This is the main photo-story at the Drudge Report right now, accompanied by the headline:
THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON
.
I don't know about that, but I do know that there's something very disconcerting, indeed quite outrageous, to see a picture showing a Catholic nun in her religious habit being ignominiously groped by an airport TSA worker. Note that the picture shows what
appears to be a hijab (head scarf) being worn by the TSA worker. Think about the irony of
that juxtaposition. How many Catholic nuns do you know of who have committed acts of terrorism against an airliner and its passengers & crew? Hmm . . . I can't think of any. Can you? Of course, it's quite possible that it is not a hijab that the worker is wearing. But the picture gives that impression. In itself, it's an insignificant detail, but given the circumstances we're living in these days, it's certainly... remarkable, to say the least.
