Now, now. Let's not "profile"......isn't that what the libs like to say? Maybe he was upset at something a filght attendant did. Or maybe he didn't like where he was seated. It must have been our fault. Extra screening? How about banning totally?
3 :
No, anyone but a Muslim!
4 :
Of course they should. Ain't going to happen in PC America though. We're too busy trying to convince everyone that Islam is a beautiful, peaceful faith.
5 :
It would be common sense. But common sense is not so common these days.

I heard he was a Republican Muslim.
8 :
no I think they should continue to hand search 89 yr old white granny in a wheelchair and let Akmed walk right on through.
9 :
no they should not be allowed at airports to start with
10 :
Yes, for the safety of the rest of the flying community.
11 :
and what about the christians that murder doctors and molest little kids? should we assume all christians are that way? This is a terrorist issue not a muslim one, stop dragging religon into it. EDIT: they were fireworks.. Good Lord get your facts straight..
12 :
*snort* big surprise. NOT. yes, they absolutely should be profiled and undergo extra screenings. i almost think they ought to be banned from flying.
13 :
Careful the liberals will take this as profiling and report you but yes it should be done

YEP...and it is funny...I was watching CNN on representatives in congress on Dec 5th and a MUSLIM was talking about how we are using being politically correct to disrupt their lives. We are not respecting them as individuals and appropriateness is not being addressed to them. RIGHT! What do you expect from having a MUSLIM leader that goes around the world kissing butt of other MUSLIMS and being disrespected by them...and then telling CHINA , KOREA and SAUDI ARABIA we are no longer a Christian Nation but a MUSLIM ONE! What do you expect when you get a leader that says in his book... 'Audacity of Hope', “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction what better place for the Muslins to control our country, than in the office of the President of USA.†What do you expect from a MUSLIM leader that gives TWO HIGH SECURITY JOBS in Homeland security to his SYRIAN Muslim friends...and who has a serial killer in his transition team in homeland security switched to FT HOOD? He won't do anything.....he WANTS THINGS TO HAPPEN NOW...so AMERICA will join him in fear to protect him....... It is the only thing that will save him. Dems are doomed. They are jumping ship like drowning rats....11senators are not running for re election and one jumped parties on Dec 22....and another is talking about it in Jan. COWARDS! Something is wrong when the dems are jumping ship! Lowest approval rating...senators jumping ship .....country in bad shape. THEY ARE NOT TELLING YOU EVERYTHING..... Oh...and as promised by the world..which bozo ignored FOUR TIMES....yesterday CHINA shut off the money machine...no more loans. We cannot be trusted! So that 1 billion dollars a day is going to HURT isn't it? Let's see how you handle the one truth bozo promised last year...the deepest double dip recession of all time this next year!

So what? Stalin, Hitler and Bush all were and are Christians. They killed tens of millions of people.
16 :
Yes, they should but we all know Obama wouldn't dare to offend his Muslim brothers. Obama would rather have grandma go through extra security.
17 :
PC police says don't be so hard on Obama's brother's. You wouldn't want to offend Obama's special people.
18 :
No. The only reason I disagree is because it will probably put in the minds of security guards that the only people they should worry about are Muslims and that they will generally ignore non-Muslims, creating a huge security risk.
19 :
Only if you fundies are not allowed near any health clinic that provides family planing services.
20 :
Most Muslims are not terrorists. But, most terrorists are Muslims. P.S. While Stalin, Hitler, and Bush may have been Christians (and in some cases, only nominally), they did not kill in the name of Christianity. The Muslim terrorists kill in the name of their religion.
21 :
Only if we put extra effort searching all rural whites for Meth, or scrutinize all Italians to better combat organized crime. Muslims come in all races from blond with blue eyes to nearly black skin and brown eyes. Unless they wear a T-shirt or sweatshirt that says "Muslim Bomber" how would anybody know any person was a muslim to be subject to extra screening? Did anybody know this terrorist was Muslim until he was caught? It is not be reported that anybody did. We have watch lists, we have screening officers, we have spies, counterintelligence, and spent billions of dollars spent on law enforcement technology. I would look into if we are making the best use of our resources. It is being reported that this individual was on a watch list and apparently there was a reason for security personnel to believe he was low risk. Obviously somebody made a mistake, and that should not happen again.
22 :
Yes, profile the heck out of them.
23 :
Forget the screenings, just ban muslims from flights altogether. They can ride a camel or a flying carpet.
24 :
yes but he was peaceful so it's ok according to Dems

One problem with profiling is it misses criticial. info. ISRAELIS TEACHING AMERICANS security, say not to profile. A prime example they give is, an Irish woman was stopped, questioned, & giving nervous clues. Turned out her Jordanian boyfriend had given her a package & told her not to open it. ...it was the self-opening kind, & thankfully security person hadn't been profiling. It can also mean extra embarassment & hassle for people who aren't involved in anything. You're not going to visually detect Muslims as much as "near & middle easterners." So some common sense needs to be used when looking at folks. Clues like reading faces while asking lots of questions before going any further in the hassling are the best safeguards.

No, just the terrorists.
