What particular security advantage do you think would accompany a public announcement assuring persons possessing any particular physical feature (e.g. blonde hair) that they can expect a reduced level of scrutiny? Aside from just giving some people a sense of personal satisfaction, what good would it do for the President to announce that our security procedures will employ a quota system?

I agree entirely. In fact, I don't think too many announcements ought to be made about what our security system is or isn't.

Look at the Dims in Congress....they are already complaining that visitors from certain countries will receive increased scrutiny. If the government said they were going to profile, can you imagine all the screaming & lawsuits that would ensue?

Of course. The government is not going to provide any blueprints for its security strategy. That would be idiotic. Coulter knows that. But she's writing a column and she knows that she can get a lot of mileage by suggesting that the President's policy is being compromised by political correctness. It's her business to write inflammatory columns so that readers can vent their anger. And, as you can see, they are. No harm, no foul.

IOW, this is all just the usual baloney.
