I am saying that you are being played for a fool when you buy that making the brown people take their pants off makes you any safer. There are plenty of people with their own reasons for doing what happened on 9/11 and as invalid as those reasons may be when you focus all your attention on puling down one guys pants, the guy who looks just like you may be the one with the loaded undies. If you're prepared to go down the submission of personal freedoms road, be prpared to take that road all the way.

Does it make sense to put every single airline passenger through the drill we are today, having 80 year old women who were born, raised and resided in Midland, MI for her entire life, lifted from a wheel chair and have her adult diapers searched, instead of doing common sense profiling?

I know the humor of this will be lost on you...but I'm gonna say it anyway....It's not as true today as a few years ago maybe, but...

If your name is Mohammad or Ali and you weren't the heavy weight champion of the world at one time, you should be given a little extra perusal when boarding an aircraft in this country.

A person who I work with on projects from time to time is a Professor of Engineering at a local university. His first name happens to be Ali and he is from Saudi Arabia. What is important here is that he is a distinguished professor and researcher who frequently panels academic conferences and peer-reviewed journals. He is also an American. He may have not been born here, but he has done more to contribute to our society than most of us. I have a difficult time understanding why he deserves an extra added "pat" because of how he looks when he is traveling to different conferences.

Should we start profiling the 80 year old women who were born, raised and resided in Midland, MI for her entire life for dope in their geriatric pampers?

When a group of 80 year old women from Midland, MI declare war on the US and vow to destroy us and then fly some planes into a few of our buildings....

I don't think you want to make that argument in light of people like McVeigh...

I wouldn't expect the actions of Mr. McVeigh to have an effect on air travel in this county. But, I do maintain contacts from my youth with people in the Ag business, and believe me when I tell you, that farmers have a few more hoops to jump through when purchasing large amounts of fertilizer.

I am sure those hoops exist for Muslims as well, yes? If everyone has to jump through that hoop, why not the one at the airport?

Could the McVeighs of the world learn anything from the successes of others and attempt the same as Atta and his boys? I'd guess so.

So the criteria for pants dropping time is they must declare war on the US, vow to destroy us and fly planes into a few buildings?

How about preparing for war with us and vowing to destroy us? When you're reactive and not proactive in how you defend yourself you have bunch of different people flying into buildings. Seems to me like white men make greater candidates for pants dropping time nowadays.

Can the Muslim "extremists" get a lobbyist in congress, too?
