Terr, you’ve insisted that I should be subjected to greater scrutiny when boarding an airliner simply based on my nationality/race/ethnicity? I’m not sure why you’re upset by this since you by your own admission think that the government and authorities should practice racism. Just say, “I’m a racist and you should be too” and be done with it. ---

So to sum up _again_: **Terr** starts a thread based on an incorrect premise, bases his conclusions on assertions he made but is unwilling to admit to, claims that this somehow demonstrates dishonesty on the part of everyone he disagrees with and then stomps off calling everyone else “idiots” after the whole ridiculous farce is pointed out. And this is what is meant by “integrity”. ---

> [@Terr](#): > > Did I say “infiltrate”? I said smear. That was her goal and that was what she did. Okay, I’m game. How could she smear them without infiltrating them? Perhaps the words are getting in the way: how could she smear them without pretending to be on their side? If she’s on the other side, how can it be her fault that the media reported it inaccurately? Oh, and “on their side” means standing with their group, which implies you agree with them. ---
