Which Travelers Have 'Hostile Intent'? Biometric Device May Have the Answer

[The Lumster]

who mistakenly assume that people who have actually killed Americans by the thousands are the real problem.

I'm not sure why you refuse to see the problem here. I am not against defending this nation.

I think we should have closed the borders and revoked ALL visa's after 911
I think we should be searching out and removing all non citizens from this country while we are at war
I think we should not allow Muslims in the U.S. Armed Forces
I think we should profile Middle Eastern men and women in airports
I do not think that a government that refuses to take the most sensible steps to protect us can be trusted to defend and protect the constitution
I think using a machine to determine 'intent' is a danger to your freedom and mine

...only The Shadow knows.

People - even the suicidal/homocidal Moslem variant of questionable intelligence - can be trained to outwit any machine.

How do you prove that you don't have 'hostile intent' when the machine says you do?

The same way it has always been done; lack of means and opportunity.

Every killer is guilty of "only" hostile intent, until he pulls the trigger or plunges the knife.
