And while you are being sarcastic about this man being a major security threat, in a way you make an excellent point. Namely, that we’re not allowed to make any judgements about who is a threat. We’re all considered an equal threat to blow up the plane.
Political correctness may yet get us all killed. We are bending over backwards to prove to people like Bin Laden that we are not discriminating against certain types of people, or making any judgements about anything. Instead, we consider everyone an equal threat, just to prove to CAIR and Bin Laden that we are living up to what Obama calls our highest ideals.
Anyone think that Bin Laden is impressed with America standing up for its highest ideals????

And what is the net result of this policy?
Obviously, the goal is to check (and deter) those who might be terrorists. Hopefully we're "covering" those guys.
We're also "covering" a massive number of 81-year-old grannies, 61-year-old bladder cancer survivors named Thomas Sawyer, 30-year Catholic nuns, 30-year flight attendants with breast prostheses, and frightened 3-year-old toddlers.
And all of THAT is another massive waste, a pissing down the hole of absolute nothingness of billions of dollars of our tax dollars, and all for what?
I'll tell you what.
Absolute dick, that's what.
