You're working airport security, a woman whose water you just confiscated tells you "Do I look like a terrorist? I have blonde hair and blue eyes. Terrorists don't have blonde hair and blue eyes." What would be your response?

Is this a blonde joke?

stfu =). jk. kind of

I say "well you could be a drug mule"! P.S My white female friend who travels all over the World, as a humanitarian, is on the Watch list and gets stopped everytime she flies. She about 112lbs and has blond hair and blue eyes. The last time she was standing by a arab guy, with the turban and everything. He didn't get stopped. Go figure. =)

"I'm sorry, the rules don't discriminate, even if you do."
-
I say: Look honey I know your not a terrorist but you remind me of my EX and since I hate her I'll just make your life hell, it makes me feel better...now have a nice day...
-
Timothy McVeigh had blonde hair and blue eyes.
-
"Really! What else do you know about terrorists!?"
-
"Ma'am, the rules apply to everybody."
-
Unless you want a vacation in Gitmo - stop holding up the line and get your conceited heinie on the plane...
-
I've been working airport security for 2 years and never had that happen, they're always quite apologetic. I would just say "It doesn't matter, we don't discriminate."
-
Exactly the sort of person terrorists would choose if they could get hold of them.
-
I would say "no terorists don't...but Nazi's do, now empty your pockets or tell me where the gold is"
-
This almost sounds like one of those dumb blonde jokes. Here is an excerpt from ABC News 6/25/08: http://prisonplanet.com/articles/june2008/250608_b_ABC.htm
-
Of course they do, especially as they now know that people of Middle Eastern appearance are being paid attention to. Logical response? Recruit non-ARabs.
-
Thanks for the free water............maam
-
No...But Nazis do.
-
I would say, loud enough so everyone could hear "No I will not have sex with you! Now move along!"
-
My response would be to take out a note book and pen and say " Yes madam and just what else do you know about terrorists? One moment, I better call security here we may need a full cavity search". But as a side line, why would you confiscate water?
-
"what DOES a terrorist look like?"
-
Ma'am, I'm sorry, but I'm required to take this. Even though you might think you don't look like a terrorist, WE think everyone's a potential suspect. Again, we're sorry, but it's for your own good.
-
Ask her if shes never heard "you cant judge a book by its cover"?Then ask where she got her boobies done.After all she blonde.
-
I'd probably say something like, "You know what? You're right! You look more like a white supremacist than a terrorist. What was I thinking??"
-
i would scream at the top on my lungs SEIG HEIL! then do the nazi salutethen start marching towards the door, then later that day i would grow a little hitler stash and take over the world! muahahahahah
-
"Maam, you should have familiarized yourself with the rules before coming to the airport. This bottle is an infraction to a rule and you are guilty of violating that rule by bringing it with you. Arguing or otherwise breaking more rules will result in us detaining you for full search and interrogation ... you will miss this flight and possibly be banned from any future flights ... you may choose to be calm, compliant, and courteous, or may choose to be obstructive, uncooperative, and aggressive ... I will respond accordingly ... how do you choose, maam?"
-
I would say, "Hitler liked people with Blond hair and blue eyes. You must be a Nazi. Also your stupidity is far more terrorizing than Osama Bin Laden. You must be a terrorist. I mean you are far more stupid than any man could hope to be.
-
I wouldn't say anything. I'd be too busy wrestling her to the ground and cuffing her while shouting "Swarm!! Swarm!!" in to my lapel microphone.
-
Timothy McVeigh did yo...
-
"I don't know about that. Plenty of Serbian Muslims are blue-eyed blonds."
-
please step into the back room for a strip search please...:) I dont know what the procedure for that type of thing. If I had to guess i'd say be professional and not take it personal.
-
Color contacts and hair dye.
-
"Hey lady, I'm just doing the job I was paid to do! If you don't like the security, drive."
-
Blonde hair and blue eyes, eh? "Ma'am, would you step this way please for a gratuitous body cavity search?"
-
My response would be: "Pre-tell ma'am, what do terrorists look like? I certainly hope that you're not implying that terrorists are only of middle eastern descent, because that would be racial profiling, something airport security is prohibited from doing. Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. Now move along."
-
I love to say that they've pissed me off and are now going to jail.
