O'Hare Airport Security Breach - Over 100 Fake Security Badges, 23 Arrested November 8, 2007 Federal and local law enforcement agents raided several warehouses Wednesday at O'Hare International Airport and arrested 24 workers who were allegedly in the country illegally and using phony security badges for jobs on the tarmac, cargo areas and other restricted zones.

Also arrested Wednesday in a probe federal authorities said "identified national security vulnerabilities" were two company managers at Ideal Staffing Solutions Inc., a temporary employment agency in Bensenville. The firm allegedly hired the workers and provided them with deactivated airport security badges that allowed them to work at O'Hare, immigration officials said. Ideal Staffing managers also knowingly allowed workers to lie about their identities on airport security applications, officials alleged. They said they're still investigating whether there are more related security risks at the airport. Read More from the Chicago Tribune

The alert, like similar FBI and Department of Homeland Security terror alerts issued over the past five years at holiday times, raised questions about the credibility of the information.

Culturism means you take culture seriously. If a person is from a culture that despises America you might let them work in a sock factory. But just as Los Alamos, security sensitive areas need culturist discrimination.

Also, being an American means rooting for America. And just because someone sneaks across the border doesn't mean they love America. That is why amnesty's granting people citizen is a culturist mistake. It assumes that all people, regardless of culture, make naturally fab Americans. If diversity is real, culturism is necessary.
