Due to respect for issues of modesty, I don't have a big issue with someone wearing a burka, headscarf etc. being exempt from the pat down.

I sure as hell do, especially since it was muslims who were responsible for this whole mess in the first place. Screw modesty, get in line with the rest of us.

Again ths country is becoming too politically correct-and it makes me sick-so why are we all getting the pat down? So if they aren't going to pat down women in Muslim guarb..who do you think will be carrying the next bomb? Is this rocket science? TSA agents are a bunch of untrained government workers-why is everyone okay with this? This country is going down the tubes and everyone thinks "oh okay this is okay."

Now that we have complained enough about the current procedures/equipment already in place, what would you guys change to improve the process.

Oh, I know! Furthermore, it would be the worst kind of bigotry and discrimination to deprive the Muslims of a safe place to hide their bombs and boxcutters and such.

As a Christian, I have the same modesty issues that any Muslim women would have but somehow they get special treatment while I would have to get felt up by the TSA? I don't think so!

What if I have issues with modesty and DON'T wear a burka..can I be exempt or is wearing a burka a requirement for exemption ?

Let's not act as if this was actually a rule or law when it's not. It's someones suggestion, and you know anyone can suggest anything. It will never fly. (hahahaha)

FYI..boxcutters are still being found on planes..this latest on a flight from Japan to Oregon. Flight originated OUTSIDE of the US.
