Aah a name caller in addition to a poor security analyst.

You are right. Sorry for the potential name-calling.

However, since you believe you are a superior security expert, how do you propose to identify Muslims for your profiling?

Documentation is a joke and you know it.

I never claimed to be an expert. What I stated was that your test was a weak way to try to show that profiling didn't make sense. But, I'll give your question a go.

First and foremost, trust the experts. We have some outstanding talent to draw from in this country. Seasoned law enforcement people will tell you that profiling works (Think FBI). Heck, common sense tells you profiling works. We all profile on a daily basis we just may not call it that. The only people who insist profiling doesn't work are those on the Left yet they can never document anything that confirms their assertion.

There are methodologies from data mining, biometrics, to human intervention that can reduce the risk of terrorism. We are in the heat of battle now. Whatever means are effective should be used. Over time they will go away, as they always do. For all the whinging I hear about the fascist state of America nowadays there's virtually no difference now versus pre-9/11 as far as personal freedoms go.

We are over-sensitive to the extremus about this issue. Many countries around the world screen passengers a lot harder than we've ever contemplated doing. Try standing behind a non-Westerner or non-Asian and flying into Singapore or Hong Kong. Yet people continue to fly there. It's all a matter of what people are used to, it's about setting expectations.
