Perhaps they could borrow some body scanners from TSA and pat people down to see whether it is a weapon or a pocket comb they are concealing. "domestic rightwing terrorism" is used thoughout this report.

Maybe Napolitano was really referring to "Muslim Extremists" but had to be PC, so said "rightwing extremism" instead. Ditto on the term "white supremacists"....she could just easily have left the "white" off... or she could have said "black and white supremacists"....but that wouldn't have been PC either. Of course, people with any brains would immediately think of the New Black Panthers, or the Congressional Black Caucus, etc....She could also have said "left wing extremists" too, so why didn't she? A Department of Homeland Security report warns that rightwing extremism is expected to escalate. Domestic terrorism is cited, at the hands of white supremacists, and returning military veterans. The nine page report has been distributed to law enforcement agencies. While Homeland Security Janet Napolitano refuses to use the term “terrorism,” or “terrorist,” to label those who attacked America and continue to plan to attack America, “domestic rightwing terrorism” is used thoughout this report.
