The TSA needs to start looking for terrorist and not some old lady with a water bottle. Were any of the terrorist caught in the UK not Muslim? NO! Why do we waste all this time when profiling would do the trick.

I believe one of the terrorists in England was a white boy recently converted.

Probably a liberal idiot who's girlfriend wouldnt have sex with him and he wanted to commit suicide.Either that or a woman hating POS.

Yes, they would all wring their hands in anguish, "Oh no! Thwarted by pesky Arabic names and appearance! No way around it. None. Dang, let's call the whole thing off."

Standing up to and questioning a TSA officer at a domestic airport these days, high school-educated, over-empowered and over-entitled, (rude and even CRUEL to passengers who haven't the slightest resemblance to the terrorist profile) for something MORALLY RIGHT such as to step in and stop them from reducing a wheelchair-bound 90 year old Chinese woman and her daughter to tears over repeated yelling and wanding, could land one in federal jail for 10 years.

It has come to this. It is madness, sheer madness. We have lost a lot of freedoms.

I am for good security. Intelligent security. What we are starting to get at airports, though, is outright tyranny and abuse of power steeped in unprofessional Barney Fife-ism. And cowering passengers, citizens who used to have rights, afraid to challenge anything. I can snif abuse of power from 1000 meters. US airports REEK of it these last few years.

How do you profile a religion?

The jihadists are quite willing to use pregnant women or old women - and their prime candidates for attacks are whites who converted.

Profiling is getting harder to do. The little old lady boarding the plane may have had her grandson help her with her bags - her white grandson who recently converted to Islam and doesn't mind blowing up grandma to strike a blow for jihad.
