Once again, we Americans are ignorant Hilljacks when it comes to knowing anything about those trying to kill us and our views on racial profiling. Forget that Israel has one of the best airport security systems in the world, and it works largely due to profiling.

I wonder how much this woman receives in funding from CAIR, the brotherhood, or even the TSA? (not saying they're related, of course....just saying....)

Do a search on this woman and you’ll find how she is a muslim sympathizer. Wonder if she’s in the anti-semitic camp, as well?

Her examples of people who do not match the profile account for 1/10th of 1% of terrorist activity worldwide. Columbian rebels have not attached Americans as far as I can determine. All the rest of the terrorists on the planet, and especially those who target us, are Muslim and she knows this. I couldn’t care less about the feelings of American Muslims. I pretty much believe those two words are mutually exclusive anyway. You are one, or the other.

I know you had to ask, but, you had to ask?

The so-called Moderate Muslims ought to stand up and say "Profile me! Search me! I have nothing to hide! Jihadists give my religion a bad name! I support the war on terrorism! "

Instead, the so-called Moderate Muslims express exactly the view that I would expect a radical Islamic terrorist to express.

Conclusion: there are no moderate muslims.

commonly held assumptions about terrorism and stereotypes of terrorists are often incorrect

Maybe the people we pay to profile could be trained to use "correct" assumptions and stereotypes rather than "common" ones.
Unfortunately the people who'd currently be in charge of training think Christians (and maybe old people in diapers) are the primary threat so I guess training won't help.

Definitely is a supporter of the Palestinians and is pro-flotilla. If it walks like a duck...quacks like a duck....looks like a duck.........

The really frustrating part is that this article is from our Governmant’s Security News publication, which is written for those on the security side of the government.

We must remember that government security folks are not only not the sharpest knives in the drawer...they aren’t even knives.

Reason number 1 NOT to profile:
Profiling would make it so much harder for fun-loving Nigerians with no legitimate identification to travel across the country using other people's expired boarding passes.

Exactly....but our wonderful Congressional members have a different, albeit incorrect, opinion about these fine, upstanding citizens.

How many of the 9-11 hijackers were wearing Che Guevera tee shirts?

Profiling is just SO AWFUL

I mean if you want to find 18 to 40 year old muslim terrorists you just HAVE TO frisk everyone- not just 18-40 year old muslims, but grammas and babies too!

Because it would be JUST AWFUL not to. I mean it would be really really rude. And not nice. and they would not like us or anything.

Why not ask Israel what is “spot on?”

Apart from being unreliable, profiling alienates the very American Muslim communities that law enforcement counts on for terrorism tips and may well undermine counter-terrorism efforts at home.

Wow! Big falsehoods in one little sentence!

Unreliable? How are the Israelis doing? Or the Dutch for that matter?

Alienates Muslims? Why would this be, if they are the peace-loving lot that this guy seems to think is on our side? If everyone looked at me with suspicion because my people were hijacking airplanes and blowing up buildings, I would welcome special screening so that others would be assured that I was, in fact, harmless. Why would I cooperate less if I were interested restoring a good image for my people? I don't understand.

“Because it would be JUST AWFUL not to. I mean it would be really really rude. And not nice. and they would not like us or anything.”

I mean to offend someone who wants to kill all Americans, and already blew up a couple thousand innocent people would be a terrible terrible thing.
It may make one of the murdering terrorists feel uncomfortable of have an unpleasant feeling. Then Obama would have to go to their country of origin and kneel before their leader and give them a few billion of our dollars.

Shame on the mean old USA for trying to defend itself. We are supposed to roll over like a dead dog while muslim terrorists do whatever they like and Obama begs them for forgiveness.

Certainly, the oil producing countries will then give us free petroleum for the next couple of years because the president has made them love and respect us.

Handle American crime under the constitution. Handle Islamic terrorism under the patriot act.

Otherwise, if we are all to be treated as Islamic terrorists in a “war on terror”, we are a Nation living in a territory occupied by a government at war with us.

Homeland inSecurity has redefined the “war on Islamic terror” which was centrally to prevent Islamic terrorists from carrying out plots against the American people to a war on American citizens to prevent any crime they may commit.

They warped themselves against the people in the name of political correctness. If the US is to be at war with radical Islamists, it has to be at war equally with it’s own citizens and all crime must be equal to Islamic terrorism. No thanks. I don’t care to have a government that is at war against my country.
