stripped

They didn't have to apologize:

“On behalf of the Department of Homeland Security, I offer you my sincere apology for having to undergo a strip search”

The sad thing is that this woman was just trying to visit her son in Florida. Instead she got imprisoned for several days, strip searched, and then deported to England (which seems odd since she is from Spain). But of course, you never know who might be a terrorist:

Jawad was traveling to Clearwater to visit her 16-year-old son, who lived with her ex-husband, Ahmad Maki Kubba. Kubba, an Iraqi exile and American citizen for 27 years, was praised last year by Gov. Jeb. Bush for organizing a group to vote in Iraq’s election.

If her husband isn't suspicious enough, perhaps her son:

Kubba said his ex-wife’s detention prompted his son to move to Spain.

“I lost my son because of what happened,” Kubba said. “My son wanted to be in the U.S. Navy, and he speaks both English and Arabic. He would have been just what they are looking for. What they did to Jawad was unfair and is hurting America.”

Nicely done DHS: you terrorized an innocent woman, fucked up her ex-husbands life, and scared off a desperately needed military recruit. At least you apologized, huh? That makes it all OK.
