Simply banning all Muslims from airplanes would do the job.

I don't want to see moslems banned from flying. I wouldn't mind seeing lots of them in the west-or at least the USA-purchase airline tickets. One way tickets to the moslem country of their preference.

So what happens if Muslims decide in the name of Allah and Jihad to take up Christian names and dress and just for Jihad purposes religion?

Lipstick too? They've already banned my face moisturer, my contact conditioning solution and cleaner, my contact soaking solution, my hair gel, my hair spray, my shampoo, my hair conditioning lotion, my deodorant (and this is truly a necessity in a confined space with people who don't shower on a daily basis), and my bottled water. When is enough, enough!

Yes, one last one-way flight to their cess-pit of a home country would be fine with me, as long as the pilot, crew and all the passengers are Muslim, too. I'd even chip in for their tickets.

I would let them (muslims) fly confined in a cage on board of cargo planes. As they are murderous subhumans they should not be allowed on passenger planes.

My plan would eliminate 99 percent of them, and the remaining scum could be easily identified.

I disagree. I think we should all be treated the same. Two that were caught had a baby or was pregnant. It's ok to check out grandma as long as the "special" people get the same search.

The airlines work over granny and grandpa, while letting young, ME males trot right on through security. This is ridiculous, and an horrendous waste of taxpayer funds.

Forcing a person to leave his eyedrops in his checked luggage, when he's a 9th generation American, and a WW11 Vet to boot, is absurd.

Would anyone fly regularly if white people were never sceened at all?

Anyone can be a threat.

An innocent can be used as a mule unknowingly to carry explosives. White people from California became islamo facists.

Americans have caused airliners to crash by murdering the pilots. It happened in 1987 in California.

You have to check everyone. Sorry.

And you are a serious threat to liberty! If you think any of these measures make you safe, you don't have a clue about the real world of terrorism!

I wasn't aware we all had accurate, honest, & verifiable religious affiliation ID cards.

I am also amazed that we can't do the same thing based on passport nationality, which again is correlated with ethnicity, but not defined by ethnicity. If you are flying on a passport issued by an Islamist stronghold, expect to be scrutinized.

If Islamic society can't keep its mad dogs from jumping the fence and eating the neighbors' kids, the neighbors can be expected to deal with the problem with whatever means are needed. It's already a life-or-death situation, so whining about collateral damage will fall on deaf ears.
