Pakistani legislators took personal offense at being asked to submit to full body scans in a Washington airport earlier today. I'm thinking this was premeditated and intended to be a barb aimed the United States because it added Pakistan to its terrorist no fly list. I thought The New York Times seemed to imply this here
These men made sure to let America know that they dissaproved of being placed under extra security. Read the New York Times article, it broke it down there better than I ever could. Essentially, Pakistan is a country where there are a lot of "terrorists." It sucks that it's true but Pakistan needs to continue to butch up and kill Al Queda. They're a nuclear armed country with a large minority that wishes to do harm to America, so to me, it seems entirely justified that they be subjected to extra scrutiny when traveling.
God this is boring. What do people who read this want to know about?
ReplyDeleteYep these people are stupid. Pakistan is a security threat and should have extra screening. At least they have body scans now, imagine the complaining if the bend over grab your ankles cavity search was the only way! Ouch! I think travel between the countries might stop altogether if that were the case.
