THis whole civil liberties argument is really rather pathetic. We are going to have profiling, and I for one agree that it makes sense and is about 20 years or so too late.

Cause everyone keeps saying that we should only be looking at arab men, thats why. "I am a middle-aged american male, do I look like a terrorist?" Of course you do, cause a terrorist can look like anyone. The russians have been fighting islamic terrorists for years, good friends of al-queda, and they look just like middle aged american males. If everyones intentions could be seen, there would be no need for screening, but that is not the case.

Ok, enough of this Timmy comparison! He didn't try and hijack a plane .. he parked on a street. Why then is it that airline passengers are the ones subjected to the most intrusive security and not everyone else who drives a car?
Better take a look at the ethnic make up of Islamic american civilians. We had enough in the Army that special religious services were held for them.Sure didn't see any that resembled any young Arab men. That's the difference. Terrorists do not fit one race, color, religion, or sex.
