You're the dummy, assmunch. It is NOT a religious slur to question the practice of employing muslims as TSA agents.

It's not?

How about if we ban Mormons from teaching jobs where they would be in contact with young girls? So that they don't have an opportunity to recruit them into polygamy.

People can come into contact with young girls in many different jobs, circumstances, environments, etc. Someone working as a TSA agent has specific access, and security clearances that are made available to few others. Your comparison is ridiculous.

uh...if they have a security clearance that means they passed a background check. There's no reason to suspect disloyalty.

And, to absolutely nobody's surprise, NorCal misses the point entirely. Lebowski's comparison has nothing to do with the job in question. It has everything to do with the stereotype that would lead you to believe somebody is not fit for that sort of job.

*Caveat: this is not relevant to you if you're the sort of person who has no problem letting Tom Green be a private, unsupervised school tutor to your 14 year old daughter. I don't know you well enough to know if you're that sort of person; if you are, I withdraw my comments and I'm sorry - you have far bigger problems to deal with.

Stereotype?! What the hell are you talking about Sponge Brain? It's not a stereotype that al quaeda, and the terrorists from 9/11 are radical muslims, it is a FACT. It is also a fact that radical muslims are a subset of muslims. It is also a fact that radical muslim beliefs are taught within the mosques in the USA. Radical muslims recruit in the mosques in the USA. It is entirely possible that a muslim TSA agent could be persuaded to join the radical movement. Therefore, why not just eliminate any chance of one of them being a TSA agent, and not hire any muslims at all?

*Caveat: this discussion is not relevant if you are such a dolt that you don't think we should be profiling people to do determine who is searched at airports either.

How many muslims do you actually know?

A radical muslim is a muslim the same way that a polygamist pedaphile mormon is a mormon.

Does this apply to people who work security for ports that were to be held by Dubai Ports World?

I disagree with a lot of people here a lot of the time, but I'm glad Mike made a place where comments live or die on their merit, and not some mods sense of piety. Thanks again Mike, I don't post much, but I read Cougarguard often.
