Janet Napolitano: Using Common Sense And Concentrating Terrorist Screening Efforts on Muslim Men Under 35 is Not Good Logic

Dumbest thing I’ve read this morning.
Its NOT???
So we should be concentrating on the Amish and grandmas in wheelchairs?
THATS a common sense approach????
What an idiot.
Fredo Napolitano
I found it hard to believe they were actually target grandmas in wheelchairs until I saw it for myself at Denver International.
They had to use 2 agents to hold the poor woman’s arms up in the full body scanner.
BTW: she was in an airport wheelchair.
She’s right. We should concentrate on ALL Mohammadans, regardless of age or gender.
going on three years since i stepped on a plane...
First Dept. to abolish after the election.
Idiot, maybe, but she's still able to do the bidding of her master(s).
Mr. niteowl77
"Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential (Obama) Transition"
And we all put up with it.
Maybe WE are the idiots.
We cede our power to people like her and her ilk.
For what?
This is technically true, since profiling that narrowly would only push any terrorist cells to find someone outside that group. However, in a more general sense, profiling is exactly what any good security arrangement *should* do. You waste time if you’re focusing on threats that don’t represent significant risks. No security environment can be totally secure; it’s all a matter of risk management. Looked at from that perspective, the government is saying that it’s ok that terrorists get through the screens all the time, because they don’t consider the risk (civilian deaths) to be unacceptable.

Imam Obama and his administration are evil: ministers of darkness appearing as angels of light, wolves masquerading as sheep with designs on destroying our once great nation from within. ALL of their policies are ultimately designed to bring us to our knees, and open us up to attack by our enemies within and without.
Oh, and also, unfortunately, the “swarthy, middle-eastern type” muslim is no longer the only threat, since muslims of all ethnic backgrounds are being radicalized, and they’re difficult to detect in airport screening lines. Bruce Schneier has touched repeatedly on this; screening at airports is not the place to try to detect radicals or threats to airliners; that should be done a few steps further up the line, before they ever get to the airport. Screen for legitimate weapons, yes, and maybe find better ways to do so, but ultimately that’s a last resort. I don’t think a single threat to airliners has been stopped at the airport screen.
Liberals don’t understand common sense because none of them have it.
I got in hot water for helping an elderly man who could not reach his feet to get his shoes back on and pack up his walker so he could get to his plane. He was crying.
They told me to stay out of the area, that they would help him, but they didn’t so I went in anyway and helped him. This fat hog yelled at me while I put his shoes on.
Makes perfect sense if the objective is to not alienate a reliable source of votes. You don't have anything to lose if you piss off people who weren't going to vote for you anyway.
