"Anyone with dark skin or who spoke with an accent was taken aside and searched," passenger Mike Glass of Seattle told the Times. "And then they went to any male with too much facial hair."

Speaking as someone with far too much facial hair, I can only say "GOOD!"

[nothingnew]

Charming...

FMCDH

Time for mass deportation of every non us citizen of middle eastern decent. Follow by denying entry to same at all borders and ports. This is war!

[Tunehead54]

Goodbye sicko!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Just give them a few days.

[mombonn]

If you started a new thread just to ask a question, that's probably why it was pulled.

It's NOT ridiculuous - it' called wise use of bandwidth. BTW, have you contributed to the the fundraiser? If not, why not?

[b4its2late]

How long before the FALN terrorists that x42 released will do some damage?

[Freeper 007]

Notice the dates, and the fact that they immediately pulled the cover. There are going to be a lot of things that were acceptable on Monday, but will turn our stomaches on Wednesday.

Tuesday changed the rules forever.

I would suggest to all what I intend. If I get on an airplane and see any arab looking individual, I will loudly, yes LOUDLY insist either he deplane or I will.

[wastoute]

PS Yup that is right. I suggest patriotic arab americans take trains.

ABC and local reports said some of those arrested were carrying knives similar to those used in Tuesday's hijackings.

What in the hell is going on? If this is true, and these were the detainees from the plane, how in the hell did they get on board with knives?

"But has anyone else given thought to or heard about the possibility that these people being caught are "copy cat" terrorists--merely sympathizers who know nothing about the actual conspiracy? "

I brought that up to several people yesterday, and it seems that not many people were thinking that far ahead of Tuesday's atrocities.

It bears keeping in mind, and I'm sure the agents involved have been thinking about it.

Also Farakhan and the rest of the Nation of Islam scum.

Uh oh. Wait 'til the PC Police hear about this!

[OKSooner]

Yes, I acquired my M1 Garand Sword in 1981. It was rebarrelled in 1957; other than that I don't know its history.

Let's hope I won't have to use it for anything I haven't already used it for.

[OKSooner]

BTW, thanks for the scripture, I think I see a personalized license plate in my car's future...

[VoodooEconomist]

Has any liberal dared squawk about racial profiling yet?

Here's an idea - to kill two birds with one stone ... so to speak.

As generous taxpayers, let's fund the airlines - that will allow liberals to fly free for two weeks. No one flies except liberals. No profiling of any sort. And using existing (i.e. before Tuesday attack) security measures at airports. While the terrorists are purging themselves, liberals can feel good about being PC.

[ATOMIC~ONE]

has any one heard of guilt by association ?

[DouglasKC]

Just think about how many lives were saved by shutting down ALL air travel almost immediately...good one Bush administration!
