If You're Pregnant, You Might Be a Terrorist

In a country where all are presumed guilty until scanned, searched, and ID'd in order to prove innocence, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are warning Americans that the expectant mother shopping next to you might be the last thing you see before you're blown into oblivion.

After 9/11, and the alleged use of "box cutters" by Arabs to overcome eight U.S. commercial airline pilots (six of which, by the way, were military veterans), all Americans boarding airplanes were forbidden to carry items like pocket knives, scissors, nail files, etc. After Richard Reid attempted to set his shoes on fire on a cross Atlantic flight, Americans were then required to remove their shoes for scanning. Then, when an alleged Al Quaeda plot to bring liquid explosives on board another cross Atlantic flight, Americans were forbidden to carry any liquid or gel-based product over 3 ounces through the airport check-in. That means toothpaste, hair gel, coffee, and bottled water.

Now, after two Down syndrome females blew themselves up in Baghdad, America's security leaders are concerned a woman feigning pregnancy could be used to deliver a deadly explosive device on American soil. And because the DHS and the TSA do not profile based upon race (e.g., Arab), every pregnant American woman is now suspect.

And still, Christian leaders say nothing.
