotiations.

“The attempted terror attack in Detroit is a perfect example of why the Obama administration should not unionize the TSA and allow our airline security decisions to be dictated by union bosses,” DeMint said in a written statement sent to FoxNews.com.

He said TSA has the “flexibility” to respond to threats with immediate security changes, as it did in response to Friday’s incident, but that Southers “appears ready to give union bosses the power to veto or delay future security improvements at our airports.”

Southers apparently has not been clear with DeMint over his position on collective bargaining at the TSA, which prompted a letter from him to Southers in October. DeMint’s objection does not prevent Southers from being approved — but it did trip up any effort to smoothly confirm him without a vote or debate. DeMint’s office blamed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for the delay, saying it’s up to Senate Democrats to schedule the vote. “
