Don't forget bizarre hispanic converts to islam. And of course, your old school American nutcases and deranged high school kids.

Obviously Arab men are the major terrorists of the moment, so it would be stupid to ignore them, but it would be stupid to ignore everyone else but them as well. I agree-everyone should be screened. If you want to travel, it's should become a permanent part of the process.

The point is that these idiots at the airports (presumably under W's directions) are searching everyone but the most likely candidates. Surely you have noticed that fact. I can't stand Gore, but even I know he wouldn't blow up or hijack a plane. They're merely checking a box on their little government checklists. Are ALL terrorists Arab men between 18-40? Of course not. However, you do have to admit that a disproportionate number of them are. All the ones who executed the 9/11 attacks fit that profile. And if you're still not sold, then how about we search anyone and everyone who gives off a "Muslim vibe." I'm certainly not against it, and it would expand to women and young people as well. That way we could cover our bases. Some would slip by, but not many. It's ridiculous to search a 15 year-old girl wearing skin-tight shorts and a tank-top for carrying weapons to hijack a plane.

This ridiculous farce of "search everyone" just to be fair has GOT to end.
