African American Woman Is Humiliated By TSA Hair Search
Posted by Michelle Moquin on October 1st, 2011
Good morning!
Isis Brantley, Dallas Woman, Mad At TSA For Checking Her Hair For Weapons
A Dallas-bound woman is angry at the TSA after agents stopped and searched her afro while she went through security at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport.
Isis Brantley, a hairstylist, was rocking her signature haircut while going through security to make her American Airlines flight, Dallas’ KXAS reports. Brantley, it should be noted, has not cut her hair since she was 12 (she is now 53).
“I just heard these voices saying, ‘Hey you, hey you, ma’am, stop. Stop — the lady with the hair, you,” Brantley told the station. She then claims that TSA agents stopped her so they could “check for weapons.” A female agent started “digging in her scalp.”
The TSA released a statement to the news station saying, “Additional screening may be required for clothing, headwear or hair where prohibited items could be hidden. This passenger left the checkpoint prior to the completion of the screening process. She was offered but refused private screening.”
But Brantley says that “they have never done that to me before”. A TSA agent apologized to her regardless.
Back in July, Laura Adiele accused the TSA of racism after agents inspected her curly hair at Seattle’s Sea-Tac airport.
Check out Brantley’s interview below:
Readers: “Hey you, hey you, ma’am, stop. Stop — the lady with the hair, you” – How ill-mannered can you be? I read this in another article:
Brantley has made the national news rounds, telling MSNBC today that after going through security once, “15 minutes later someone was running after me…. two people down the escalator talking about, ‘hey, hey, hey, we have to check your hair for bombs.’”
How embarrassing. Can you imagine someone running after you and saying out loud in front of everyone, “We have to check your hair for bombs”? That’s bad enough, but to run after her, shouting to her, in such a disrespectful way, is just plain rude. The entire event is just wrong and humiliating.
Thoughts? Blog me.

To protect teeth from cavities, don’t eat one piece of candy or sweets now, then another piece an hour later and so on.
Reason: After eating just one piece of candy, your mouth becomes acidic and it can take up to an hour for the mouth’s pH balance to return to normal. The longer the teeth are exposed to acid, the greater the chance of cavities.
If you choose to eat sweets: Limit treats to one after-meal serving—the increased production of saliva during and after a meal helps to wash away acidity. Also, try to brush your teeth or at least rinse your mouth with water after eating sweets.

Michelle,
We OTWs are singled out on a daily basis to be humiliated. It’s because of that “Just-Us” justice system you and your blog write here about every day. Give a person a uniform and the right to abuse people and they will single out the OTW every time.
Yet, the occasional abuse suffered by a white victim gets the 24/7 treatment by the news outlets.

On July 13, 2011, Scott Conroy noted in Real Clear Politics an interview Sarah Palin had just given to Sean Hannity that week. In the interview, when asked about her timeline to run for the Presidency, Palin told Hannity, “You know, August and September, you do have to start laying out a plan if you are to be one to throw your hat in the ring, so that’s basically the time frame.”
Fast-forward a month to August 12, 2011, at the Iowa State Fair in Ames. Sarah Palin chatted casually with a gaggle of reporters. The topic of an announcement date came up. Again, Palin said, “I have said that that August to September time line is important for a number of reasons.” Jake Tapper of ABC News then asked, “So by next month?” Next month, at that time, was September.
Palin, on video, said, “I think that practically speaking that would have to be it, that drop dead-date. Also, in fairness to supporters who are standing on the sidelines, this is what I’ve told Todd over and over again, I don’t want to be perceived as stringing people along.”
Palin supporters have, for a month, been tweeting and blogging that this month would be the month Palin announced. U.S. for Palin, a pro-Palin website, took the time to knock both Ann Coulter and me, noting how Palin would announce on her own time table and if Ann and I and the rest of the media had paid attention, we’d know that “all the media and her supporters have to do is wait till September 30th, 2011.”
Palin has, for months, listed September as her drop-dead date. Those are her words. They are not words calculated by the media to box her in. Since then, Palin has moved the date around, said she may announce later, moved it into October, and all sorts of things. But she left a strong impression with many of her closest supporters that September 30th would be the drop-dead date. Again, her words and no one else’s.
Whether Sarah Palin announces today or at some other time, it is stunning that a potential candidate who has had no real job for two years could drag her feet this long on such an important decision holding up supporters on the sidelines who at some point might just need to move on. After today I think she does, in her own words, get “perceived as stringing people along.”

