More details on Sadeq Naji Ahmed, the jihadist airport screener, courtesy Debbie Schlussel:
Do overbearing, shoe-removing searches at the airport make you feel safe? How about the crisp black and white uniforms of screeners since Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) took over?Sadeq Naji Ahmed is Exhibit A that you are not safer, that the TSA isn’t screening the screeners. He’s also proof positive that radical Muslims in the military can get away with say anything, while other soldiers cannot.
For almost two years, Ahmed was a baggage screener at Detroit’s Metro Airport, despite his frightening background.
Ahmed, a Yemeni Muslim since indicted in federal court in Detroit, was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force. That might seem well and good, but the circumstances behind the discharge aren’t so honorable.
Between 1999 and the 9/11 attacks, Ahmed—then an airman stationed at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida—made statements in support of Osama Bin Laden, said he was not against the 9/11 attacks, that the U.S. deserved to be attacked, that he wouldn’t fight if the U.S. took action in Iraq, and that U.S. aircraft over Iraq should crash.
Ahmed was an information systems analyst with security clearances—not a position optimally occupied by an America-hating, Bin Laden booster.
Because of Ahmed’s statements, his security clearance to classified information and restricted areas of the base was suspended on September 17, 2001, and he was assigned administrative duty. On September 28, 2001—even though he had two months to go on his tour of duty—Ahmed was given an expedited honorable discharge, in order to effect Ahmed’s “removal from the U.S. military as quickly as possible,” according to his indictment. Rather than do the right thing and court-martial him, the Air Force made his life easier.
Unfortunately, the TSA quickly picked up this hot potato and kept him.
In December 2001, Ahmed became a baggage screener at Metro Airport, when it was handled by a private contractor. That’s bad enough.
Remember how the TSA was supposed to improve screening security and background checks for screeners, when it took over? In October 2002, BEFORE doing a background check on him, the TSA hired Ahmed. He lied on his application regarding the circumstances of his discharge and security clearance loss.
But the lies—for which he’s now being tried by a member of the U.S. Attorney’s Terrorism Task Force—weren’t discovered until August 2003, when Ahmed was terminated.
Almost a full year to do a background check before discovering lies on an application? Allowing the lying employee on the job for a year before he was screened? Isn’t the background check supposed to take place BEFORE the employee is hired?
Don’t you feel safer, now that TSA security is in place?
Incredibly, TSA spokeswoman Amy von Walter feels Ahmed’s case demonstrates the diligence of her agency’s background checks. “This incident highlights the importance of the in-depth background checks performed by the agency,” she told a Detroit newspaper.No, the incident highlights the incompetence of the agency’s background checks and the absurdity that a pro-Bin Laden, anti-American employee could be on the job for nearly a year before that check is thoroughly conducted.
In the year before he was terminated, the disloyal Ahmed could have easily endangered American travelers’ lives—something to be expected given his pro-Bin Laden, anti-American statements. He could have easily allowed baggage containing explosives to pass undetected onto aircraft.
But the TSA isn’t the only government agency to blame for Ahmed’s almost two-year reign of possible danger to Americans. The Air Force deserves its fair share of blame.
Rather than court-martial and dishonorably discharge Ahmed, the Air Force took the meek course and set the stage for possible danger against civilian Americans flying the now not-so-friendly skies.
Had Ahmed been a non-Muslim, the government would have gotten tough.
Soldiers don’t have unfettered free speech rights. Article 134, known as the “Disloyal Statements” provision of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice, provides for penalties by court-martial for “disloyal statements” made "with the intent to promote disloyalty or disaffection toward the United States by any member of the armed forces or to interfere with or impair the loyalty to the United States."
Ahmed’s treasonous statements fit the U.S. government’s “Manual for Courts Martial‘s” definition of punishable disloyal statements, like a glove:
“Examples include praising the enemy, attacking the war aims of the United States . . . . A declaration of personal belief can amount to a disloyal statement if it disavows allegiance owed to the United States by the declarant.”
Unlike Ahmed, soldiers have been court-martialed and brought up on Article 134 “disloyal statement” charges for:
A letter to the editor questioning the war in Iraq;
Comments to a reporter questioning the war in Iraq, but saying he’d do his part and fight; and
Telling other soldiers he would not fight in Vietnam if ordered to.
But those soldiers had one thing in common: Unlike Ahmed, they’re not Muslim. They didn’t get handled with politically correct kid gloves. And unlike Ahmed, not one of them praised the enemy and wished for America’s failure.Yet, Ahmed was rewarded with an honorable discharge and evading his required duty, allowing him to get screening jobs at airports.
And courtesy of weak-kneed U.S. Air Force and incompetent TSA officials, Sadeq Naji Ahmed had almost a year to endanger American passengers lives.
We’re just lucky he didn’t.
The inmates are running the asylum.
No, Carolyn2, just the usual incompetent beaurocrats.
None of us in the Civilized World will ever again be safe until Islam is outlawed and 100% of the Muslim population either converted to something else or deported.
