Airport Security Should Be Profiling Arabs(Ann Coulter)

You can't. However, making educated guesses is just common sense.

And what would you base you educated guess on?

[Non-Sequitur]

Would praying loudly in Arabic in the airport be a hint?

Yeah, and if KKK members wore their hoods and robes 24X7 then it'd be a breeze to profile them, too. But Coulter says to profile Muslima and I'm wondering how to do that if they aren't blatent enough to pray loudly in the airport. How would you do it?

I don't think he was referring to the government's repsonse.

Well that's an interesting point, if so. Do you think he's referring to Joe Six Pack AND Liberal Larry taking matters into their own hands on the mainland here? The government's response to that would be to make examples of the jingoistic American haters, imo.

[kellynla]

well you might think it is an "educated guess" but if I were you I wouldn't go around posting that others' opinions are definitely wrong when you don't KNOW. LMAO

there are FReepers who have military intelligence background and access and who just might KNOW more than your "educated guess."

"The government's response to that would be to make examples of the jingoistic American haters, imo."


For sure, but I think another attack will be the last straw for a lot of Americans.

I would hope so, but I wouldn't want to see it result in lynchings or utter chaos. Just wholesale deportations.

Survivalists? ;)

[kellynla]

What I am saying, is that one more terrorist attack and AMERICANS will DEMAND what should have been done on 9/12;
Complete lock-down, borders secured and the whole lot of muzzies DEPORTED...and that just might include muzzie American citizens...after all, citizenship is a privilege not a right! And if deportation is good enough for Lucky Luciano, it's should be good enough for enemies of America.
What we have today with these muzzies and their mosques is no different than the German-American Bunds of the 1930s. Either we are at war or we aren't!

[subterfuge]

Points taken.

Let me ask you a question:

What do you suggest we do? You know as well as I do that almost every terrorist act that has ever occured aside from McVeigh has been done by Arab Muslims. Doesn't that mean that we should suspect any of them traveling in large groups? If a large pack of wolves traveling around town mauled a child, wouldn't you leave rather quickly if you saw a wolf, or even a Siberian Husky that looked like one?

[sageb1]

"And what would you base you educated guess on?"

For the time being, I base it on ethnicity first and foremost. Choice of apparel is a often a factor. Behavior can be a factor. If I can't tell, there's little else I can do. But I make judgments all day long about many people and for various reasons. For instance, someone stole a bike, took it for a joyride, and dumped it across the street from my house a few days ago. I called the cops and they picked it up. If I watch for possible culprits, am I going to be looking for a man in a business suit, or for a bunch of teens walking down the street yelling profanities?

Low tech warfare works for the terrorists...could work for us.
Booby trapped prayer mats.
Poison diapers used for head wraps
After a cartoon is published, plant bombs in refreshment stands along the inevitable anti American protest route.
Don't prevent a civil war, or an actual war among the terrorist nations, encourage and support one.

"If a large pack of wolves traveling around town mauled a child, wouldn't you leave rather quickly if you saw a wolf, or even a Siberian Husky that looked like one?"

If I was a wolf, I would go dark.
If I didn't, I would knowingly increase my risk factor by 10,000.

[kellynla]

we are talkin' past each other.

I'm saying if they were thrown off the plane that they probably did it so they could file a discrimination lawsuit at worst; and you say their reasons were otherwise...
at this point, it doesn't matter...they're off the plane because AMERICANS ARE FED UP!
Now have a good day!

Ann bump! And please add me to your ping list.

I agree with you. My initial comment was a response to

I dont know what we should do. I don't know what the guy meant by one more terror attack and them brownies will get it though. There are plenty of blue eyed blond muslims out there AQ will use them. Should we listen in on mosques and monitor people sure. Should we round of all them brown skins non european people and boot em, your welcome to try. The armed citizens amognst them (like myself) wont be happy with it, to quote the dipset "bip bip bip was my reply"....

[kellynla]

oooh...okay...my mistake! LOL

[RockinRight]

I agree.

Someone starts doing what those guys in Minneapolis did, then they're rightly suspect. I don't think we should "round up the brownies" or whatever that other guy said.

[Nevermore]

How 'bout we just start out by "profiling" people with known terrorist connections who make a scene at the airport & inflamitory remarks, make strange and unnecessary requests of stewards, and get belligerent with security officials?

I can't be sure - we may never know, because no one cared - whether there were other Muslims on that very flight. They weren't hauled off, they were not involved in any scene.
