The overall absurdity of this thread just continues to prove the point that engaging in security theater and making everyone miserable doesn't work, wastes lots of time and $, and is inconveniencing the mass of travelers in order to not offend a tiny minority.
No-one has a RIGHT to get on an airplane (or to enter an airport, for that matter). While not all Muslim males aged 18-35 are suicidal terrorists, virtually ALL suicidal terrorists and airplane hijackers in the last 40 years have been Muslim males aged 18-35. Therefore, being a lot more stringent in screening Muslim males aged 18-35 is more likely to catch a would be terrorist than randomly selecting those to be more deeply screened. There should still be some random selection of the rest of the population, but, given the profile of the latest attacker, and the profiles of the 9-11 hijackers, just about everyone who fits the following profile: Male Muslim Devout Western Educated, especially in Engineering Should have a full body cavity search before being allowed on an airplane. If that offends them, then maybe they (and realistically, it is only the Islamic world that can end the scourge of Islamic terrorism) will do something about the funding of radicalizing Madrassas and firebrand clerics that are at the root of the whole problem. This "Equality and non-discrimination" garbage is ignoring the elephant in the room, and like the rest of the left's agenda, makes everyone equally miserable, without accomplishing its stated goal.
