Governor Palin has weighed in on the TSA lunacy via Twitter:
Law enforcemnt profiles individuals/suspects when seeking info 2 prevent or deal w/other crimes;Why can't this be done @ airports 2 prevent?
TSA: why politically incorrect 2 "profile" anyone re: natl security issues?we profile individuals/suspects in other situations! profile away

This whole "enhanced pat down" episode is, as Governor Palin correctly implies out, an example of political correctness run amuck. Because this administration refuses to use simple common sense and profile terrorists like everyone else in the world, we're reduced to frisking nuns and screaming 3-year old children so we can't be accused of profiling (the horror!). And the coup de grace? Big Sis is considering giving a "pat down exemption" to Moslem women out of fear of offending them. When I first heard about that, I was sure it was a joke. I was wrong, although I'm sure the terrorists are having a good laugh.
That this is even being considered is absurd. Count me among those who don't believe this administration has a clue as to how to protect the country which, I thought, was the primary responsibility of the federal government (as opposed to putting ourselves in unnecessary danger so that our enemies will think we're tolerant or something). I guess I was wrong on that count too. Would it be impolitic of me if I went out on a limb and predicted that if and when the next terrorist attack occurs, the perpetrator will much more closely resemble Mohammad Atta than Sally Field? Just asking.

If your point was that in rare instances, non-arabs can be terrorists, then I see that.
The only thing you missed was Timothy McVeigh, who is constantly invoked lately as a Christian terrorist, although he was not a Christian.
The point is if 99% of terrorists look like, ahem, terrorists, TSA should single them out for the kind of invasive exams that they now are giving to ordinary flyers.
It just makes sense.

You fail to understand the Israeli approach. You get from the entrance of the airport property to you seat on the plane in 45 minutes.
You are never exposed to somone standing next to you with a large suitcase that has never been scanned for explosives.
You are never standing next to someone who may be armed.
You antiPalinistas are like the little pukes in the playground calling everyone else names.

Gee, the conservatives who used her words and energy delivered the biggest electoral victory for conservatism in over a hundred years!
She is constantly stating her positions on the most important problems facing America today. WHO ELSE IS DOING THAT?

Reading your posts will make anyone's IQ plummet. What a waste of time.

If Governor Palin does not understand the difference between the two different tasks, then shes not ready for the Oval Office. Which "two different tasks"? The article mentions several "tasks".
Why do you infer that Palin is unable to differentiate among tasks?

Until TSA decides that that comes under their perview. They are “Transportation Security’, after all. Once the camel’s nose is under the tent flap...

Oh, the seminar caller comeback; how droll. But since our mistakes live forever on the internet, heres one of mine. For weeks afterward, copies of this showed up at McCain rallies all over the place. Now, like the ex-Obama fan who created that stupid red and blue poster, Ive just got to live with it. I stand corrected. You ain't a seminar caller, you're a former starry-eyed true believer. This is politics, Felix. If your born-on date in 2007 is near the start of your political activism/awareness, then you are just experiencing the let-down from not getting instant results. This is just the way it is. Palin is more of a heavyweight than even Hillary! - she's running a shadow Presidency against the lightweight Chocolate Jimmah & his brain-damaged sidekick Joey "My Mouth Needs A Depends" Biden.
What's not to like? Learn some patience.
Seems to me that Sarah does nothing but "call people out" these days... while having no real responsibilities herself. That's called being a backseat driver, or a cable news commentator - not the next president of the United States. I was a big Palin fan when McCain picked her, but she's done nothing but flap her gums ever since.
So, what other Republican "leaders" are "calling people out" and rattling their cages? NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. ZIP.
She even called out The BenBernank & his puppetmasters, The Goldman Sachs. Dang!

Right back to ya’.
I have my cell phone on vibrate and carry it in my BVDs.
I’ve told all my friends that if they call me on my cell phone, if I don’t answer immediately, let it ring a while. Aw’ come on! Be a pal. Let it ring a while. ;oD

“This favoritism is beyond words. One knows his enemy by reputation, claims, dress, attitude and history of violence. We know who they are and their plans and its us or them and it sure as hell shouldnt be us.”
This has got to stop,frisking down old white men and woman in a power wheel chair,by Obamas perverts.

Profiling might be right, but offering up specious reasoning to support it is very weak.
Have you ever had a positive thing to say about Governor Palin?
Is it true you would be OK with a Mitt Presidency?

Sad, but indicative of why Gov. Palin's cultists are crafting a potential candidacy that remains a façade unable to stand on its own or withstand any scrutiny.
She needs to refudiate (an excellent word, BTW!) this approach, begin answering the questions she evaded, and regain some of the respect that has been lost.
#1, you might want to re-evaluate your usage of the term cultist. It makes you look like a crack-pot and someone suffering a case of PDS.
#2, which questions is Sarah supposed to have side-stepped?
To: Gondring
Sorry, but all you have done is provide the rare example of Muslims that actually to the right thing or what would be called out-liers in a data sample. Profiling works. If the Muslims want to drop the "conquer the world" approach of their religion; if they want to drop the "lie to the infidel" clause of their religion, if they want to drop the Jihad component of their religion on a wholesale scale, you might have a point.
Until then, Profile the hell out of them. If they don't like it, tough!

“I think she's revving up for a FaceBook entry!”
I hope so because I really hate reading that twitter crap.

Cannot argue with message, but her grammar is going to become a target. It is one thing to be accused of being uneducated but she doesn’t want to fuel the fire.