But no one should be surprised at the revelations revealed in this article. Most of these things (Muslims wishing death and destruction on the American people)are in plain sight to anyone willing to look.
Nonetheless, we will not be entitled to any pity parties when a tragedy sooner or later results from our country's government and institutions knowingly (and, might I add,shamefully) permitting Muslims to remain in America under the disproven notion that the majority of muslims are loyal, freedom-loving citizens.
We have long known full well America (along with most other western nations) is skating on VERY thin ice letting Muslims remain within our borders!!!
At least the french should feel a little safer
Huge Semtex haul found in France
Semtex: Invented in 1966 in former Czechoslovakia
French police are questioning several people after seizing 100kg (220lb) of Semtex explosive hidden in a lorry in the northern town of Hazebrouck.
The operation on Saturday was part of an investigation into organised crime. The plastic explosive was allegedly bound for Paris.
Hazebrouck lies 30km (20 miles) from the Channel port of Calais and is also near the Belgian border.
Semtex - a Czech-made explosive - has been used by various terrorist groups.
The French prosecutor's office said it believed the Semtex seized on Saturday was to be divided up and sold to criminal gangs, rather than to terrorists, Reuters reported.
No details about the suspects were released.
Observers say Semtex can be hard to detect and as little as 250g can bring down an airliner.
There is no airport security, read Infilitration: How Muslim Spies and subversives have infiltrated Washington Thanks to Grover "Abudullah" Norquist, Karl "Ali" Rove, Norm Mineta, Robert "Muhammad" Mueller, muslim votes and Saudi Money, the Republican Party and this administration are in essence dhimmis.
The bend over backwards not to "profile" thus some old gray haird woman of European descent will be pulled out of line and "strip searched", while an obvious Arab walks easily throuogh.

For Gary and other right wingers who believes that the devil is left wing.
Page 270 - 272, a list of Republican Boosters of Islam includes Tom Campbell, Spencer Abraham, Paul Findley and
Dana Rohrbacher: "if you think only bleeding heart liberals consort with Muslim militants and do their bidding think again,U.S. Rep Dana Rohrbacher is a rock ribbed, flag waving conservative hawk who has nonethelss joined Almoudi and his associates in slamming U.S. Policy in the Middle East, while accepting their money.
Then there is the House of Bush House of Saud connection (familial, friendly and financial).
And our problems are all caused by the "left"?
Yeh right, and horses have five legs.
Shiva-
If the French would loan us the confiscated Semtex, I suggest we strap it to S. N. Ahmed, insert a detonator, and send him on a one way flight to the next world- with 72 condoms in his pocket for luck.
Traitors and fools, the perfect pas de deux.
As Juvenal mocked:
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"
(Who will watch the watchers?)
I guess we should wonder why this guy wanted to work in this position, considering his views.
Or did he just like groping infidel babes?
It appears as more revelations are made about Muslim undesirables in the military receiving kid glove treatment that a double standard is definitely at play in our armed services. Recall just a few months ago the Muslim marine that deserted in Iraq and returned with a tall tale of having been kidnapped. He was allowed to roam around free until he was suppose to appear for trial, but deserted again and I don't believe has been heard from since. I know of no other circumstance where a solider awaiting trial for desertion during war time would be allowed outside a brig for anything except exercise under the watchful eyes of armed guards. When it comes to Muslims in the military it looks like racial PC has run amuck.
Yes, we know there must be all sorts of regular criminal gangs in France, as opposed to terrorist gangs, who need vast quantities of Semtex to commit burglaries, etc.
The article 134 courts marshall describes another unfit to serve Lt.JG that was a traitor for his last 18 months in reserve status and that if the truth be known got a dishonorable discharge that was changed by another ex navy officer in 1978. but he wont release or sign the DD 180 to open his records. he too would have been allowed to have an important job by the TSA. As it is Because of the sealed military records he knew about the lapses in the security at logan Mass on sept 11 and failed to act again.
Pythagoras: Converting isn't going to work very well in light of Taqiyya. In fact, religiously condoned deception is probably more common than uncommon in religions. There is no commandment such as "Thou shalt not lie" in either Christianity or Judaism for that matter. Although as far as I know both Islam and Judaism take it further than Christianity ever would.
Consider what happened in Spain when they tried forced conversions:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_inquisition
Basically they "converted", but secretly practiced their religion anyway. Same thing happened in the Soviet Union when they outlawed other religions there, the religions just went underground. Forced conversions are very poorly thought out.
In fact, the Jewish "converts" were called Marranos, meaning pig. Taken from the fact that they used to eat pork in public to "prove" their Christianity. It reminds me of idiotic but zealous Christians who think that dipping bullets in blood is somehow going to act like garlic to Vampires. Uh, no.
The permanent way to fix this problem is:
Step 1: Stop immigration from populations with large or majority Muslim populations.
Step 2: Gather information, a database of likely Muslims.
Step 3: Forced deportation.
Optional Step 4: Neutron nuke homelands, stop the "money weapon" entirely.
I'm not sure how this is to be justified constitutionally, but this is the only practical solution I see.
