When asked today if she will insist that Muslim women wearing hijabs must go through full body pat downs before boarding planes, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano did not say yes or no, but told CNSNews.com there will be "adjustments" and "more to come" on the issue.
"On the pat downs, CAIR [the Council on American-Islamic Relations] has recommended that Muslim women wearing hijabs refuse to go through the full body pat downs before boarding planes," CNSNews.com asked Napolitano at a Monday press conference. "Will you insist that they do go through full body pat downs before boarding planes?"
"Look, we have, like I said before, we are doing what we need to do to protect the traveling public and adjustments will be made where they need to be made," Napolitano responded. "With respect to that particular issue, I think there will be more to come. But, again, the goal here, you know, we're not doing this just to do it. We're doing it because we need to keep powders and gels and liquids off of planes that are unauthorized just as we need to keep metals off of planes.
