focused and precise racial and religious profiling at US airports and ports of entry (as well as in domestic check ins and flights) is the way to start on the WOT. this smacks of political correctness to me. until we even begin to start on that road, all other solutions i think are just dancing around the issue and avoiding doing what we should long ago have been doing.

What's funny is that some Middle Eastern countries have no problem with blatant racial profiling. They profile their own. I can't tell you how many times western colleagues and I have been waved through security areas at airports with a cursory glance or "Amrikee, Amrikee....go on through," while the Arabs get stopped and thoroughly searched. And I've never seen or heard any of the Arabs complain about it.
They get it.
