In favor of ethnic/national profiling (Arab male non-citizens)

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.

We need to be careful with this middle east people who come into our great nation.Your ideas are just a start however I believe we need to close our borders to imigrantion or make it harder for criminals and other scumbags to enter this country.We need to be stricter or stop who comes into this country.Stop illegal lawbreaking scumbags from entering this great country before more innocent civilans are killed by this ruthless thugs.

"Get lost, traitor."

Hardly.

Thank god your not at the controls. Let's try and keep our heads level, before we bomb half the planet away....

You are suggesting that a number of American citizens be singled out on racial grounds, and be treated differently than other citizens. And who has the power to point the finger at a certain racial group? Congress? Nay, you suggest that the liberal media be granted such sweeping power. This is unabashed Naziism in its purest form.

Not only that, but what's to stop the Middle Eastern terrorist leaders from recruiting Caucasians once the Arab-looking guys are "profiled"?

I agree. I never bought into that "racial profiling is racism" cr*p in the first place. Sorry, the inconvenience/embarassment for a bunch of foreigners is nothing compared to preventing the butchery of tens of thousands of Americans.

I profile them when I see them. I see most of them just coming over here to steal our technology to use against us.

They get educated in tax supported colleges and universities and take the technology back to try and hurt us.

[TightSqueeze]

One way we can promote your idea of ethnic/national profiling at our airports is refuse to purchase tickets until this policy is adopted. You can rest assured that I will never set foot in an another airline terminal that employs non-US arabs / muslims.

Boycott all air travel while PC politics places multicultural BS above public safety.

Charles Henrickson said: "I am in favor of ethnic/national profiling at our airports" This is ridiculous. Racial profiling will not protect us from terrorist attacks, it will only heighten racism. This country already has enough bigots. Do not treat people as criminals until they actually commit a crime!

[JudyB1938]

Yes, it is too like me. When it comes to terrorists killing Americans, I become an "Old Testament Christian" right quick!

[JudyB1938]

It's people like you, traitor, who allowed this country to get to the point that the whole world laughs at our weaknesses, hates us, and KILLS AMERICAN CITIZENS.

"Libertarian" - Bull! America needs to tighten up and become the great nation it used to be, where no one DARED mess with us.

So you go sit on your big pacifist rear end. All that does is result in our country's destruction.

Furthermore, I stand by my remarks ... anybody who is willing to budge one inch on this is a TRAITOR! They are compatriots of none other than Jane Fonda!

[GHCubana]

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.

That's exactly what Cuban/Americans want regarding Cuba. I hope this incident opens the eyes of Americans that want to go to do bussiness with Castro one of the many friends of the Arab terrorists.

WAKE UP AMERICA

THE FRIENDS OF YOUR ENEMIES ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

ENFORCE THE EMBARGO AND TRAVEL RESTRICCIONS AGAINST THE TERRORIST GOVERNMENT OF FIDEL CASTRO.

[Blade]

Your proposal is quite sensible, given that Muslims living within our own borders were responsible for Tuesday's slaughter.

I for one am getting sick and damn tired of the people, many right here on this site, who are more concerned with being politically correct and not offending the sensibilities of these animals than with taking the steps to necessary to protect American lives.

Judy, Judy - why such intolerance? Libertarian has as much right to post as you do. Do you not agree??

I read a libertarian's remark on another thread. THAT libertarian is a true American and a fine example for others.

I HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR TRAITORS OR ANYONE WHO SPEAKS AGAINST THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEIR POLITICAL POSITION IS ON ISSUES OR WHAT PARTY THEY BELONG TO!

And yes, I am "screaming" that! I stand firm!

[Constitutional Patriot]

Here here.

[oldvike]

My sentiments exactly.

[Hacksaw]

Not only that, but what's to stop the Middle Eastern terrorist leaders from recruiting Caucasians once the Arab-looking guys are "profiled"?

They would have extremely limited success. I agree with this post.

Judy says: "I HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR TRAITORS OR ANYONE WHO SPEAKS AGAINST THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS, I DON'T CARE WHAT THEIR POLITICAL POSITION IS ON ISSUES OR WHAT PARTY THEY BELONG TO!" Intolerance breeds bigotry, pure and simple. Why is that so difficult to understand? Bigotry and intolerance caused the terrorist attacks. Again, not too hard to understand.
