(CNN) Enhanced screening procedures for U.S.-bound air passengers traveling through "state sponsors of terrorism or other countries of interest" such as Pakistan, Yemen and Nigeria amount to religious profiling of Muslims, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said Monday.
The Transportation Security Administration announced the strengthened security steps Sunday, saying that "effective aviation security must begin beyond our borders."
A senior government official, not authorized to speak on the record, provided CNN with the list of 14 countries subject to the enhanced screening for travelers heading to the United States: Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.

CAIR, what a surprise. Or not.
Too bad. When Arab muslims quit blowing themselves up to kill us, we’ll quit suspecting them.
Fair enough?
The answer is minimum security flights. No profiling, no screening, and no scanning. Heavily armed flight crews and personal firearms can be considered carry on luggage.
Seriously, I don't understand what their problem is. If it were redheads that were carrying out these acts, I would be happy to get a rectal search so that the other passengers would have confidence that I wasn't a threat to them.

I don’t CAIR.
If all the grandmas and little ones from these countries are scrutinized, too, then I don’t see how it can be construed as profiling.

Let's think real hard, Nihad, about why that might be.... Hmm...
Its high time the GOP leadership crawls out from whatever rock it sleeps under and demands profiling of all muzzies using the same techniques EL AL uses to keep the filthy muhammedan subhuman animals from blowing up its citizens.
Make those marxist SOB’s running DC go on record on the profiling question,”Do you support racial and religious profiling, yes or no?”
They can start with the muzzie son of a whore in the White House.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Boo Effen HOO. Call the Waaahmbulance.
If one belongs to a group that commits the vast majority of these heinous acts, one should expect a little extra scrutiny.
I think they entire membership of CAIR should be rounded up and sent to a concentration camp in Alaska.
If it walk like a duck and quacks like a duck - it’s a duck.
Hey CAIR, when your muslims stop killing non-muslims, then maybe we’ll stop profiling. But that won’t happen, so.....live with it. Better yet, why don’t you and your peace loving muslims go back to the third world $hitholes you came from and leave the rest of the civilized world in true peace. I suggest you do it now, willingly, before you’re safely and humanely escorted out, permanently by peoples who wish to remain free, and practice MUTUAL respect towards others. It will be a lot less painful to leave now then your previous escorts out of Europe on and off over the past 1,000 years, until sadly enough the Europeans have wimped out over the last couple of decades. No matter, we’ll probably come to their rescue once again. Either way, you got to go because no matter what you say, you continue to show your true colors by what you do. You can’t help it, it’s your culture and your nature and the sooner the rest of the West understands it, the better off both parties will be. Go home, after all, that is really where you want to be, admit it.
You just know Barney Frank would have no objections ~ just so long as the checker was a good looking guy.
And that is wrong.
