I call that shoddy and lazy police work, along with being an antiquated racist idea.
If 99% of the recent terrorist actions were taken by the so called "American, white, Christian, Male", then yes profiling based upon that would make sense... Then again, the activities have been taken by Middle-Eastern, Young/Middle Aged, Muslim, Males -- so it only makes sense to look at this group closer.

Yikes!
We as Americans are so selfish. We want it all and we're willing to give up nothing to have it. Well we'll give up someone else's freedoms but not our own. What are we talking about here? Giving up your computer, ipod, bottle water, shampoo, time, etc in order to board a plane to go wherever you want whenever you want? Hike up your skirt and get over it! If you want security on the flight you're going to have to do your part instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.
Wow, so well put. =)
This goes along the lines of the typical American thinking of today. They want instant results, and do not want to wait for them. They believe the President should have been able to solve the "terrorist problem" in a year. Even funnier is the liberals who think the problem could have been solved in a year...via TALKING.
