Ann Coulter causes a stink at the Harrisburg International Airport
Damnit, it was in Saturday's Harrisburg Patriot News about how Ann Coulter caused a stink at the Airport and then bitched about it in her column because she got frisked through security. Turns out Annthrax should up with 30 minutes to spare at HIA and proceeded to get snippy with everyone from the lady at the Northwest counter to the airport security who are just doing their jobs.

Does anyone have the article. I should have brought the paper with me to have it scanned!

1. So now all we need to do is hunt down
a Coulter quote wherein she states something like;

"You know, I can't imagine why this person would get so upset for having her bags searched, getting a full BC search, and just a couple of bruises before missing her flight... it's a world full of terrorist and liberals - that was a small price to pay for our security. She must hate America!"

2. I can't find the article, but my mother is sending me the paper
which I want to get sent in to Conservative Idiots. Seems Miss Annthrax bitched out HIA because well, Annthrax is a bitch.

3. I think Ann Coulter is a liberal performance artist.
I think 20 years from now we might find out that she's investigating something under 'deep cover'. The shit she says and does is too much like a caricature.

45. I think they were probably profiling
people who have expressed the desire to see terrorist bombings of major corporate locations, like the New York Times. I'll bet none of the Arabs on that flight had ever expressed anything even remotely similar to what Annie did. They should full-body cavity search her any time she takes public transportation, even a cab.

MAYBE WOMEN WHO LIKE TOUCHING WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE WORKING AIRPORT SECURITY April 17, 2005, 12:35 PM
KRISTA SNOOK, who looks exactly like that, seems to enjoy her job doing airport security at the Harrisburg, PA Airport a little too much. When my rubber-soled Keds failed to set off the magnatometer and give her an excuse to feel me up, she still insisted on a full-body search on the grounds that I had not taken off my rubber-soled Keds the first time through (on what I thought were the sensible grounds that rubber-soled Keds could not possibly set off the magnatometer or conceal a pea). So I went through the magnatometer in barefeet, risking athletes foot and gangrene, which also failed to set off the magnatometer. But I got a full-body search anyway. It was like a date with Ted Turner: whether you liked it or not, your clothes were coming off at some point. Ms. Snook took special care in waving the wand over my barefeet — barefeet! — but then quickly turned to the main issue at hand: the risk of an exploding bra. The last time I was mauled like that, I at least got a couple of cosmopolitans and a steak first. If I were a Muslim extremist at Guantanamo, Amnesty International would be issuing alarmist press releases, HBO would be casting their made-for-TV movie, "A Bra For Islam," and George Soros would be reaching for his checkbook.

6. silly wabbit
muslim extremists don't wear bra's.

Anyway, if I were to dress in drag and try to go through security I would expect to get frisked, so I sure don't know why he/she didn't expect to get frisked.

Not 100% sure, but I believe if Krista Snook is TSA security then Ann Coulter just broke the law twelve different ways by publishing her name in a public forum . . .

11. I'm getting the article sent to me and then I'm forwarding it to earl
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 08:38 PM by LynneSin
Basically the just of the article was this:

Annthrax arrived at the airport cutting it real close to take-off and she was bitching to the lady at the NW counter

Annthrax went through security where she was frisked because something showed up on the security monitor. The management of airport security read what Annthrax wrote and they viewed the tape taken of the whole incident and claimed that nothing, other than Annthrax bitching, was done out of procedure. If you trip security you will be patted by someone of the same sex. Oh, and the woman running security is a top employee at the airport who had won some "Top Employee at the Airport" award.

Hell I've been frisked at the airport - Annthrax needs to get over herself and this needs to be exposed. Obviously only the local Harrisburg newspaper followed up on this and they limit some of the stuff they post on their website. (the Saturday paper is pretty lightweight). So the best I can do is get the article (my mother remember which paper - she was like "Oh, is Ann that woman with the picture of the really funny looking legs. They had put the Time Picture in the article). I pmed Earlg and asked how I could forward the article to him.

Edit Note: When I flew to Austin Texas I too wore rubber-soled Keds. Guess what, I had to take them off too. You can ask GOPisEvil, I showed up with Blue Keds on my feet!

22. Yes, but they didn't publish the article
http://www.pennlive.com

It was in the Saturday edition of the Harrisburg Patriot News. I spent 30 minutes searching everywhere. The Saturday paper is kinda a joke since they try to combine everything into 2 small sections. Maybe the staff doesn't work on Saturday :shrug:

But we have the stuff from Annthrax's website and I'll forward the article to the DU admin. This just riles my butt because security is there to do what they're suppose to do. You know, I was at the boy idiot's inauguration and I got frisked there. Hell, some woman with a special wheel that she would bend her leg and put in this contraption was standing there on one foot while security took 15 minutes to determine wether this was a WMD or something. And the woman had Pro-Chimp stuff all over her.

