DFW: a US Marine private first class, travelling in UNIFORM, was secondarily-searched. What a waste of time/resources!</font>
Yeah, how could a guy with a "uniform" possibly be a threat?

Terrorists are people too. I tend to think I'm creative enough to get around security, and that most people, if they apply themselves, are too. If I'm creative enough to come up with ways of getting around security, a "terrorist think-tank" is certainly going to come up with some good plays.

The more we secure ourselves from turban wearing Muslims, the more dangerous this gets. There are plenty of white guys in Montana who want to overthrow the government.

Well, a Causasian guy, fit, clean shaven, in a Marine uniform that was immaculate is about as far from a Muslim terrorsit as you can get and still be on this earth. I doubt even the best trained fanatic could "walk that walk."
