I'm sorry folks, but anyone with passports from Arab countries or who fits profiles of possible terrorists should be virtually strip searched before boarding and strict limits should be placed as to how many of these people can board a flight

Wrong.

"anyone with passports from Arab countries or who fits profiles of possible terrorists" should already be in a detention camp, or back home. And no new ones should be arriving.

and strict limits should be placed as to how many of these people can board a flight

Correct.

Zero.

The problem is that Al Qaeda isn't stupid. If they know that we're profiling middle eastern men, they'll switch tactics and recruit other races who are either citizens of this country or carry a passport from a nonthreatening country.

Profiling only goes so far.

How really serious can any American think the feds are about stopping terrorists rather than engaging in the usual inside the beltway games and pork barrel operations when whiny socialist Minetta is kept on as Sec of Transportation and large numbers of Arabs continue to enter the US. The lives of American citizens are daily put at additional risk due to a government that is so mired in bureaucratic routine, politics as usual, and pc concerns that it cannot really take the sort of actions to truly combat potential terrorist action on the soil of the US.

How about:

I'm sorry folks, but anyone with passports from Arab countries or who fits profiles of possible terrorists should be virtually strip searched before boarding and strict limits should be placed as to how many of these people can board a flight...

..One per flight
