Thankyou cactus pete, senumber thing, F U C you. Dont hijack my considered post with your blind hatred. Appologies for offence caused by swearing, but subtlety seems irrelevenat this morning. Racial Profiling is here, those who fall under the profile need to accept that the additional security is for their saftey as well as anyone else. Its not racist , its freedom to travel securely</font>
Please identify the "blind hatred." Everything I posted has been rationally related to security concerns and logically presented. I see no other logical solution that would work with a considerable degree of success. The only "blind hatred" I see is from folks like trojan and possibly you who scream insults when you encounter someone who does not share your same Polyana-esque worldview.
You seem to forget that there is a considerable force out there that:
does not want to convert you
does not want to debate you
does not care if you understand their point of view
does not think twice about using our free society and innate trust against us
They simply want to
kill you and everyone you hold dear. If rousting these bad folks out means offending (in a very minimal way) a particular law-abiding segment of our society, so be it. Remember, the resultant safety help
all of us regardless of ethnicity or citizenship in the air and on the ground. How naive can you be?
Right now, you are either for doing what is necessary to capture or kill the terrorists, or you are for not doing this. If you are for not doing this, you are in essense supporting the next attack. You are saying, in fact: I believe that it is better to allow more Americans -- perhaps a great many more -- to be murdered than to capture or kill the murderers or to make others (who resemble or otherwise appeaar to be like the terrorists in one way or another) feel uncomfortable for 5-10 minutes in an airport.
