As a follow up to the Annoyed Man's post, what about stopping someone for looking like a saudi or somali terrorist? Is it not time to take this war seriously? According to the news, the U. S. has known for years that cargo planes could be a target for terrorists. The recent toner cartridge matter is merely shedding light on something the federal government has known about for a long time, yet failed to take measures to stop. Israel's airline, El Al, is very successful in thwarting terrorism because it targets people (via intense interviewing and profiling), and not just items. It's high time that we took the war seriously, and threw out the political correctness that prevents us from defending ourselves. I'm talking about profiling terrorists and criminals. Not wholesale rounding up of populations (like the U. S. government did to Japanese Americans in WWII), but procedures modeled after those used by Israel to keep its airliners and airports safe. Let's get this Arizona styled bill passed as a first step, and go on from there to win the war. Damn the torpedos.
