Man, there's grift in the government at all levels. I've mentioned many times that much of what the TSA has been doing since 9/11 isn't security but security theatre. Stuff that makes the masses "feel" safe but not actually make us safe.
You are a fucking idiot. Or have multiple personalities.

Are Muslim women wearing burkas exempt from screening? One rumor making the rounds is that Muslim women wearing hijabs (scarves that cover the head and face) or burkas (loose garments that cover the entire body, leaving an opening for the eyes) would be exempt from TSA screening due to religious reasons. This rumor seems to stem from a press release by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that notes that Muslim scholars say that full body scans are a violation of Islamic law. The press release gives a list of recommendations that include the suggestion that they ask to pat themselves down, but does not claim that they be exempt from screening.
According to the officer I spoke with, the only instance in which self-pat-downs are allowed is in the case of turbans. The wearer still must go through screening, including the body scan, but is allowed to pat down the turban himself. The TSA screener then conducts a chemical test of the wearer’s hands to ensure that no explosives are present. This exception is due to the religious significance of the turban to Sikhs and is consistent with CAIR’s recommendations.
Note that CAIR does not claim that Muslims are exempt from either body scans or pat-downs. The press release notes that “if you opt out of the full-image body scanner, you have the right to request that the manual search be conducted in private.” This is a tacit acceptance of the fact that Muslims do have to abide by the law and undergo body scans, pat-downs, or in some cases both.
Further, the TSA website notes that travelers who wear baggy clothing or head coverings could be subjected to additional screening, rather than being exempted. A claim that President Obama exempted the Muslim women from screening appears to be ungrounded in any sort of reality.
