That same exact "quiz" was already discussed in OMNI.

As I said in that one, since you guys think we should spend 100% of our time looking at "Muslim males of Middle Eastern extraction between the ages of 17 and 40" what happens when the above group of people starts traveling with false credentials that suggest they're white or American citizens? Or younger or older than the above age range? Or gets their wife, grandmother or child to smuggle things past security?

How about the young Palestinian girl who blew herself up today or yesterday in Israel? The Palestinians pioneered airplane terrorism, they were responsible for the first major hijacking with worldwide media coverage. They can use women in their plots it would seem.

I guess we're also forgetting the fact that OKC was bombed by a white American, and John Walker is also a white American.

I was watching Vegas Week on the travel channel. They had a head of security at the Rio hotel talking; she said something along the lines of "We don't have a profile for who were're looking for. We have to watch everyone or we'd miss a lot of stuff."
