The key is profiling people - not things. You want to focus on how potential terrorists behave. We may need to adjust ethnic/religious profiling as circumstances warrant but its a vital tool. We cannot possibly stop every dangerous item from being brought aboard a plane but we can stop dangerous people from boarding a flight. To do that we have to get beyond obsessive political correctness that demands there is no difference between Muslims, Christians and Jews when it comes to who is most likely to commit a terrorist act.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