Guam News – Guam News
Guam – The Guam EPA’s Weekly Beach report lists advisories on 26 beaches. West Hagatna Bay Beach remains closed.
The Recreational Waters Pollution Report is compiled by Guam EPA’s Environmental Monitoring and Analytical Services Division.
The Environmental Monitoring and Analytical Services Division takes water samples of 42 recreational beaches every Thursday [ adjustments are made during official holidays] and analyzes the samples for concentrations of the enterococcus bacteria indicator. Advisories are based on an instantaneous standard of not greater than 104 enterococci/100 ml and a geometric mean standard of not greater than 35 enterococci/100 ml.
Guam EPA has performed this community service weekly since 1974.
BEACH ADVISORIES: 26
The results of samples taken by the Guam Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday, September 29, 2011, identified that the following recreational waters were polluted above the accepted bacteriological standards:
TAMUNING
Gognga Beach, Naton Beach – San Vitores, Dungca’s Beach, East Hagåtña Bay – Alupang Towers Beach, East Hagåtña Bay – Trinchera Beach
HAGATNA
Padre Palomo Park Beach
ASAN
Adelup Beach Park, Adelup Point Beach (West), Asan Bay Beach
PITI
Piti Bay, Santos Memorial Park, Port Authority Beach
AGAT
Togcha Beach – near Namo River, Togcha Beach – Agat Park Beach, Togcha Beach – near Southern Christian Academy, Bangi Beach, Nimitz Beach
UMATAC
Umatac Bay, Toguan Bay
MERIZO
Merizo Pier at Mamaon Channel
INARAJAN
Inarajan Pool, Inarajan Bay
TALOFOFO
Talofofo Bay, First Beach, Togcha Bay
CHALAN PAGO-ORDOT
Pago Bay
(Place names as spelled in United States Geological Survey [USGS] maps.)
No harvesting or consumption of seaweed, fish or marine organisms is allowed at Tanguisson Beach.
Swimming, fishing or playing in unsafe waters may result in minor illnesses such as sore throats or diarrhea. It might also result in more serious illnesses such as meningitis, encephalitis, or severe gastroenteritis.
Children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems have a greater chance of getting sick when they come in contact with contaminated water.
BEACHES CLOSED: 1
West Hagåtña Bay remains closed as it has been for years, due to the intended or continued use of the old fractured outfall at the Hagåtña Sewage Treatment Plant as emergency and/or bypass overflow. The area closed includes Hagåtña Boat Basin & Channel and the West Hagåtña Beach Park.
Questions about the Recreational Waters Pollution Report should be directed to the Guam EPA Monitoring Section at 475-1656/8.
For more information, please also visit http://www.guamepa.net, http://www.epa.gov/ostwater/beaches/local/sum2.html
============================
Sunday at the beach will have to be chosen carefully.

Aaron:
Your “no common sense” comment yesterday most definitely applies to the idiots in the Republican Party waiting to give their support to Palin for a presidential run.
I think Palin knows how ridiculous the idea is. She knew and probably voted for Obama when that thief and moron McCain picked her for the VP spot.
It will be the worst day for America if these people win the day after the elections of 2012. Whatever you can do Michelle, you have my support.

