Or what if a white American decides to pull some terrorist attack, throw a religion under the bus, and then commit suicide after pulling off said attack?
EDIT: Just saw the Ron Paul video, I don't usually like either political party but I do like the way this guy thinks. Too bad more people in his party aren't as practical as he is.
We've already been over the point that public profiling isn't the answer. Well, at least that was the side that I was on. You hadn't joined up yet Epyon.
Ooh, i bet this thread will get way more fun now!
All i know is that Pedobear is super excited to get a job with TSA

Do white, non-Muslims commit crimes in this country? Yes. Is that who we're looking at to potentially bring down airplanes? Unless you're one of the PC geniuses who works for the US government the answer is "No".
How, exactly, does someone sending a bomb through the mail or detonating an explosives laden truck in front of a building have anything to do with government-sanctioned invasion of privacy at airports?
Now, if the government wants to start arbitrarily searching my mail or my vehicle because some white nut-job blows someone up, we'll talk.
In my opinion, regarding the topic of airport security, if you don't see how profiling - or at a minimum devoting an inordinate amount of attention to - Muslims traveling by air over virtually 100% of American citizens then you're just naive and don't really understand the problem. And it's not a matter of bringing "comfort" to people. It's a matter of being smart enough to realize that basically all terror attacks against aircraft in this day and age are perpetrated by Muslims. It's a matter of using tactics that work.
How many terror attacks have TSA procedures stopped again?
Thanks for the input but I'd prefer to put my safety into the hands of just about anyone over the TSA.

how about a shot of some facts:
neither of those guys hijacked planes and crashed them into buildings, neither did they do their crimes in the name of their god.
airports should have security. but the way our idiot government is going about it is like administering an enema to cure a toothache.
until we recognize the problem (muslim extremist terrorists) and act appropriately to stop the threat (no more political correctness, swift harsh punishment for the ones we catch) it will just get worse and worse.
as someone has pointed out, our government and the TSA are handing terrorists victory on a silver platter.
the TSA sucks. I traveled a lot for a few years and I can tell you first hand that nothing they do makes any difference. It's a big bloody waste of money. They are worse then cops. Simply by saying something to them that they don't like you can be arrested and charged with a felony.
I don't remember the guy's name, and now I can't find it... but there's a quote from a former director of security for El Al that said "America doesn't have a system of airport security, it has a system to annoy people"
