DHS to ease passport controls to Saudi nationals but will not offer the same benefit to United States veterans

The Department of Homeland Security has decided to designate some Saudi Arabian travelers as low risk passengers which means after the DHS has determined that they feel certain Saudi Arabians are low risk they will not have to go through the rigorous airport security checks that most of us are forced to go through.

That is all very well and good, after all if a person is a frequent flyer and the government has done an assessment and finds no threat why should they have to go through the airport security checks every single time they fly? That is until you remember how thorough the federal government actually is–after all they did ignore all the warning signs in the case of the Fort Hood terrorist, Nidal Hasan, and allowed him to serve in the United States military alongside the very people he despised. But we are supposed to trust them on this because we are supposed to believe they are competent.

But let us put that aside for the purpose of this post and pretend the government knows what it is doing. I know it is tough, but bear with me.

Why is it that the Department of Homeland Security is in the process of easing security checks on Saudi Arabians at the same time the TSA is abusing United States veterans at these very same checkpoints?

If you are an active duty marine, according to this story, who lost both legs fighting in the war on terror you are forced to remove your prosthetic limbs and are embarrassed in front of everyone at the airport because you do not receive the same preferential treatment as Saudi nationals.

But of course United States servicemen returning from war have been deemed potential domestic terrorists who, according to Dainne Feinstein, cannot be trusted with weapons because they might have mental problems so this really isn’t all that surprising, is it?

This just shows us who the Obama regime feels the real threat to national security really is…..