On Wednesday, the National Federation of Independent Business petitioned the Supreme Court to review a decision from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding ObamaCare. The Obama Justice Department feels good about its general track record defending the law in appeals courts, and has also filed a petition with the Supremes.
The Administration could have kept things bottled up in the 11th Circuit for a while, but most observers agree it would go all the way to the highest court sooner or later… and if “later” meant after the 2012 elections, there might have been a very different Justice Department arguing the government’s case, with decidedly less enthusiasm.
From a legal standpoint, this is the main event: The heavyweight title fight between Obama’s health care scheme and the nation that never wanted it. If the Supreme Court upholds the 11th Circuit’s decision on the unconstitutionality of the individual mandate, but rejects the notion of “severing” it from the rest of the bill, ObamaCare is dead at last. If the mandate remains “severed,” ObamaCare lurches forward without its heart, with the remains of its basic logic and funding mechanism surgically removed… while our national debt blasts into orbit.
And if the individual mandate is held to be constitutional, the relationship between American citizens and their government changes forever. It won’t take long for the all-powerful State to think of other formerly voluntary transactions it can make compulsory, for our own good. — John Hayward
============REBUTTAL=======================
First, this is just another attempt to keep all the people from having access to affordable health care. The real aim of those running the republican party is to keep the power of the insurances companies to rip off the American people for unconscionable money intact.
Greed trumps everything for the leaders of the republican party as racism does for the rank and file of that party followed closely by their greed too. So the ones that can afford health care support the idea that those who can not should not have it.
However if they lose their jobs and subsequently lose their health care coverage, they are the first to cry for government help. But as as long as it is not their need, they don’t want government to help others.
But my chief beef here is the statement ” the relationship between American citizens and their government changes forever.”
Notice how the Right always complains about government making laws to force the people to do its bidding, – UNLESS- it is something the Right wants the government to force you to do. Like:
No access to abortion; Don’t ask don’t tell; The bought and paid for five STARK on the supreme court who wrote new law for all 350 million americans when they declared from the bench new law that if a corporation steals $30 or less from you, you have no recourse but to take them to court on your own or eat it.
The Right attempts to get the court to do what they can’t get done legislatively, but if it happens for the Left, then it is a tragedy of enormous proportions.

Robert, you are so knowledgable it is scary. The republicans never saw a millionaire they didn’t want to protect but they are so quick to take money from organizations that help everyone.
This article in Huff post “House GOP Unveils Plan To Cut NPR, Job Training And Education Programs” link – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/29/house-gop-budget-cuts_n_987445.html?utm_source=DailyBrief&utm_campaign=093011&utm_medium=email&utm_content=NewsEntry&utm_term=Daily%20Brief
discusses the GOP plan to cut NPR not to mention federal money for job training, heating subsidies and grants to better-performing schools.
Is greed so strong that it trumps the ability of these people to see that by destroying the educational system of this country they will make our children unable to compete with the technologies of the rest of the world?

Thanks Robert for that on point Rebuttal. I would like to continue along those lines with a discussion concerning Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s nondisclosure about his wife $700,000 income.
Huff Post’s article on the subject can be found on this link – .huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/29/democratic-lawmakers-call-for-investiation-into-clarence-thomas-finances_n_987934.html?utm_source=DailyBrief&utm_campaign=093011&utm_medium=email&utm_content=NewsEntry&utm_term=Daily%20Brief
My complaint is that the nondisclosure allows Thomas to sit on the bench and vote on issues that could pose a conflict of interest as his wife is receiving money from corporations that have interests before the Supreme Court.
If Thomas was not on the Supreme Court, his wife would not be receiving all that money. It is plain and simple a bribe.
Mike
October 1st, 2011 at 9:33 am
The real questions here should be:
SHOULD he be voting on it, when the person he sleeps next to makes a living lobbying against it?
SHOULD he be voting on it, when part of his income depends on people who are lobbying against it?
Does that seem fair?”
October 1st, 2011 at 9:41 am
Now you know why the republicans were so anxious to smear Anthony Weiner and force him out. If the dems had had any balls they would have supported him.
Weiner had compiled an extensive file of alleged violations concerning Thomas’s nondisclosure and the lobbying his wife was doing on behalf of companies whose issues were before he Supreme Court.
They were paying her much more than others to be a lobbyist for them. Why one might ask? She certainly was not more qualified that the other professional lobbyists. Could it be because she is f**king the man who has one of the nine votes that will decide the issue for all of America?
He should be investigated and impeached if found guilty.
Edward
October 1st, 2011 at 9:44 am
I hope the usually gutless Democrats go after Thomas. If the situation was reversed, the Republicans would have him long gone.
October 1st, 2011 at 12:32 pm
Clarence Thomas isn’t a legislator or executive officer. He’s a Supreme Court Justice and there’s a different, higher standard set by the judicial code of conduct than for legislators and executive officers.
In this case the problem is not the existence of outside income or even a potential conflict of interest, but rather that Clarence Thomas affirmatively denied outside household income on his financial disclosure forms. The existence of that money or his wife’s job does not demonstrate an inherent conflict, however. But, non-disclosure is very problematic on its own. In the context of attorneys and judges, it may demonstrate an intent to conceal.
If Thomas can’t conform to the code of conduct for his profession, then he too should be censured or even removed by impeachment.
In 1970, Abe Fortas resigned from the Supreme Court based on appearances of conflict of interest.

