Just a thought.... why does CAIR discriminate against those who appear to be of middle eastern background by denying them job opportunities in red team... it's not like the members are forced into it...

I just found out why CAIR made the comment it did. CAIR was made aware of yet another incident of DHS paying an anti-muslim bigot to conduct "security" training and otherwise speak at events it sponsors, thus fueling paranoia about "muslims and brown people".

DHS, of which TSA is a huge part, has a history of doing this playing into the worst stereotypes imaginable. That's why they understandably complained.

Yeah, this isn't going to help.
And with good reason...TSO's like to "tin" cops on traffic stops - thinking they will get "professional courtesy" Its usually the opposite - full gig and a 'have a nice day' from the real cops to the TSO
