Transportation Minister (and scumbag!) John Baird was unapologetic Sunday about the invasive search of an 85-year-old woman conducted by security personnel at the Ottawa Airport.
Baird was asked by media Sunday about the treatment of the four-foot-10, 90-pound woman who was traveling from Ottawa to Toronto on Dec. 28. The woman was asked to remove her boots and then unzip her pants. A female inspection officer then poked at her abdomen.
This flight was a short local flight, not even international! Are we really that eager to become the United States? Led by a government hell bent on making us paranoid of everything? Everyone?
The woman’s niece, Cynthia Sutcliffe, said that the former federal public servant is now “terrified” of airport security and that the search was “extreme.”
But Baird argued that even people who seem non-threatening cannot be disregarded by security.
“The reality is, as we’ve seen in Iraq, the al-Qaida network has put explosive devices on developmentally disabled adults and then sent them into marketplaces where their bombs were detonated,” Baird said on the Sunday TV show Question Period. “Obviously we have to deal with every concern. I think we should use common sense.”
But Sutcliffe said her aunt’s search doesn’t pass that “common sense” test.
“I still stand by my disappointment in how they treated my aunt, but I understand Baird’s position at the same time,” said Sutcliffe.
Sutcliffe’s aunt was taken from an Air Canada security line during a random search.
I really tried to find a more flattering image of Baird to post, but in each one he looked bellicose, angry, no necked, and brutish. This was the best I could find. Sensitive little flower isn't he?
“She has osteoporosis and her stomach protrudes a little bit,” Sutcliffe said. “But that is no reason for this kind of search.”
Sutcliffe said her aunt is frightened she will be searched again.
Next time her aunt flies, Sutcliffe said she will get a pass that will allow her to take her aunt to the boarding area, an option she was previously unaware of.
As part of new airport security measures, Baird explained that 44 full-body scanners, at a cost of $11 million, will soon be arriving in major airports across Canada. Twelve scanners are arriving this week while the rest will come in five to 10 weeks.
At Canadian airports, adults will have the option of either going through a full-body scanner or being subject to a pat-down. Youth under 18 will not have to go through a scanner and will be patted down instead, said Baird.
Sutcliffe is skeptical of full-body scans because some elderly people who go through the scanners will be wearing incontinence briefs.
“I want them to catch the bad guys, don’t kid yourself. But if it’s your grandmother or grandfather who is going to be wearing those undergarments for personal incontinence and things, and then they start saying, ‘Well the guy that blew up the plane had the stuff in his underwear,’ where do we stop?”
Baird is framed by a full-body scanner while speaking during a news conference in. Canada plans to introduce full-body scanners at all its major international airports to tighten security after the failed attack last month on a U.S.-bound plane, Baird said.
'Naked scanners' may increase air security tax
PERHAPS THEY SHOULD TELL THE TRUTH
ABOUT THIS CONTRIVED
UNDERPANT BOMBER.
The airplane never blew up By the way. Not even a chance of it happening.
Seems there is misinformation being fed to the public already.
The kid didn’t have a passport.
There needed to be a detonator to set off the explosives and there wasn’t one found.
He was helped onto the plane by some one in authority. Someone who was well dressed in a suit, about 50 or so, according to eye witnesses.
He didn’t talk to anyone. Someone else did all the talking for him.
Security was run by the same company that let the shoe bomber threw in 2001 and at the airports on 9/11. Red flag alert! Red flag alert!
So who helped put the kid on the plane?
Witnesses wonder and so should we.
Was it Mossad, was it CIA or was it the Israeli Security at the Airport or all, who helped the kid onto the plane? Witness told us he had help.
Where is the video surveillance tapes? Of course by the time we see them they could be altered. Or have they miraculously vanished?
So what is the connection between the Security company at the airport and those who make the scanners? Inquiring minds wish to know.
Who was video taping the entire thing? Someone was. Witnesses already told us that. And that video has not surfaced yet.
I think these questions should be asked to a whole lot of politicians world wide.
Seems to me this is just a scam to sell scanners.
Actually, it is a plan to place the already paid for scanners into place as part of the control grid they are laying in place to restrict our every breath, thought, action.
As for the scanners????
How safe are they really? How much radiation will one be exposed to when going through them? What are the long term side affects for those who go through them often? Will they cause cancer or other illnesses? Nice way to carry on with the world wide genocide and induce more illnesses to make money on in the medical system while simultaneously shearing years from a life.
A few more questions that should be asked of politicians world wide.
Scanners see you naked ,viewers will just love their job now.
Nothing like seeing naked bodies all day. A perverts dream job.
Considering the Detroit incident was probably staged. PROBABLY?
Well seems sales for those scanners will be doing just fine because of it.
Anything for profit.
Who are they getting the scanners from? I wonder.
Canadians and those in other countries should be asking.
Canada is into this up to the eyeballs. Canada is so NWO bought and sold that it is shocking to the naive and normally apathetic Canadian.
