se94583, perhaps you should stop flattering yourself that people are calling you a racist simply because they disagree with you. I suggest you take a good hard look at yourself and ponder for a moment whether you really are a racist. I don't think anyone else really has any doubt of the answer.

Furthermore, your arguments are fundamentally fatuous. Profiling for suspicious activity is not the same as profiling based solely on race. Since you suggest we ban all Arabs from flying, why don't you simultaneously suggest we ban all white people from renting Ryder trucks? Isn't that just threat recognition? Or are you not making that suggestion because you don't want to have YOUR liberties infringed upon? Terrorists can attack everything that makes this country great from the outside -- but it's people like you who are destroying this country from the inside.
