Archie. Nice try but the fact is the system did not work before or after the event. I read an article this morning where the airline pilots association has complained that its pilots were not informed of the terrorist attempt on the Delta flight until long after their flights were completed. Janet Incompetano should be fired just like Brown was canned from FEMA after Katrina (yes, I know he "resigned" but we all know why).

I will repeat my earlier post about what is needed. In 2008 there were over 13,000,000 domestic airline flights and over 7,000 airplanes are in the air at any one time over the U.S. In 2005 airlines carried over 660,000,000 passengers in the U.S. alone. It is simply not possible to adequately screen 660 million passengers in a thorough way to avoid these events. What every single one of the alleged, convicted and successful terrorists have in common is they were all Muslim. We should start there. Then there are a number of other factors (age, birthplace, place of worship, travel history, etc.) that could further define enhanced screening. In essence, we need to profile and stop random screening of 80 year old Grandma's while worrying about offending twenty something Muslim men. I can assure you if all the terrorists were middle aged white males I would accept additional screening.

Political correctness is going to kill people....maybe someone you know and love. We have lost our ever loving minds in this country with this insanity. Profile now!