23. Yes, keep us posted
This woman is so horrible. I think she's one of the most hateful public figures ever. She was here in KS a month ago. When some kids in the audience started heckling her, she asked for the biggest toughest college Republicans in the audience to escort the hecklers out. How lame.

She is truly the wicked witch of the right.

17. Jesus, Krista Snook should sue Coulter
What a snot. Now,I'm a gay woman, so I'm certainly not anti-lesbian, but Coulter was not accusing poor Krista of being gay, she was accusing her of sexually molesting her for a thrill. Seriously, I'd sue that %#@*&'s ass...

Personally, I don't think she's doing it for a thrill, if anything I think she's probably doing it for a job so she can take care of her family.

32. HA! She did not get a "full body search."
She makes it sound as if they took her to another room for a clothes off, cavity search.

What she had done to her, I've had done. It sucks, doesn't it Annie-poo? But you don't see me bitching all over the internet and saying I shoulda been bought a couple of drinks first, do ya?

Geez, they made her take off her SHOES, ran the thing over her feet and then over her chest area.

Big whoop.

51. Yep. This is routine
can't believe the aging Princess didn't know this. She sounds like such a diva. And you're right. The airport searches are hardly "full cavity searches." The screeners are doing their job...not being vulgar. If Ann had a little more worldly experience, she'd understand the difference.

35. Welcome to the world of the unwashed, Annie....
That's exactly how the rest of us have to deal with security at airports, what makes you so special, dearie?

People like this make me sick. They act like we should bow and scrape to them as they rudely lord over us, just because they know we have jobs (wait staff, clerk, attendant, floormanager, etc.) knowing we can't afford to tell them off for fear of losing our jobs and not making next months rent.

I've met a slew of famous people over my career in broadcasting, and most of them are very to fairly gracious. This woman (?) seems ugly, ugly, ugly.

complains that she shouldn't be screened, and then hints that the screener was attracted to her and might have been a lesbian?

47. Please...
Quit bitching Ann... you know that's the MOST action that you've seen in a while (cream pies being tossed at you not withstanding). We should be praising Krista Snook for doing her job... not bitching about her (in a media publication no less). I had to listen to the same diatribe from Joe Scarborough on "Real Time with Bill Maher" this week. He bitched about his family having to go through Airport security, then after the "Humiliating Ordeal" was over the security guard had the nerve to compliment him on his show - I guess Joe was just pissed because the guard should have just let him stroll through cause the guard obviously knew who he was!!

Note to Bloviating Right Wing Pundits: No matter how Big or important you think you are, we're here to tell you this... the sun does neither rise or sit in your ass. If we wanted to listen to this "poor me having to put up with these conditions"/"don't you know who I am" bitching, we would actually tune in to the "Surreal Life". Airport Security is not taking unfair liberties when they scan your clown feet with a wand, or frisk you and your children - they are doing their job!! So if you think it is unfair, or unnecessary, tough! Either charter your own plane or sit down, shut up, and take off your Keds just like the rest of us. You are not exempt just because you blow roses up the President's Ass... in fact, if it were up to me, I'd have my biggest, meanest guard give you a full cavity search for the hate and toxins you spew. Get over yourself and embrace the everyday traveling trivialities of the people you claim to be "the man of".

Annthrax, on the other hand could avoid a stink but choose to make an ass of herself anyways.

She was running late to the airport and in a pissy mood. I know I can be edgy when I'm running late, that doesn't mean I have to take it out on the people working at the Airport

25. Found this little bit of Ann's Racist plan for Airport Security
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 09:09 PM by walldude
-snip-
"Like many of you, I carefully reviewed the lawsuits against the airlines in order to determine which airlines had engaged in the most egregious discrimination, so I could fly only that airline. But oddly, rather than bragging about the charges, the airlines heatedly denied discriminating against Middle Eastern passengers. What a wasted marketing opportunity! Imagine the great slogans the airlines could use:
"Now Frisking All Arabs--Twice!"

"More Civil Rights Lawsuits Brought by Arabs Than Any Other Airline!"

