The people that squeal for having to remove their shoes would really kick up sand if they had to undergo a legitimate interrogation prior to boarding.

We don't need to interrogate everyone, just those who have a high probability of being a threat. And that would be YMMs. Background check them, carefully search them and their belongings, and interrogate them before allowing them to board. Re-evaluate when War on Islamic Terror is over or if Islamic terror strategy changes.

I have a theory on the reluctance to profile.

First...what does a Middle Eastern male look like?

They can be all types of colors,...skin types...
some light, some dark, some may look like a black
American male.

Therein lies the problem.

If you think the likes of Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,Louis
Farrakhan are making noise now....imagine what will happen when they start pulling aside young American black males for
questioning before they board a plane.
