Don't forget there are many blue-eyed/blond-haired muslims, along with blacks and Asians.

Ok, someone answer me this..what happens..what happens IF the next time they try to sneak something onto a plane and have it hidden in a body cavity?? it's not out of the realm of possibility considering these guys will go through any lengths to blow stuff up and need ways to get it onboard..

what happens to the travelling public then?

Jump on this for being dumb, but I'd bet some imam somewhere would find something in the koran that says it's ok..

I sure hope they crack down on the grandmothers, as usual. You wouldn't believe the power of the chemicals that make their hair blue. They're a really dangerous bunch.

Let's just all fly nude. Let's carry this to its logical conclusion and strip. And then we'll have to all submit to pat downs and searches of any orifice.

They are not going to profile here. Get used to it. So they must do something.

As a Hindu American I look pretty similar to Pakistanis (brown with black hair) but I'd put up with profiling and the occasional wand if it could keep these bastards from blowing up planes. How long is this going to be tolerated?

More insanity at TSA and DHS. They're doing this to us because they refuse to profile.

And President Bush refuses to countermand them.

I'm driving everywhere, not flying.

All day I have watched calm, uncomplaining people, both Brit and Yank, patiently go through the chaos at the airports. I heard interviews on many shows with passengers and everyone was cheerful and undertanding.

Must have bothered AP, so they made sure to make this the sort of article that elicits groans. Maybe Schumer was the stringer on this story!

I am glad they don't give the crews special treatment. I do not trust that crews are not infiltrated by Muslims.

After 9/11, I was dreading flying, from all the negative stories. In reality, it was not much worse than before, except for the shoe part.

I had heard a report that the intended explosive was peroxide based which would be ignited by a flash bulb or electronic device that would provide a spark to ignite it.

I guess any woman or man that has had their hair dyed using peroxide or such deserves special attention as well, not to mention folks who utilize and carry camera equipment.

Lets just keep tightening the noose ,, on all the wrong folks, why don't we?.

I have any number of acquaintances in the same boat as you, as a rule I don't proposed singling them out based on that alone, but when it comes to those travelling, to ignore them as things sit today as a result of even more events of late, I am glad you understand, it is nothing personal, it is only prudent.
