When 100% of your terrorists are mid-eastern males it's just dumb to be deep cavity-searching little old ladies from Pasadena that don't have the physical strength to take over a flight in the name of fair play. This kind of PC where everybody gets a lawyer prior to lengthy interrogation is going to result in another intelligence shortfall. Patrice Ford of the Portland Seven is, obviously, female. Richard Reid (aka the "shoe bomber") is apparently Sri Lankan or British. I don't consider Sri Lanka as a part of the Middle-East, but I am a bit geographically challenged. If you think Britain is in the Middle-East then you are more challenged than I am. Jose Padilla, as already mentioned is American. If the only people being searched were middle-eastern males, how long do you think it would take for Al-Qaeda to recruit, say, some blond, blue-eyed, Finnish female? How much strength does it take for the "little old lady from Pasadena" to attempt to smuggle aboard a bomb the size Richard Reid attempted to use? Frank Stutzman |

Her boyfriend, Nezar Hindawi, packed her bags, and included 7 lbs of explosives without telling her. Actually everybody, I was refering to the post 911 quagmire week where all the terrorists involved were mid-eastern males and the concern was that other sleepers were going to strike within days. The irony was that FAA security refused to profile anybody. It made sense to a lot of us that the Delta Captain threw off the SS passenger later because both: he was a mid-eastern male, and possessed improper paperwork. But that's a good point, race/immigrant background is not determinant. Now it appears to be more along the lines of converts of extreme religion. We need to be bugging mosques, not setting up more TFR's. (let me just get under this manhole cover here....) I should have said: When 100% of your [WTC] terrorists are mid-eastern males it's just dumb to : be deep cavity-searching little old ladies from Pasadena that don't : have the physical strength to take over a flight in the name of fair : play.

From:
Did I somehow get the syntax incorrect with the sarcasm off flag? Was there supposed to be an underline instead of a space or something? Actually there was a programming error on your part. You omitted the sarcasm on flag. If you omit either the sacrasm on flag or sarcasm off flag the result is a perpetual loop. See? I did pass COBOL in 1976. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |

wrote in message ... In article , Larry Smith says... "pacplyer" wrote in message . com... Larry, Larry, Larry, While I hate to agree with a guy who claims to have hardware in lunar and martian orbit, for example, who always posts in invisible ink,) It's Acme's Disappearing Reappearing ink, thank you. And the lunar stuff I designed isn't in orbit, it's on the surface. At least it's intact, unlike Larry's brain. BTW, did you and BWB go on vacation together? He stopped posting on Sept 28, you disappeared on Sept 29th. Then you started posting again with the new return address on Dec 19th, he came back on Dec 21. Your IP shows you're in the Direcway Southwest spot beam that covers Las Vegas. And you two are the only ones here that don't like Sydney. Are you two neighbors or something? And while a lot of the Patriot Act alarms me. It seems to me Larry, there was plenty of precedence Are you talking about "precedents"? No the Japanese internment was not precedent and every legal scholar in the country, including the courts, agrees that THAT was illegal and violated core mandates of the United States Constitution. It was really a hate reaction after Pearl Harbor. And what do the legal scholars say about Peter Burger and Herbert Haupt? American citizens, arrested on American soil, not having committed any crime on American soil, one executed and the other (who cooperated, and turned himself and his companions in) given 30 years by a military tribunal without independent legal representation? The Supreme Court upheld it in Ex parte Quirin. Or don't you like "that" SC? And the SC upheld Japanese internment in Korematsu v. Mott. Every legal scholar may not like it, it may be ugly law, but neither one was ever overturned. The law is what the SC says it is. That's our system. If the SC says that absolutely every aspect of our lives can be regulated by the Federal Government under the commerce clause, it is, as it has been for the last 70 years (though it looks like the 9th Circus is trying to put some limits on that. Now I can smoke weed and build a machine gun in the privacy of my own beadroom!). If the SC says there's a constitutional right to sodomy, or to unequal treatment by the government on the basis of race, there is. If the SC says you have to put underwear on your head, shove pencils up your nose and say "wabbel" - well, then you're all set, Larry. Your law, like your tech, is junk, nameless. I'll do us up a little memo of law showing how In re Quirin is not apt, although Bush is trying to rely on it. I have already reported that the federal courts are closing in on Bush and Ashcroft. You must have slept through the last 20 years, triple-ass. Kinda like a 20th century Rip Van Winkle. |
