those. it s not just passengers. laura: my question to you is, isn t this kind of what cair wanted? i mean, you wanted to one to be profiled, right? nobody can be profiled country of origin, background. i have had a lot of cair folks on my show. no, absolutely. laura: so now everyone is basically profiled. everyone is subjected to these screenings techniques. that was never our response. our response was never let s bring a security state into the airports like let s make it a police stake. behavioral profiling works. these scanners don t do that cair isn t the only one objecting to it you have pilot unions objecting and flight attendants doctors, nurses, people are objecting in large scale. they are dangerous. they don t make us any safer and not a laura: i m not a fan. i m not going through the scanner machines. i don t trust the radiation level thing. i don t think we should add more radiation we don t have to add. the idea though that members of the muslim community sho
community. the council on american islamic relations are basically telling followers how to opt out of some of the screening and they also want the t.s.a. to give special treatment to some muslims. here to define that special treatment is zarha billou who is a spokeswoman for cair and she joins us from san francisco. it s good to have you on. i was looking at some of the cair recommendations to travelers across the united states. and here is one of the things they say to the women there. they say well, before you re patted down, if you are a muslim woman and you are flying, you should remind t.s.a. officers that they are only supposed to pat down the area in question, that means your head and neck. they should not subject you to full body or partial body patdown and you can request to pat down your own scarf and your own head and neck area. that s kind of like a self-exam, right? how does that work? i m going to feel myself on my groin.

not react to it? i would like you to answer the question whether you are nervous when a muslim gets on a plane with you. megyn: you don t want dialogue. you called for punitive action. your memo make that perfectly clear. this should not pass without asking. you could have made any sort of statement con depg the remarks, offering a different point. view, asking juan williams to come and discuss it, host a form, how can we get past this. instead you wanted him gone, sir, and he is. well, you are making that up. but other than that, we never said that. megyn: do you think that this helps you? does this help cair? do you think the american people are going to think better of cair? i have gotten a lot of hate calls this morning asking that specific question. cair is a muslim civil rights and advocacy group.