"The Friendly Skies--Unless You're an Arab"

"You Are Now Free to Move About the Cabin--Not So Fast, Mohammed!"
-snip-

http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=3748

So I guess a good thorough strip search is only good for brown people. God knows Ann has never done anything to threaten anyone. My favorite part of her response to the Harrisberg incident was "if they had done this in Guantanamo, HBO would be casting the movie of the week and George Soros would be writing a check.
So let me get this straight, getting wanded down (please, if you believe she got stripped searched I have a bridge to sell you) at the airport is the same as being detained and tortured at Guantanamo Bay. Ok Ann, step away from the pharmies... slowly

36. RE: Ann Coulter causes a stink at the Harrisburg International Airport
Ann Coulter probably thinks that racial profiling was rampant at that particular security point.

Rampant, in that the racial profiles were not properly narrowed to only swarthy, hook-nosed people with Arabic family names.

It's an outrage that someone as superbly Aryan as Coulter should be treated like some Middle Eastern ubermensch. Jawohl!

to Molly Ivins or Arianna Huffington, she would have thought it was a great thing, and laughed forever about it. I'm sure she's totally in favor of all sorts of degrading things - until they happen to her.
Of course, she will learn absolutely nothing from this. She's too much of a wack job.

41. What makes her so damn special?
I seem to remember not that long ago Al Gore was frisked! Al Gore! The former Vice President of the United States! Yet, some caricature of person thinks SHE should be EXEMPT?! What a twit! I also seem to remember that the shoe-bomber wannabe was not Arab looking, which is maybe why he didn't get noticed. I guess her idea of rounding up Arabs only will be useful in preventing a HANDFUL of religious Arab-looking zealots, but it sure won't protect us from the "blond haired, blue-eyed devils" like McVeigh! Again, what a twit!

43. I think I figured out what she's really up to
It's really all about the Time magazine cover which went oh-so-horribly wrong, in that the photographer (as part of a liberal plot) failed to capture Ann Coulter's sexpot, Pam-Anderson-essence. So once Ann's intial rage simmered down she spent the last week trying to come up with a strategy for rehabilitating her lost "hotness" -- and how better to do that than to depict herself as the (of course, unwilling) object of some female-on-female action.

And also, there's the usual Coulter self-flattery -- she's so irresistible that the female security guard just couldn't resist feeling her up -- ugh -- which is probably calculated to be erotic fodder in the minds of her freeperish fans.

Is this what you are seeking? or is this from the coultergeist's website? No credit is given at http://grassrootspa.com/ You can add your comments at http://www.haloscan.com/comments/grassrootspa/111418951972766407/

Ann Couler Sounds Off On Harrisburg International Airport!

KRISTA SNOOK, who looks exactly like that, seems to enjoy her job doing airport security at the Harrisburg, PA Airport a little too much. When my rubber-soled Keds failed to set off the magnatometer and give her an excuse to feel me up, she still insisted on a full-body search on the grounds that I had not taken off my rubber-soled Keds the first time through (on what I thought were the sensible grounds that rubber-soled Keds could not possibly set off the magnatometer or conceal a pea).

Ms. Snook took special care in waving the wand over my barefeet - barefeet! - but then quickly turned to the main issue at hand: the risk of an exploding bra. The last time I was mauled like that, I at least got a couple of cosmopolitans and a steak first. If I were a Muslim extremist at Guantanamo, Amnesty International would be issuing alarmist press releases, HBO would be casting their made-for-TV movie, "A Bra For Islam," and George Soros would be reaching for his checkbook.

48. No this was actually from the Harrisburg Patriot News
They wrote a counter article that basically said Ann Coulter acted like an ass at the airport.

But for some reason it never made it to their website, but then again Saturday is a limited paper for the Patriot News.

49. Oh, shut up, Ann, this is routine
I've had the up close and personal treatment several times. Welcome to the post 9-11 world, Miss Coulter. There are a few airline security personnel who know as much about my anatomy as my husband and gynocologist. Big deal.

53. Good grief
What a bitch. If everybody gets searched so does she. Who does she think she is? Queen of our country? Yeah, right. On Bill Maher last week Scarborough said he was searched every time he was in an airport and they take about fifteen minute's to do that and even searched his baby. Coulter needs to get over herself.

54. Shes a closet Democrat
She must be showing her Ass in public like that and all. :kick:

Why would she expect to be able to board a plane without any problems when SENATOR Kennedy can not do that? I Guess TSA screwed up and put her on the bad liberal democrat list instead of the good conservative republican list. Maybe a good liberal wanted to make sure she didn't take that Baseball Bat she talks to liberals with on the plane? Actually they should have a full cavity search to make sure another liberal didn't get to her first and shove that baseball bat up her ass side ways. With all the threats she's been making to Americans she should be on the No Fly List.
