Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
One more terrorist attack in America and "profiling" will be the least of their worries.

For sure. One more 9/11 and it will get ugly. And a dysfunctional government can only blame itself for its own failures.
Profiling is just that...looking at a profile of a person. The persons appearance is one component of a profile i.e. color of skin, gender, age, ethnic traits etc. Profiling has been used successfully for years to target criminals especially drug "mules" and dealers. To not use profiling is akin to covering your ears and saying "I can't here you".
If people get killed because our "leaders" forced are LE to cover their ears, these "leaders" will be complicit in their deaths.

The whole imam thing was a setup. They deliberately acted suspiciously on that flight for some unknown reason.
Did they want to be thrown off? Probably. The big question is WHY.
How do you tell an Arab from an Italian, a Greek or a Persian?
Exactly..
Surely someone could manufacture a prayer-mat lined catapult?
What I would like to see is all airlines adopt the policy that if anyone - no matter the race, sex, or religious belief - is removed from a plane due to a disturbance they caused, they are never again allowed to fly on that airline.
What does this part even mean?
FReeper please. Should that happen, the media will be calling it an isolated incident and we just need to "understand" why muslims want to kill Americans. And it is likely the moslems will wait until the new Dem president (Hillary) is elected in '08 which will mean there will be a summit and France will get to weigh in on what the U.S. response should be when the next American-soil attack occurs.
Sure, and if a Klan member is wearing a hood and robe your profiling works like a charm. If he's wearing blue jeans and a tee shirt you can't pick him out from everyone else. So how do you profile Muslims? They don't walk around with a big M tatooed on their forehead. What't the alteternative? Make every passenger eat a porkchop? Strip search everyone who isn't blond haired and blue eyed? How exactly would Coulter profile?
While America Slept. Please stop linking to sources for her column other than www.anncoulter.com. Everyone else edits her and changes her wonderfully amusing title. The title for this one on Human Events BLOWS. The real title is 'Coulter Gets Results!'
Absolutely, they should be profiling Arabs, and anybody who has advocated violence against Americans or US government officials (oops, that includes Ann Coulter).
I declare a fataw on the six imans. Open season on all six. This is a test of our resolve. Wipe them out...

Profiling needs to be done.
But this thing that they did on the plane was for one reason: to give the newly-elected jihadist-sympathizer reason to introduce legislation to prohibit the exact kind of profiling that needs to be done.
