I don’t think you are a bigot baiter at all but I know the other poster is and has a history of it.

I assume by your reply you do support profiling Middle Easterners and Muslims in the War on Man Made Disasters.

I never said we should not do more than that too. I hope we are and I suspect that once you get past TSA nincompoops that we profile too.

You have to admit we live in la la land of political correctness over this war (and anything else) where offending any sort of minority trumps the real goal of victory.

We refuse to label homegrown terrs what they are.

We refuse to acknowledge the tacit approval Hamas, Taliban, And Bin Laden etc have in many in the Islamic community worldwide.

We now have activist lawyers who support the goals of the terrorists in our DOJ accessing sensitive information all approved by Holder and Obama.

it goes on and on...

basically...we have lost our nuts

Basicly we agree. I think profiling is a necessity, probably best done verbally, but by well trained TSA nincompoops. The US isn’t Israel either in terms of the threat, for now, or the number of passengers or airports. IMO demographically the threat isn’t as much racial as religious. We’re not going to religion, and profiling for Arabs will likely target plenty of Sephardic Jews, Greeks, Italians, you get the idea. And miss what imo is the greatest threat, homegrown converts. If by Arabs you mean passengers traveling on a passport from an Arab country, they should merit attention if they’re blue eyed and blond haired. For the reasons you mention, the liklihood of demographic profiling is zero, but profiling conversationally, not just by TSA but at the ticket counter makes complete sense. And demographics is a clear part of that.
