The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will announce a new set of procedures for screening US-Bound air passengers which will use a more comprehensive profile of each passenger to determine who will receive enhanced searches and screenings. These new procedures will replace existing methods which use a more broad brush approach requiring enhanced screenings for all passengers from 14 mostly-Muslim nations. This is clearly a step in the right direction and most likely reflects an implicit admission by the Obama administration that current methods of ensuring secure air travel simply do not work.
According to the Wall Street Journal The aim is to use nuggets of intelligence gathered by U.S. agencies to more effectively screen for potential terrorist threats.

>>This is not a system that can be called profiling in the traditional sense. It is intelligence-based. Well it may not be racial profiling, but it is profiling nonetheless and its a good thing. Why is the government that is supposed to protect us so afraid to face reality and simply state the truth? The vast majority of terrorist targeting US interests around the world can quite easily be categorized by a few specific characteristics. They are young Muslim men. There, was that so hard?

Noooo! I thought it was those racist Tea Party rednecks that’s more threatening..
RACISM! CIVIL RIGHTS! BUSH!!!!/s
Profile the blue hairs! They’re evil!!!!
Yup. He will profile dangerous Mu*lims and offer them jobs in his admin and goon squad.
1.Don't let them in,, in the first place.
2. Go back to where you came from.
Those profiling techniques make sense.
It just doesn’t seem imaginative or sticking by their creed-on the liberal’s part.
Whatever works.
Most of us profile, racial or otherwise, and to deny it is even more offensive. Some five years ago, around the time I retired, I was jumped by five blacks from their late teens into their early twenties and they beat me about the head mercilessly. Last night, walking home from Maundy Thursday services, I heard footsteps behind me and more keenly aware of my surrounding, I looked around to see. From what I saw, I picked up pace to get to a busy, lighted corner as fast as I could. Anyone with a lick of common sense would have followed this pattern.
If the GOP gets back in, in 2012, a new set of internation agreements should set this rule; No visitors will be allowed in U.S. more than 30 days in a year and no visitors from any country that declines an agreement; no more than 30 days in 5 yrs.,,,, if at all.
THIS IS A GOOD THING
HOW THE *HELL* DID WE ALLOW A NECESSARY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE BE TURNED INTO A NEGATIVE???
THE STUPID LIBERALS DID.
AND WE REPEATEDLY LET THEM DO IT TO US.
INSTEAD OF SAYING ‘OF COURSE WE PROFILE SUSPECTS TO FOCUS RESOURCES- HOW STOOPID ARE YOU???” WE GET ALL DEFENSIVE.
NOW THAT THEY SEE HOW NECESSARY IT IS THEN OH THATS ALRIGHT
GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .....!!!!!!!!!!
(does it seem like I am loging it? the voices tell me no I am stll OK)
Add mine to yours: 3. Don't tell them what you're going to do (or what you're not going to do). Keep them guessing. Just do it and catch some them, then change.
Why are we assuming that “intelligence” will come up with the real threats, such as Muslim terrorists. They’ll come up with whatever their masters want—most likely Christian militias, pro-lifers, and similar targets.
Migraine you got the plan that’ll work!!!.........let’s start shipping ‘em out today!!
