Just laugh the next time you go through airport security in your socks, stand in long lines, and take nothing onboard,pay security fees, etc. We can all pat ourselves on the back for doing all the politically correct hoop jumping even though we and other nations are at war.
So long Europe. So long America. Looking forward to the rollout of the Niqab covered Minnie in CA and FA Disneyl*nd/DisneyW*rld this summer 2007!
The bright side - at least he/she/it wasn't wearing a suicide belt...errr... I guess we will never know.

A man who was being hunted for the murder of a policewoman is understood to have escaped from Britain by disguising himself as a veiled Muslim woman.
Mustaf Jama, a prime suspect in the fatal shooting of PC Sharon Beshenivsky, assumed his sisterâs identity â wearing the niqab and using her passport â to evade supposedly stringent checks at Heathrow, according to police sources.
The use of the niqab, which leaves only a narrow slit for the eyes, highlights flaws in British airport security. At the time, Jama was Britainâs most wanted man, while Heathrow was on a heightened state of alert after the 7/7 terrorist atrocities in London five months previously.
The Times has learnt that British immigration officers rarely carry out a visual check to match a passport photograph with a departing female passengerâs veiled face.
Details of Jamaâs disguise emerged yesterday as his younger brother, Yusuf, awaited a life sentence for the murder of the police officer, who died during an armed robbery at a Bradford travel agency in November last year.
Detectives believe that Jama, 26, was allowed to board an international flight from Heathrow because no attempt was made to uncover his face.
