Is This A Case Of Political Correctness Gone Wild?

Representative Paul Broun (R-Ga.), a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said TSA is too politically correct when it chooses which passengers to search at airport security checkpoints.  On a recent trip, Broun said he saw TSA pat down an elderly person and a child, but not a man he himself deemed suspicious.

"I walked through and right behind me there was a grandmother a little old lady, and she was patted down," Broun said.  "Right behind her was a little kid who was patted down. And then right behind him was a guy in Arabian dress who just walked right through. Why are we patting down grandma and kids?"

"We have to identify those people we do that through human intelligence, we do that by trying to get into the inner circle," he said. "Focus upon those individuals, not on the general public. Unfortunately, I think the Department of Homeland Security has been focusing on the general public and have been afraid of political correctness.

"We've got to forget political correctness," Broun continued. "We've got to start focusing on those people who want to harm us as a nation."

Broun is right.  The Barack Obama administration is more concerned with not offending Muslims than he is protecting American citizens.  The tactics used by TSA are ridiculous.  To date the TSA has not stopped one threat to our safety with their groping of Americans.  This is more a tactic to control us than protect us.