“Friendship of Justice and Magnate Puts Focus on Ethics”
Mr. Crow met Thomas a few years after he became a Supreme Court Justice. Since then, Mr. Crow has done many favors for the justice and his wife, Virginia, helping finance a Savannah library project dedicated to Justice Thomas, presenting him with a Bible that belonged to Frederick Douglass and reportedly providing $500,000 for Ms. Thomas to start a Tea Party-related group. They have also spent time together at gatherings of prominent Republicans and businesspeople at Mr. Crow’s Adirondacks estate and his camp in East Texas.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/19/us/politics/19thomas.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&hp
…and his relationship with Citizens United, which ran ads attacking Senators who opposed Thomas’ nomination to the court, decades before Thomas ruled with the majority in favor of Citizens United in a now-infamous campaign finance ruling. Now there’s new information that calls Thomas’ ethics into question.
http://blog.reidreport.com/2011/06/the-growing-clarence-thomas-problem/
Not a single Republicon or teabagger has a problem with this…this man should be removed from the bench.
October 1st, 2011 at 12:44 pm
The forms that Justice Thomas signed warned him that a false statement could subject him to civil and criminal sanctions.
“NOTE: ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO KNOWINGLY AND WILLFULLY FALSIFIES OR FAILS TO FILE THIS REPORT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL SANCTIONS (5 U.S.C. app. section 104)”
The statute referenced there, 5 U.S.C. app. Section 104, defines the “civil and criminal sanctions” for “knowingly and willfully falsif[ying]” the report, as a fine “not to exceed $50,000″ and “imprison[ment] for not more than 1 year, or both” for each violation.
Under Title 18, United States Code, section 1001, it is a crime to knowingly and willfully make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States.

