"I’m, for one - I know it’s not politically correct to say it - I believe in racial and ethnic profiling. I think if you’re looking at people getting on an airplane and you have X amount of resources to get into it, you get at the targets, and not my wife."

I’m all for it. Why frisk that 76 year old black lady on her way to a church conference Atlanta, Georgia or pat down a 3 year old red-headed kid on his way with the family to Disneyworld and walk right past the guy wearing Islamic dress, with a Middle-Eastern name, no checked baggage and a one-way ticket?
I believe in Religious Profiling.
I don’t care how much light they reflect or the shape of their nose.
But if they’re white as the driven snow and Muslim, they should get the full strip-search.
Because it requires common sense and a basic desire to protect this Nation and its patriots.
We simply cannot offend suicide bombers...after all, they have important work to do.
I believe in religious profiling. There’s only one group out to kill us, and that’s Muslims. They can be any race or language group, and they can even be Americans. The only thing they have in common is Islam, and that’s what we’ve got to start looking for.
Great minds...

Inhofe should go one step further and propose religious profiling. After all, what have the terrorists of 9/11, Lockerbie, Fort Hood and the failed Christmas bomber all have in common? I let you guess.

I was stripped searched going from Jordan into Israel and it wasnt as embarrassing as I feel being wanded going from one US city to another..
Yes, I have been reduced to tears a couple of times...
Sen Inhofe is quite the private pilot and I actually met him @ Oshkosh.
My guess he is running the block on TSA and what they may further do to General Aviation.
Just a wild @$$ guess on my part...
You’ve got my vote, Senator.
Inhofe is the man.
Inhofe 2012
My Brother in Law sold him an old Aronica Champ he rebuilt, about thirty years ago. We both rebuilt a 1946 BC12D Taylorcraft, and used it to get a license, lot of fun in that old plane. I haven't been up in nearly 25 years. Oh well....
