U.S Policies

Pat-Downs For Nigerians, Pakistanis, and Cubans

Travelers that plan to come to the United States are going to face many roadblocks. Passengers will face the screening policies that were made due to the terrorist attempt on Christmas day which wasn't successful. Cuban passengers will face this scans and other inspections.
The State Department of the United States has labeled Cuba's government which is communist as a "state sponsor of terror". These Cuban passengers will face extra security check that falls under the TSA policy. This policy also applies to travelers that come from Afghanistan, Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan, Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Sudan and many more will be added to the screening measures. TSA stands for Transportation Security Administration which is an agency that was established in 2001. The U.S transportation system build to insure safe air travel.
The U.S does not put in consideration the feelings of those travelers because they might see it as discrimination when they are put into those security screening while the other travelers do not have to. The are treating them all as terrorist even though they aren't.
A traveler stated "it makes me sad that we'll be treated differently", she said while she waited to board a Miami Flight coming from Havana's Jose Marti international Airport. Cubans see hypocrisy in American terror claims. When the U.S has anti-Castro militants that are living in the U.S who are wanted for terrorist acts.
