And if you are really a smart terrorist, willing to give your life, you
get a SAM and take out planes in a coordinated effort worldwide. I am
sure 20 hadjis could find a way to secure stingers and scope out the
best places to shoot down commercial jets simultaneously.

I think those who could possibly be terrorists should be searched. Do
you really think Teddy Kennedy, one of the most recognizable
politicians in the US should be delayed because his name is on "the
list"? An 18 month old not only was searched but kept from boarding
the plane because his name matched. Has any country, anwhere in the
world had an 80 year old woman carrying a bomb?
The answer is no. The suicide bombers in Isreal, Iraq, Ireland, Spain,
US, and everywhere else are late teen to early 30's men, and
occasionally women. Those are the bombers. Those are the people who
fit the profiles. Those are the people we should suspect. And yes,
sometimes you are suspected of being guilty until proven innocent.
Happens every day in our court system. People are accused, detained
and not innocent until the jury says so.
Profiling works very very well in many places. Virtually every
terrorist expert believes that profiling is necessary. That's exactly
what they do in old town Jerusalem. That's what they're doing in
Britain. The key is, you don't tell everybody what you're looking for.
When every oposing politician is demanding that you tell every move
you're going to make to the whole world, it doesn't work. When the
police are allowed to keep their secrets, then they stop many events.
If cockpit doors are the answer, and they have been installed, then
why are we still searching people? And who, who on earth thought that
they would fly the planes into the buildings? Hijack the planes?
Maybe. But nobody seriously thought they'd fly them into buildings.
