Son of Portland Muslim leader blocked from flying

PORTLAND - The son of a prominent Muslim leader in the Portland area was told he could not fly home to Portland because he’s on a list that airports use to identify suspected terrorists.

Now his family wants to know why.

“All of a sudden I'm on the watch list. I've flown before and this has never happened before,” Shehab Ahmed told KGW Wednesday.

Ahmed first thought it was a mistake. Then, he was so shocked, he didn’t know what to say.

2. Double SIGH...

What's ironic is:
All the utterly USELESS bullshit the government does, in it's attempt to create the vague perception that it is protecting us...

...Is probably less effort than it would take to actually PROTECT us!

The DHS's REAL job is not 'guarding the Homeland'; rather, it exists to create the ILLUSION that the 'Homeland' is being threatened.

3. Another step towards concentration camp syndrome

First you prevent people from commuting.
Next it is house arrest.
Finally it is to the concentration camp.

First it will be Muslims, and then it could be you!!
