Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave
Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.

Hmm, you forgot the oklahoma bombings and most of the failed terrorist plots here in good ole American were white Americans. Oh I see, you didn't want to show that right...

Which failed terrorist plots?

Of course, you can't always profile every group. After all, aren't many child molestors, serial killers, and KKK'ers all white Christian men? Doesn't mean all of them are.

Nevertheless, why NOT profile them? They are waging a jihad against us. They are the enemy. And as prejudiced as it sounds, it is typically what they look like.

[southerngale]

I agree j and duckie. Why NOT?

Maybe, if we quit occupying their land, we won't need to. Plus, it is pure and simple discrimination, and would make a bad precedent...

You've GOT to be kidding me!

Oh come on crazy. They brought the war here to us in our homeland on September 11. Don't forget that.

[GalvestonDuck]

Maybe if they'd stay in their land...and quit trying to tell us we're infidels and the "Great Satan."

There's a serious problem with profiling. Once arab muslims realize they're being profiled, they'll just get someone else to do their dirty work. There are caucasian, asian, and african muslims, none of whom look like arabs.

Agree to profiling now but also agree that they know this and will recuit from non muslim and people that dont look arab.

[gtalum]

The stated reason for 9/11 was twofold: our military presence in Saudi Arabia (unwanted by the people of Saudi Arabia) and our support of Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip and teh West Bank.

So, how is one going to differentiate between male muslim extremists, and just regular male muslms?

[gtalum]

So, how is one going to differentiate between male muslim extremists, and just regular male muslms?

And there lies another major problem with profiling.

[GalvestonDuck]

So, how is one going to differentiate between male muslim extremists, and just regular male muslms?

By profiling them and screening them.

"Okay, you're safe...go ahead and board. Um...you? Nope, you need to come with us...and leave the bag."
