Islam Costs Billions at Airports

    Conversion to Islam or any other faith is an artificial construct. Anything artificial will lack deeper conviction and engender self-doubt – a seemingly stable man becomes unstable needlessly. If you want to abdicate your religion, go ahead by all means. But don’t jump to another religion blindly. It is like jumping from the frying pan to fire. Atheists don’t burn prayer houses of any faith but faith-followers do when they lose their head.

    “All this hassle for everyone due to Islam.”

    NO.

    ALL OF THESE HASSLES ARE DUE TO THE FACT THAT, CHRISTIANS, “HINDUS” AND BUDDHISTS DO NOT PROFILE MUSLIM PASSENGERS.

    IF THE ETHNIC GROUP OF MUSLIMS IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR AEROPLANE HIJACKING WORLDWIDE, THEN AIRPORT-SECURITY-SYSTEMS SHOULD PROFILE MUSLIMS CAREFULLY.

    Concerning the topic of Airport Security before September 11, 2001 during the 1990’s which seemed be sadly nothing but a hoax of show for the public. For a year of that decade I had a job as a security screener. As a type of airport security guard all of us, the security personal, had to follow the rules which allowed and non- serrated knifes and box cutter on the airplane as long as the sharp objects where under two inches long .So during a visited from one of the top person of the security company I told her “Those non-serrated knifes and box cutters can still be very dangerous and harmful in the hands of the wrong person.” Her response to me for saying that was only silence and an angry look that gave the message “Don’t you dare ever say such a thing as that again.”

    As for the security supervisors said to be “In my opinion this is just a set of as a [empty] show for the traveling public to make them feel safe.” One time a man walked through the metal detector and the alarm, buzzer, didn’t go off when he was wearing a rather large metal belt buckle. So he informed me about it. So I replied “Standing over there next to each other is the security manager and security supervisor its best if you inform them about that.” After he informed them they thanked him and said that they would look in that, they didn’t. Other time a supervisor said to me that “This security set up is bull S….” He even berated me for ,a number of times, when I called for bag check saying “Does that look like a test item ?” He really didn’t want to bother to get off his seat for make a bag check. I said to him “ I can’t see through the item maybe something dangerous is hidden being it .” On hearing that and he threw his head back and went through his eye rolling routine as to say “Don’t start getting ridiculous on me, nothing awful will ever happen.”

    This might be somewhat related to a news report in the year 2005 about another airport ,the Chicago airport, which the news crew had a hidden counting devise and a hidden camera. They had counted one thousand bags went through the airport security and not even once was a call for a bag check. Went that confronted the security supervisor about that he said “There was nothing suspicious to call a check about” The news crew said “Still after a thousand bags, and not one need for a bag check call” That supervisor just restated “There was not a need for a bag check call.” Of course he wouldn’t change his story. If that airport was like the one of works at the call was not made because the security supervisor would “tell off” that security screener for making a call for a bag check.