-
I woluld say very quietly "Ma'am you are drunk and blonde?. You will sober up, but you will still be blonde."
-
"I didn't look at you....I looked in your belongings and this bottle is on the confiscation list. Not happy with that? See my supervisor. Move along please"
-
Tell her that you do not own a terrorist manual - but blonde hair can be bought in a kit (hair dye) and blue eyes (color contacts)can be bought, also.
-
Tim McVeigh had blonde hair and blue eyes .
-
You could have dyed your hair and worn colored contact lens! NEXT!
-
If you insist on delaying other passengers and wish to discuss this further, I'd be happy to detain you in a private cubicle with several of my co-workers and supervisor.
-
Listen!!! looks are immaterial.
-
Sorry, ma'am. I'm just doing my job. Please proceed.
-
Well lil lady..a bear doesnt carry a machine gun but he can still kill ya!
-
Mam, if you don't cooperate I'll have to call security.
-
"You're a moron, Ma'am. Have a nice, safe flight. Next."
-
Time for a cavity search...
-
I would have to have her enter a private area for a body cavity search and check and see if the drapes matched the carpet. mr Bill
-
terrorists come in all flavors maam
-
water bottle to the face
-
But most blondes arent blonde, it may be a cunning disguise dear :)
-
Famous Chef Julia Child was a spy. You are not slipping under my radar.
-
What color was Timothy McVay's? What color were his eyes? What color were the kids who did the school shootings in Colorado? Thank you for your cooperation ma'am, have a nice flight.
-
I wouldn't take the time to argue with her. What's the point of that. There are a million people to get through each day and thousands with attitude.
-
YOU MA'AM....i mean bitch are a Racist! btw the german terror organization RAF (red army fraction) were all BLOND and BLUE EYED "and now bent over i have to search your anus for explosives...noh i have to use this bottle its to risky to use a finger..."
-
Is that your real hair color and are you wearing contacts?
-
Airport rules, ma'am, we treat everyone the same. Then I'd dump the water.
-
I'd say that if they wanted to get through a security system that was only looking for people who were not blond and blue-eyes, they'd find a way to either look the part or they'd find someone who did. Then, I'd invite ask them if they'd like to speak to my supervisor about any concerns they had because I did not wish to keep all the other nice people waiting. If I were in that job, I could not afford to take it personally or let myself get rattled or distracted. I would smile while saying all of this and move on.
-
terrorists don't have a 'set look' ma'am-i'm just helping to keep everyone safe-please don't take offense you should be thankful that people take extra precautions even if it is something as 'minor' to you as this. i'm sorry. have a safe trip. ... :o)
-
"I didn't think you were a real blonde."
-
Lady, I don't make the stupid rules, I just have to enforce the stupid rules. Now move along, please, or take the bus.
-
I would say ma'am it's airport regulation to not let an unsealed bottle through security, it doesn't matter if you are a terrorist or not. But since you are making a scene when you should have read the sign about opened beverages I am going to have to ask you to step over here and answer some questions.
-
I would respond by telling the lady, "they do now".
-
Hitler thought blue eyed blondes, the aryan race, was the only race fit to exist on earth. Such thoughts led to the holocaust, which makes you a terrorist! JEW HATER!
-
Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority Police beat up a girl at Reagan National Airport, throwing her across the room into a person and a metal chair. Then they picked her up and threw her against a table. After that, they bashed her head into that metal table, giving her a concussion. Then they twisted her arm so hard that it was about to break.
-
I used to work airport security and a similar thing happened...every day. I found that not saying a word was the best answer. They say "I'm not a terrorist" and I say nothing. They think I'm implying they are. They get frustrated and yell...I say nothing...they think I'm trying to get to them. I start helping other passengers. She gets FURIOUS and throws something at me...I take her down and she gets cuffed for assault. Only 3 got cuffed, the rest realized I didn't care about them enough to fight and they moved on angrily. But i didn't care that they were angry...I just cared that they moved on.
-
I would say that terrorists don't have a specific look. But the TSA has specific rules and you have just broken one of them. Everyone knows before they go through security it's posted all over and the TSA agents tell it to them before they get to the screeners. If someone does not cooperate then they have to be dealt with. The video shows how this woman was dealt with but I don't feel like it was nearly as violent as 'endpolicebrutality' makes it sound. The TSA protects the airplanes that I work on. I'm glad they are there.
