If that were the case, wouldn't they want to let this information be known, in an effort to justify their decision?
no, at that point they just want resolution of the immediate issue, not publicity

You really have no clue how stupid it makes you look trying to draw some moral equivalency between bikers and Islamic terrorists so you?
the 44k bikers that the FBI says are part of widespread criminal activity which includes murder, rape, and the illicit trafficking of humans, guns, and narcotics indicates to me that under your "PC ends at the gate" line I can treat bikers with the same worry you think its ok to treat American Muslims with.
A murderer is a murderer no matter how you cut it and there are plenty that are in biker gangs.
and lol at saying Muslims are the only ones that look to kill mass amounts of people.
The reason I mentioned Serbs was b/c that genocide was actually committed against Muslims. There are crazy fricks all over the world that do mass killings and campaigns of terror. Its not just Muslims.

And you still look like a fool comparing bikers to terrorists.

Wait... A minute ago you didn't want to hear about attacks overseas. Now it's OK to count those? OK, let's count those. For time purposes, feel free to start post 9/11. Better yet, let's just take last year for example....
Well, nevermind, I was going to quote jsut hte Islamic terrorist attacks from 2015 but when I tired I got an error message saying

That's not political correctness, it's downright discrimination.

Sucks to know how many cowards like you there really are. Worried about the feelings of one instead of the safety of many.

And this is the point on which I fundamentally disagree with you. Blanketed prejudice towards Muslims is exactly what radical Muslims want more than anything else. That would be their single greatest recruiting tool and it is the exact reason that they undertake terrorists activities in the first place.
I actually agree with this, the reason I'm speaking in absolutes is the fact that I do not hear nearly enough Muslims marching/protesting against terrorism. It makes me really wonder what their end game is, if they themselves aren't radical, but don't openly oppose those who are.

There's about 1.5 billion (yes, billion) Muslims around the world. How many of them are blowing up airplanes? A couple of times a year maybe? Out of 1.5 billion? Yeah, that's just soooo alarming ...
Just 1 time is alarming. So, yes. It is alarming.

Yeah. No need for alarm here, ladies and gentleman. Everything is fine...

Good. They should have thrown that terrorist-in-training out the exit door.

Everybody knows that the 9/11 terrorists were on their cell phones when they got on the planes, calling their buddies and telling them how they were about to do some jihad. Good for this lady, she probably saved 100 lives.

are you one of those tards who applaud when a blue haired granny in a walker is taken out of line and searched extra hard? "Omg look how not racist I am, I convinced myself that all demographics blow up planes at the same rate!"

I just can't imagine why anyone would ever think a Muslim would commit a terrorist act. It's just so unthinkable.

There's a pretty big difference in giving extra screening to Muslims and kicking anyone speaking Arabic off planes, can we at least agree on that?

I was flying to Europe but the flight was going to India and laying over in Europe. Almost all middle eastern people. And there were probably a dozen detectives searching for someone when we were boarding. I ain't proud of it but I was pretty worried.

That is exactly what happened. An Arabic-speaking Southwest Airlines employee of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent came to his seat and escorted him off the plane a few minutes after his call ended, he said. The man introduced himself in Arabic and then switched to English to ask, "Why were you speaking Arabic in the plane?"
Posted on 4/18/16 at 9:19 pm to LSUTANGERINE
Good!

I sat behind Lew Alcindor back in the 70s on a flight from LA to Phoenix. He spoke Jive and the white stewardess understood every word and threw it back him... Hilarious

How is this comparable?
