Pregnant woman arrested under suspicion of planning suicide bombing
Wednesday, 13 June 2007

Israeli security forces arrested a pregnant Palestinian mother of eight and her niece, also a mother, as they worked to carry out a pair of suicide bombings in Israel, the Shin Bet security agency said today. While several women have blown themselves up in attacks on Israelis in recent years, among them a 64-year-old grandmother, there is no record of a pregnant woman attempting such an attack.

A Shin Bet statement said 39-year-old Fatima Zak and her niece Rawda Habib, 30, were stopped at the Erez crossing from the Gaza Strip into Israel on May 20, and confessed under interrogation that they were on their way to carry out bombings in Tel Aviv and the coastal resort of Netanya on behalf of Islamic Jihad.

It said that before leaving their Gaza homes they filmed video testaments, posing with copies of the Koran in one hand and assault rifles in the other.

They planned to head from Erez to the West Bank city of Ramallah - saying they needed medical tests - where they were to have been met by an Islamic Jihad militant who would give them explosive belts and final instructions, the statement said.

Miss USA Susie Castillo Sexually Assaulted TSA Style

Actress, Miss USA, television personality Susie Castillo on her experience getting groped by the UNCONSTITUTIONAL and ILLEGAL TSA. More people need to COME FORWARD to abolish this useless public molestation/humiliation. THE BORDERS ARE WIDE OPEN.



From Susie's BLOG:

Dear Friends,

To be quite honest, I almost didn't post this video and blog because I kept asking myself, "Am I just being a baby?" I'm also not one to stir up controversy. In fact, I do my best to live a very positive and healthy life. However, in the situation I'm about to describe, I felt truly violated and believe I should let my voice be heard. Ultimately, I hope others will do the same. Mahatma Gandhi famously said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." So, that's what I'm doing by sharing this experience:

On my flight back to Los Angeles last week after hosting the red carpet premiere for "Fast Five" in Rio De Janeiro, I connected in Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) where I had the misfortune of being selected to go through one of those full body scanners that emits radiation. Now, if you don't fly very often, you might not worry about it. But I'm a frequent flyer and don't wish to be irradiated more than I already am on flights (we get a pretty large dose of radiation while flying due to our proximity to the sun; the longer your flight, the more your radiation exposure) and in life in general (we're exposed to radiation all day every day; it's called "background radiation"). So I will always "opt out" of going through these body scanners, especially since the long-term effects of radiation are quite well documented: it mutates our cells, often in irreversible ways, and causes cancer. I'm all set with that!

Anyway, after "opting out," I proceeded to follow a very nice older female TSA employee to the "pat down" area. It was an inconvenience, but I thought, "No biggie. I just went through this at LAX for the first time and it wasn't too bad, so let's just get it over with."

Well, this pat down was completely different. It was MUCH MORE invasive than my first one at LAX, just a week before. To say that I felt invaded is an understatement. What bothered me most was when she ran the back of her hands down my behind, felt around my breasts, and even came in contact with my vagina! Honestly, I was in shock, especially since the woman at LAX never actually touched me there. The TSA employee at DFW touched private area 4 times, going up both legs from behind and from the front, each time touching me there. Was I at my gynecologist's office? No! This was crazy!

I felt completely helpless and violated during the entire process (in fact, I still do), so I became extremely upset. If I wanted to get back to Los Angeles, I had no choice but to be violated, whether by radiation or a stranger. I just kept thinking, "What have I done to deserve this treatment as an upstanding, law-abiding American citizen?" Am I a threat to US security? I was Miss USA, for Pete's sake!

Besides, is this procedure really protecting us? I remember hearing about an Al Qaeda terrorist successfully evading security detection by placing a bomb in his rectum. All in an attempt to assassinate Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef. So what if that happened in the US? Would we then be subjected to random rectal exams in addition to x-rays and being groped by strangers? How far is this going to go? More specifically, how far will WE let this go? As they say, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. I think it's time to stand up for our personal liberty.

As a frequent flyer, I knew getting a "pat down" was inevitable, but I never expected it to make me so upset. When it was over, I grabbed my things, walked over to my husband who was waiting for me, and was completely overcome with emotion.

I have never felt more violated in my life than I did that morning at DFW, and I've heard of others feeling the same way after these "pat downs." Just a couple weeks ago, a video of a six-year-old girl being patted down by TSA made headlines. Talk about unjust and unacceptable. So I decided to speak to a TSA supervisor about how I felt, and make a video about what happened to post on my blog.

This "pat down" is a total violation of our rights (we shouldn't be searched this way without probable cause or a search warrant), therefore I will be filing a complaint via phone, online and also in writing with the TSA to complain each and every time for as long as the TSA is violating my rights.

--snip-- Here's the video I made right after going through the invasive, unjust, unconstitutional and ineffective "pat down." Honestly, I don't like that I'm putting myself out there like this, --snip-

I brought up this old post about PAT DOWNS, and TSA, when I saw this video.

She is crying her eyes out, saying she was molested, and the TSA agent touched her VAGINA 4 times....

Not sure if she was really that upset, maybe she was, but sort of seemed like a publicity stunt to me.

I can tell you I've been patted down not only on a domestic flight (Dallas to Norfolk) but also on Foreign flights as well (Cairo to Milan and Rome to Atlanta). Granted the foreign ones I was in a different country and they had really Really REALLY big guns. So I gave the smile and nodded. I felt sorry for the guy in Dallas, I kept telling him "a bit more to the left please". When he was done I asked where the smoking area was and if he'd meet there later. Luckily for me it was a terribly early flight and he was in a decent mood.

Ehhh, sorry, if I'm going to get card swiped in public I'm going to be uncomfortable (and pissed off). No one should have to go through pat-downs where their genitals are being touch (however brief) for the rest of the airport to witness. (Nor do I think anyone should have to go through them unless there is some kind of raised suspicion.)

You don't know people's past and their history or what they've gone through. Also younger girls and boys and teens who haven't even been touched liked that --not even by a doctor. It can be pretty traumatic.

This woman made her choice when she refused to go through the scanner. While I agree that maybe this one person may have been too thurough with the pat-down, I would like to point out that we as Americian citizens have cried out for the government to do something about terrorism on airplanes. When the govenrnment does what we have asked them to do, why is it that a couple of years later it just isn't convienient? The full body scanner is an excellent alternative to a pat-down. If you are scared of the radiation from the body scan, you are sadly ignorant, but you have the option for a pat-down. If you dont like the treatment you get there, make a complaint or just don't fly. Nobody needs a warrant for a search when you give your consent. You give your consent once when you buy your ticket and the second time when you go through the procedure. They still have cars, trains, and boats that dont require a lot of this extra security that America has demanded. I guess the whole point is that we should be careful of what we ask for. Because we just might get it.

ORLY?

I thought that the TSA was the government's knee-jerk reaction to terrorism.
