Racial profiling is an obvious tool that must be used in our Brave New World if we expect to continue our way of life. The rest of the world, including Europe is laughing at our stupidity of ignoring the obvious. Have we forgotten 9/11 already.

How about just muslim related hijacking and terrorist crimes. Wait we have that already in the quiz.

Sure lets get those statistics. But lets say a drug dealer has a gun on him and security finds it. Are they going to let him go because he isn't going to hijack the plane? After all the gun is only to protect his cocaine that he is transporting.

I would suspect that it is security's goal to prevent as many crimes as they can through screening. That is why many international airports have drug sniffing dogs. That is why racial profiling isn't the best idea. You concentrate so hard on one particular group the people not of that group slip through unoticed. Thus the random searches.

Let the big boys do the difficult work and make the tough decisions so your heart can continue to bleed and you can continue to freely speek out against them.

Like it or not, we're at war. The Middle Eastern Muslim extremists declared it. If we don't fight back, we will all die. That goes for our daughters, sisters and mothers as well.

plabonte,

The drug war is a joke. Drug dealers don't knock down skyscrapers. Drug dealers don't fly fully fueled airliners into The Pentagon. Drug dealers don't want every American dead.
