"On September 21, as the remains of thousands of Americans lay smoldering at Ground Zero, [Secretary of Transportation Norman] Mineta fired off a letter to all U.S. airlines forbidding them from implementing the one security measure that could have prevented 9/11: subjecting Middle Eastern passengers to an added degree of pre-flight scrutiny. He sternly reminded the airlines that it was illegal to discriminate against passengers based on their race, color, national or ethnic origin or religion."
no comment..
I can assure you that despite all public statements, there is profiling going on. Even WASPs get profiled if they have flown to a Muslim country.
What you may not know is that major airports have bomb sniffers everwhere. Obviously there are ways around this, but they would involve having some luck.
There will probably be more hijackings in the future, but terrorists cannot depend on passengers being passive.
And the official agencies seemed to have NO problem with Chief Moose coming out and announcing he was looking for 2 white guys in a white van.
Maybe it's just my being white, but that seems very close to 'profiling based on Caucasian race and gender.' Notice how there are few cries of racism and profiling when the 'person(s) of interest' happen to be Caucasian and male?
well hey - it's the law and it needs changing....by our Congress of Cowards??
ALL OTHERS IN THE WORLD GET THE BENEFITS OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Amazing!!
Right on..but let's have a few heads rolling when it is
shown too much of a leeway..there is a lot of BS going on..
but amnesia on 9/11...is rampant in the liberals viewpoint.
Let's kill them before they get a 2nd chance....a pro-choice we can and should live with..who the hell would anyone talk to to stop terrorism?..no one!! Just do it to
them first..or you're toast. Jake
