With all the bad press the TSA has received recently, we can't be sure if the acronym stands for Transportation Security Administration, Touches Sensitive Areas or Truly Scandalous Attention. But, for sure, its pat downs and sci-fi radiation screeners give many of us another good reason to avoid the increasingly unfriendly skies. Yet while the TSA right now has supplanted the IRS as the bureaucracy we most love to hate, its policies are merely part of a longstanding cultural trend: The failure to recognize that the good of the many outweighs the good of the few.
It's the same reason why certain cities, most notably London, are now surveilling their residents with thousands of video cameras. If you're not willing to administer punishment sufficient to deter all the criminally inclined save a few intractable miscreants, some of whom you can catch, the only other solution is to have an all-seeing Big Brother that can catch all. It's much like treating a cancer: If you cannot target just the affected tissue, the only other solution is to treat the whole body.
Because the former is preferable not just in medicine but also law enforcement, behavioral-sciences specialists long ago developed the method called "profiling." Unfortunately, social-engineering specialists soon after discredited the universal application of profiling with a method called propaganda. Consequently, when we want to administer targeted treatment in the effort to thwart terrorism, we're told that it's "racial profiling" and beyond consideration. This is utter nonsense.

Our survival is at stake.
Political correctness is gay! One tiny bit of common sense would tell you that the terrorist probably isn’t the grandmother, and probably not the little baby, and probably not the 13 year old girl, but it may be the guy wearing the turban named ali al quieda hussein.
If you were a terrorist, would you try to look like someone who will be profiled, or not?
“If you were a terrorist, would you try to look like someone who will be profiled, or not?”
Explain how the Israeli’s keep them off?
Pat down all muzzies with bacon-wrapped gloves.
They don’t use El-Al.
If I were a terrorist I would attempt to disguise myself as a 3 year old cause they’re not looking for 3 year olds....or are they?
I like the Enumerated Powers Act -- make Congress explicitly state what part of the Constitution allows the federal government to regulate the thing they are regulating with each law.
It seems to me that TSA should not exist.
Unfortunately Muslims will use any means any trickery to destroy Christians and Jews. They use kids and women to blow themselves up. And...lots of Americans are muslims now-—blonde blue eyed ones from Bosnia and Kosovo (thanks to Bush and Clinton for letting them in) not to mention the converted/brainwashed ones born here etc.
Trickery - taquiyya is one of the tenets of Mohamed's cult. Nothing we can do will stop them..only the Lord Jesus and those heroic Christians who proselytize to them.

I agree. Any law passed by the Congress or States should first pass the test of whether or not it is Constitutional, before it becomes law. All other laws entered on the books in the last two years should also have to pass a Constitional test.
They use ID’s as a way to monitor who’s who.

So some Muslims will do anything to destroy us but we feel the need to be politically correct and not profile them? We are pretty much doomed then.
Profile already.
It was insanity of the liberal mind that would say we wouldn’t under any circumstance.
This is an IQ Test for the country, how badly do we want to live free.
The Todd and Don show on KLBJ in Austin just had a former PLO terrorist on live. He bombed a bank in Israel and participated in the lynching of Israeli soldiers. He was on for about 25 minutes. He will also speak at Ft Hood this month.
He said profiling is the ONLY way to stop terrorism. The radicals will stop at nothing to find a way to terrorize people here. He and his family came here because this is the last island of liberty left in the world.
Too bad obummer and janet incompetento couldn’t have heard him speak. This guy really explained the terrorists’ mindset and how they exploit every small detail to spread their fear and terror.
Because? 1. Because Israeli intelligence is better than ours they already know who most of the bad guys are. Unless do a really good disguise or have their facial features and hand (including fingers) changed they will be caught. 2. Because El Al employs terrorist profiling techniques that go way beyond mere appearance(see 1 above). In short they don’t waste their time and energy on frisking, groping and/or fondling children and the Blue Rinse Set. 3. Because they really don’t care about Muslim “sensitivities” when it come to doing their job—you know, trying to survive as a people and nation. There is no hiding behind or under a habib—for women or men.
The effectiveness of Israeli vigilance is more than sufficient to deter all but the craziest of the Jihadis from attacking them.
It really isn’t difficult once you get over this PC BS.
