There is growing evidence that confirms what we already suspected: The hijackers were groups of Arab male non-citizens.
I am in favor of ethnic/national profiling at our airports. If the passenger is:
1) Arab
2) Male (esp. in the 20-50 age range)
3) Non-U.S. citizen (esp. from the Middle East)
Then:
1) Search the luggage.
2) Search the carry-ons.
3) Frisk the person.
If there are two or more Arab male non-citizens boarding the same plane, double or triple the scrutiny.
Also, do not let anyone fitting the above profile work in an airport.
This is war.
They haven't been trained in political correctness and tolerance, they never pray for peace, they don't love their enemy. They are the embodiment of HATRED. They speak the language of hate 24/7, they pray for the death of their enemies and they cheer violence, offering their children as martyrs.
We cannot apply our Constitutional rights to them. They don't want them. They want us to die. They want to celebrate carnage. Rights? They don't speak the language of rights unless they are making demands and telling lies.
Drop the plea for "tolerance" and realize that there is no moral equivalence between America and the people of Islamic terror.
How can we call martyrdom "cowardly acts"? Do we not understand what the the term "holy war" means?
Our enemy has been convinced they are engaged in a jihad - a holy war for Islam. That means everyone plays a part in the war. They all fight together in their own way - they hide and support the leaders, they celebrate the dead heroes, they offer themselves and their children as shields, they pray constantly for bloodshed in the name of Allah.
They are not cowards - they are insanely brave fanatics of an evil, false, bloodthirsty religion.
Let us see the enemy clearly and recognize its twisted concept of God, duty, life and honor. It is the child of the father of lies and doomed to die.
When we fight against terrorism as we must now, we will not fight for peace. We will fight for the annihilation of our enemy. There is a difference.
May God grant us understanding, wisdom, strength, courage and victory over our enemies in truth, justice and righteousness.
From now on we must stop thinking like witless victims of jihad and believe in our hearts that we are the victors of this holy war in the name of God - not Allah.

I think your profiling proposal has merit.
We have to make sure we know who "we" are to survive.
As an aside, I know emergency measures often lead to government growth and excess. In fact, its this same arrogant and feckless use and waste of power by Clinton that has both made us hated and despised world wide as well as set the government against its citizens (BATF, IRS, EPA, Fish & Wildlife, etc.). But one battle at a time... If we don't protect ourselves against the external parasites, we won't get to deal with the internal ones.
1. Identify those countries that harbor or abet terrorists.
2. Require passports for all passengers on US flights or those headed for the US.
3. Do not allow ANY passengers (not matter who they are) from countries that are not with us in fighting terrorists.
4. Do not allow any Americans to travel to any of the terrorist countries or to have ANY financial or economic dealings with such countries or companies in them.
This will make it clear we are unwilling to allow such countries to be part of the civilized world.
Osama bin Laden and his gang of thugs have declared war on the U.S. His people almost invariably fit the profile.
Uscit, seems like we already have plenty of seething hatred within our borders without all the scary foreigners. Let me guess, you wish me dead for being such a traitor to your America for standing up for people WHO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
Well, at least now you are backing off your initial mockery toward profiling passengers and searching the belongings of Arab male non-citizens before letting them board. I'm glad you have come around to see the good sense of that.
Now you are going after my secondary point, about not letting Arab male non-citizens work in airports. First of all, I'm not sure if it is even possible for non-U.S. citizens to work in airport security or ground crews. But if it is, I question whether it is wise to have citizens from those countries whose people are known to comprise or support Osama bin Laden's organization--whether they should be allowed to be in such sensitive positions, in view of the current crisis.
Did Indonesia (over 50% Muslim) come out and CONGRATULATE Bin Laden today?
No. So quit your angel of death tactics.
I said no such thing. I specifically and repeatedly said, "non-citizens". And only those who come from countries known to supply Osama bin Laden with men. And, as far as being passengers, only to have their belongings searched before being allowed to board.
