I don’t see people paying $1200 to fly sfo to lax couch and don’t snicker it’s not far off.

Oh, I agree. And as for traveling overseas, which I have to do occasionally, I’m going to be eating Ramen noodles for months to pay for the stupid ticket.

A second air marshal said one agent “has been getting harassed for six years because his exact name is on the no-fly list.”

It probably would have taken less time for him to legally change his name.

First, Your header is misleading. The TSA is not removing the names of Federal Air Marshals on the No-Fly List, they are only initiating a work-around backdoor so that when an air marshal’s name is found on the list, there is a Security Directive that allows the airline and or the TSA screener to ignore the list and allow the air marshal to board the aircraft based on his or her federal credentials. That’s far different than just deleting the air marshals name from the list.

Second, rest assured, the air marshals that are on the list do not have Muslim names. That is a fallacy and not why a person is placed on the No-Fly List.

I doubt if Dr. Majidi qualified for “affirmative action”. Gabe, did this expert in WMD commit a crime?

I don’t know, Zorro. It is disconcerting to have a Muslim that worked at Los Alamos in charge of defending us from weapons proliferation:

While at the Laboratory [Los Alamos], Dr. Majidi led the Chemistry Division, directing critical programs in areas such as nuclear weapons-related research, non/counter-proliferation, homeland security, isotope science, applied energy, and nanoscale science and engineering.

What we do know is that when it comes to government, you have all sorts of bureaucratic affirmative action and “diversity” programs, and they boast about it, too. The whole reason Dr. Majidi is featured here is to show how “enlightened” the FBI is. It is probably why he got the job and the featured story as well.

Muslims can easily exploit this. I wonder how many Muslims are now air marshalls. (I have no problem with Arab Christians and strongly support their immigrating to America.)

Likewise, there has to be this same type of thing going on in Homeland Security. If there is a big problem with many air marshalls’ names being on the terrorist no fly list, the question is why do so many air marshalls have Muslim names. . .and why is the government hiring Muslims to be air marshalls to start with?

Thanks see-dubya for yet another knee slapper on how well our inept federal agencies fail to work with one another no matter how dangerous it makes traveling by commercial airliner for the average citizen. Other than the DOD I am amazed anything ever gets accomplished by our swollen inept federal agencies.

Amen Boomer… Thank you See-Dubya this just makes the case for the ” Le Revolution” VIVA LE PURGE… and to think Dems and Libs want to give more power to agencies unable to fix a simple problem that protects “The People” i see a ID10T situation.

With government always comes affirmative action, and Muslims are experts at exploiting it. I wonder how many Muslims are now air marshalls.