-
Watch as they throw her across the room into the lady in yellow. It is quite brutal.
-
there is almost no reasoning with ppl that ignorant. I'd probably say nothing and just laugh.
-
Beating up women is not security; its the opposite.
-
Here is the camera angle where you see her thrown into the other lady.
-
My response would have been silence.
-
The next one might. (Terrorists also don't look like Mexican's with explosives in their shoes.)
-
Well i'd tell her that i dont stereotype people and that looks can be decieving.
-
I hope you're not voting.
-
I would have said something along the lines of, "How very Aryan of you." Either that or, "Do I look like I care?" Either one would work fine.
-
My response would be to grab her arm and face her toward the wall and say "Assume the position." My self concern or concern for my country has no racial boundaries, skin tones, eye color or limitations! "Shake um down" Tracy Morgan from SNL
-
Want a cavity search to go with that?
-
Well, you probably aren't a terrorist, since you are a complete idiot. I'm still taking the water though.
-
Stunned silence. Look down, deep breath, retain composure. Very quietly, very calmly. "Grow up." Open the water bottle. Dump it on her head. Go on my break.
-
I'll smile and say I hope you weren't tristy. And then I would toss the water in the trash. :) I guess if your a blond with blue eyes your incapable of doing harm....ok
-
id tell the aryan bitch that her shit stinks like everyone else's
-
i'd say you look suspicious lady..be glad it wasn't a bottle made of gold
-
who knowa..
-
You haven't met my husbands ex wife.
-
I would say -no wonder you don't understand the airport rules...NEXT!
-
I'm sorry madam but it's the rules. We can't make an exception for anybody. I'd also check that the sign was obvious just in case she had missed it.
-
Kind of makes you wonder what rocks people live under--every time the "list" of don't carry on items changes, it's all over the local news (at least in my area), but they always find someone who whines, "I just paid $45. for that lipstick". The rule seems to be: rules apply to everyone but me (as always)
-
I'd say, "you know, YOU'RE RIGHT! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I QUIT!"
-
I'd say, "Oh, don't they? But I can bet they're all small minded racists".
-
Ask, so what does a terrorist look like? Wait for the racist response. Logically, it is a pain going through security, but all of the actions asked by the TSA are a direct result of former attempts at terroristic acts. We learn by accident sometimes.
-
"Beat it, Ann Coulter! Take the frickin bus!"
-
I would say, "Well, Ted Bundy had blue eyes and brown hair and killed over 100 women. Eileen Wournos was FUGLY and killed 7 men.. Terrorism has NO color
-
i'm sorry to say that i may have taken this attitude once before someone put me in my place. i was flying to mexico and the lady took away my EXPENSIVE perfume and i was like "C'mon lady do i really look like a terrorist?" and she just looked at me and got kinda angry looking and said something like, "i wouldn't know ma'am because i was never trained to look at one kind of person and classify them as terrorist by what they look like. We do this to everyone and if you can't understand that then you don't really care about everyone's safety, do you?"
-
I would say.. 'Im sorry, but you do realise we are in the year 2008, we do have hair dye and contacts avaliable that do change these things. Besides, anyone can be a terrorist nowdays. Dont be so racist'... but then again, if i was airport security, that comment may get me fired. hehe :)
-
tell her its the rules and regulations and you wont discriminate over looks. and tell her ts your job, she will not be allowed on the plane with it
-
HOW DO YOU KNOW TERRISTS DONT HAVE BLOND HAIR OR BLUE EYES, DONT STERIO TYPE TO HER YOU MIGHT LOOK LIKE ONE TELL HER THATS HER PERSONAL OPINON BUT RULES ARE RULES
-
You can't judge a book by its cover. Just because you have blond hair and blue eyes that doesn't mean you AREN'T a terrorist, just like being Muslim doesn't mean you ARE a terrorist, geez what an egotistical society we live in.
-
Anyone can be a terrorist, the most successful are those that look innocent.
-
So did Timothy McVeigh. So did Theodore Kaczynski. There are also blonde haired, blue eyed muslims
-
i'd say look at this babyfaced boy... does he look like a terrorist to YOU?
