On Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was asked by reporters whether Muslim women wearing hijabs would be subjected to the new full body scans and pat downs before boarding planes.
‘Big Sis’ was noncommittal at the time and indicated that the TSA would be making “adjustments” and that there would be “more to come” on the issue.
Now it seems that Homeland Security is genuinely considering giving Muslim women a pass when it comes to the new measures. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained to the government that intrusive full-body scans and pat downs were contrary to their religious sensibilities and Muslim women should not be subjected to these new measures. The Muslim organization is asking the government to allow Muslim women to pat themselves down as an alternative.
Meanwhile CAIR is advising Muslim women wearing religious head covers known as hijabs to reject full-body checks before boarding planes and to demand to see supervisors if required by TSA agents to comply.