Excellent opinion piece. I wanted to share it:
The Best Among Us, by Chris Hedges
There are no excuses left. Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history. Either you obstruct, in the only form left to us, which is civil disobedience, the plundering by the criminal class on Wall Street and accelerated destruction of the ecosystem that sustains the human species, or become the passive enabler of a monstrous evil. Either you taste, feel and smell the intoxication of freedom and revolt or sink into the miasma of despair and apathy. Either you are a rebel or a slave.
To be declared innocent in a country where the rule of law means nothing, where we have undergone a corporate coup, where the poor and working men and women are reduced to joblessness and hunger, where war, financial speculation and internal surveillance are the only real business of the state, where even habeas corpus no longer exists, where you, as a citizen, are nothing more than a commodity to corporate systems of power, one to be used and discarded, is to be complicit in this radical evil. To stand on the sidelines and say “I am innocent” is to bear the mark of Cain; it is to do nothing to reach out and help the weak, the oppressed and the suffering, to save the planet. To be innocent in times like these is to be a criminal. Ask Tim DeChristopher.
Choose. But choose fast. The state and corporate forces are determined to crush this. They are not going to wait for you. They are terrified this will spread. They have their long phalanxes of police on motorcycles, their rows of white paddy wagons, their foot soldiers hunting for you on the streets with pepper spray and orange plastic nets. They have their metal barricades set up on every single street leading into the New York financial district, where the mandarins in Brooks Brothers suits use your money, money they stole from you, to gamble and speculate and gorge themselves while one in four children outside those barricades depend on food stamps to eat. Speculation in the 17th century was a crime. Speculators were hanged. Today they run the state and the financial markets. They disseminate the lies that pollute our airwaves. They know, even better than you, how pervasive the corruption and theft have become, how gamed the system is against you, how corporations have cemented into place a thin oligarchic class and an obsequious cadre of politicians, judges and journalists who live in their little gated Versailles while 6 million Americans are thrown out of their homes, a number soon to rise to 10 million, where a million people a year go bankrupt because they cannot pay their medical bills and 45,000 die from lack of proper care, where real joblessness is spiraling to over 20 percent, where the citizens, including students, spend lives toiling in debt peonage, working dead-end jobs, when they have jobs, a world devoid of hope, a world of masters and serfs.
The only word these corporations know is more. They are disemboweling every last social service program funded by the taxpayers, from education to Social Security, because they want that money themselves. Let the sick die. Let the poor go hungry. Let families be tossed in the street. Let the unemployed rot. Let children in the inner city or rural wastelands learn nothing and live in misery and fear. Let the students finish school with no jobs and no prospects of jobs. Let the prison system, the largest in the industrial world, expand to swallow up all potential dissenters. Let torture continue. Let teachers, police, firefighters, postal employees and social workers join the ranks of the unemployed. Let the roads, bridges, dams, levees, power grids, rail lines, subways, bus services, schools and libraries crumble or close. Let the rising temperatures of the planet, the freak weather patterns, the hurricanes, the droughts, the flooding, the tornadoes, the melting polar ice caps, the poisoned water systems, the polluted air increase until the species dies.
Who the hell cares? If the stocks of ExxonMobil or the coal industry or Goldman Sachs are high, life is good. Profit. Profit. Profit. That is what they chant behind those metal barricades. They have their fangs deep into your necks. If you do not shake them off very, very soon they will kill you. And they will kill the ecosystem, dooming your children and your children’s children. They are too stupid and too blind to see that they will perish with the rest of us. So either you rise up and supplant them, either you dismantle the corporate state, for a world of sanity, a world where we no longer kneel before the absurd idea that the demands of financial markets should govern human behavior, or we are frog-marched toward self-annihilation.
Those on the streets around Wall Street are the physical embodiment of hope. They know that hope has a cost, that it is not easy or comfortable, that it requires self-sacrifice and discomfort and finally faith. They sleep on concrete every night. Their clothes are soiled. They have eaten more bagels and peanut butter than they ever thought possible. They have tasted fear, been beaten, gone to jail, been blinded by pepper spray, cried, hugged each other, laughed, sung, talked too long in general assemblies, seen their chants drift upward to the office towers above them, wondered if it is worth it, if anyone cares, if they will win. But as long as they remain steadfast they point the way out of the corporate labyrinth. This is what it means to be alive. They are the best among us.

Healthful Cheese
Lisa R. Young, PhD, RD
We all love cheese, but there are lots of cheese products that have too much fat, sodium or other unhealthy ingredients. Plenty of reduced-fat cheeses are available, but many of them contain chemical additives that make them taste artificial—kind of like plastic. Fortunately, you can find delicious options made with low-fat milk—if you know what to look for.
My advice (recommendations are based on a one-ounce serving)…
Limit the fat content. Don’t exceed 5 g of total fat.
Get enough calcium. Aim for at least 20% of the daily value (DV)—the percentage of a nutrient that you need to consume each day (based on a 2,000-calorie diet).
Watch out for sodium. Stick to 250 mg or less per serving.
Keep an eye on calories. Look for no more than 80 calories per serving.
My top picks…
CABOT
50% Reduced Fat Cheddar
One ounce (one-inch cube*): 4.5 g total fat… 3 g saturated fat… 0 g trans fat… 8 g protein… 170 mg sodium… 20% DV calcium… 70 calories.
FINLANDIA
Imported Light Swiss Deli Slices
One slice (about ¾ ounce): 3 g total fat… 2 g saturated fat… 0 g trans fat… 7 g protein… 110 mg sodium… 22% DV calcium… 57 calories.
THE LAUGHING COW
Mini Babybel Light
One round piece (about ¾ ounce): 3 g total fat… 1.5 g saturated fat… 0 g trans fat… 6 g protein… 160 mg sodium… 20% DV calcium… 50 calories.
*Nutritional breakdowns are based on serving sizes that vary slightly, depending on the form of the cheese—sliced, cubed or individually wrapped.
Personal interviewed Lisa R. Young, PhD, RD, is a nutritionist in private practice and an adjunct professor of nutrition at New York University, both in New York City. She is the author of The Portion Teller Plan (Broadway).
