I know the libs will squeal at this but mayube a little racial profiling

(apologies if Bubba Joe actually resides on this group).


Yup, racial profiling would have caught Timothy McVeigh and the
Unabomber. If you want to use terrorist profiling, fine, but concentrate
on racial profiling the true terrorists can slip through. Guys, like
this, for instance.

Given time, inginuity anyone can slip through. Given we don't have the
resources to pollygraph every flyer with an intensive background check, no
mater what one does it is going to boil down to getting most of them most
of the time.

Adam Yahiye Gadahn would have matched young male muslim/islam.

One Timothy McVeigh and how many muslim/islamic nut cases?
