Interesting technique. Perhaps TSA should keep a supply of hospital
gowns to cover naked terrorists rampaging about the airport.

If we profile young Arab males, the next attack will be from
an older German female.

This assumes equal willingness of young Arab males and older German
females to be mass murderers.

There are =so= many ways around profiling, and if you
think Osama hasn't thought of this, you underestimate him and his ilk.

I don't want to be an apologist for TSA or any other government agency
but how do you explain the fact that despite numerous attempts the
terrorists have been unable to kill anyone else in this country since 9/11?

Either Osama and Al Queda don't deserve their Allah like reputation or
TSA & the rest of DHS have been effective.

Our economy is doing extremely well; the envy of Europe in fact and we
survived more draconian restrictions and minor personal inconveniences
during WWII.

We are winning and will prevail despite whiners and Chicken Littles.
