How Stupid Are We?

Hey, we're Republicans!

You really don't want to know the answer to that question!

In the collective sense? To the extreme. Sorry, but that's my final answer...

When you set up a system designed to drag the nation down toward the lowest common denominator, that's what ya get...

Good points, except that you can't screen for Muslim, it isn't a distinguishing characteristic and thus has no real merits. You can screen stereotypes and prejudice against certain methods of dressing, but that would be pretty easy to get around.

Same question was asked about conventional crime.
50% of all crime is committed by 3% of the population (black males 18-30) but we wouldn't want to profile them, that would be wrong.

Our President isn't going to like your attempt to slander the "religion of peace." It's only around 1% of Muslims who are bad apples/terrorists.....

....Unfortunately, 1% of 1.3 billion is 13 million terrorists.

As I've said many times: Common sense has left the building. I've seen this nonsense firsthand and am sure those of you who've flown commercial airlines since 9/11 have, as well. MEM (Middle Eastern males) walk right on board unfettered, while 80-year-old whites and blacks are pulled out of the boarding line and made to take their shoes off, have their bags rifled through, etc. All MEM should be screened more carefully, plus random people from the remaining groups. It's plain common sense, but our government can't be bothered with things like that. Let's never forget that we changed the name of our war to avoid offending our enemies. Doesn't that just about wrap it up?
