"We don't want to put dogs all over the airport. They are living beings, not machines, and they can't work 24 hours a day," the expert said on condition of anonymity. Dogs are best used to inspect individual passengers who arouse suspicions, he said
I suggested we use bomb sniffing pigs. They are good with scents, and I somehow think it may be an extra deterrent.

Sri Lankan, Yemen, Aghani, Pali....it doesn't matter where they live or their Nationality. it is the agenda they are following. Terrorists are terrorsits no matter how you dress them or what language they speak or their origin/residence. I can't wait for the leftists to come out and sympathize with the ones based on the Country they are from. Oh wait...

And yesterday he was called "not middle-eastern."
To: freedom_from_socialism
Maybe he is connected to the Tamil Terrorists on Sri Lanka. I'm pretty sure the Tamils aren't Muslim though.
To: ChicagoRepublican
He looked like Yasser Arafat so I guess he wasn't Tamil. Besides, Tamils are more interested in terrorizing Sri Lanka and blowing up Indian Prime Ministers. ;)
To: Oldeconomybuyer
What I still don't "get" is what he thought he would accomplish
by giving himself a hotfoot. IQ test called for here, IMO.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
But is he a Tamil Tiger?
The LTTE (Deadly Lankan terror group) got a pass from the administration's terrorist list. If this guy is a Tiger, then there might actually be some relief in Columbo tonight.

Tariq is the name of a star, or the name of a famous Moslem general who attacked Spain. Isn't Gibraltar a corruption of an Arabic word meaning Fort Tariq?

Allow me to suggest we strip search everyone that looks even remotely Muslim.

Ha! We were thinking the same thing at the same time.
Tamils are a mixture of religions. It's more of a regional thing with Southern India and Sri Lanka. There are Tamils that are Muslim.
To: Pilsner
With all the confusing information we have been trying to absorb,
I'm having trouble dredging up the answer to "who is Tariq Azziz?"
I know that know the answer, but my mind is "like jello" this morning.
To: ChicagoRepublican
Or, he could be an Al Qaida member - not ALL 'arab' terrorists are Arabs... the training camps of the terrorists, at least in the 80s, were very internationalized and 'multi-cultural'... They were bound by ideology and/or religion...

Iraqi foreign minister.
