This is our Achilles heel. Anytime you profile, challenge, suspect, investigate, question or look twice at a black person, you’re a racist. They get a special pass. They will be the delivery system, the Trojan horse, for jihadists in America.
Tolerance of an enemy in the White House is the weakness. The only solution is to rid the country of such a person.
Unfortunately there is no legal means
We need to adapt El Al’s security measures which were bandied about after 9-11 and promptly forgotten. The goal is to identify the risk of certain behaviors. The measures include such things as:
Profiling by religion and country of origin,
Looking at recent travel history,
Checking passport and name against multiple data bases,
Multiple screenings of luggage,
Luggage not left unattended once screened,
Intense inspection of passports and boarding passes,
Sky marshals on every plane,
Double doors on all cockpits,
Pilots are allowed to armed in cockpits, and
Interviews by security officers prior to boarding.
Even at overseas airports El Al conducts security checks, even if they are supervised by government or private security firms.

What I like about El Al’s approach is that they catch not only those on the terror watch lists, also those who have recently traveled to Muslim countries for ‘training’, converts who don’t fit the traditional Jihadist profile, e.g. blond blue-eyed man name Patrick O’Reilly, and those who are duped into carrying ‘gifts’ in their luggage.
Everyone is treated the same.
You don’t have to get partially undressed, undergo intrusive, embarrassing procedures, or adhere to insane regulations that change minute to minute in order to fly.
Also, IIRC anyone who not allowed to fly EL AL is very courteously assisted in getting a flight on another airline.
