In the wake of preposterous naked body scans and borderline molestation pat-downs of innocent Americans in airports, I offer you a bit of common sense. Before you say the obvious and might I add complete cop-out statement “just deal with it and quit crying about it”, I would like to remind you that Americans were not the people who hijacked four planes on 9/11 and used them as weapons of mass destruction to kill thousands of innocents. WE were the victims on that day and we still are.
Welcome to America where if you’re a hardworking, tax-paying , law abiding citizen you are presumed guilty until proven innocent and where the terrorists are presumed innocent until proven guilty..and then are still considered innocent.
Welcome to America where you’re fired if you admit that you’re fearful when you see middle-eastern men board a plane and wonder if you need to call your mother and say goodbye…forever. There were plenty of people on 9/11 that never even had that luxury; they were obliterated and into eternity before they could even speak the word “Mother”.
I agree that our airlines need to be safer and that every precaution should be observed. But I also believe in using common sense techniques just as you would in any investigation. We are in a bad situation here in the states, we have an extremist group of people who will stop at nothing to destroy us and they do it all in the name of their “god”. But we have one thing going for us, we know where the enemy comes from and we know what they look like. Why in the name of all that is sentient would you ignore the one thing that can help you identify the enemy and stop them before they proceed with their dastardly deed?
The only conclusion that I can come to is that there are too many politically correct measures in place and too many panty-waisted men enforcing them. They do this all at our peril.
What do all of these men have in common?

These were the 19 hijackers who were involved in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. From the looks of it they are all from middle-eastern nations and I bet if their pictures were side by side you’d see an uncanny resemblance.
You can also go back 20 years and see that all attempted terrorist attacks on planes in America have been by men with these same startling similarities. It’s not Christian men or tea party activists or Grandmas on their way to Michigan for Thanksgiving pulling these stunts. It’s Muslim extremists and they must be stopped.
With this very valuable information in hand I know that we could do a much better job of stopping potential attacks by simply screening these types of people. It’s not racism, it’s a common sense solution to a very great problem. If you don’t want to racially profile anyone then put everyone through the same scrutiny at airports. Randomly picking people out of line to look at them naked or sexually molest them does nothing but punish the innocent even more.
As it stands, sweaty Arab men named Mohammed, Ahmed or any other name of that likeness are waived right on through while soccer moms are subject to unreasonable searches. We wouldn’t want the Muslim *extremists* to think we are singling them out or anything. The idea.
Another possible solution would be just to let all Muslim extremists fly together. They can even have their very own Muslim pilot and Muslim flight attendants. You wouldn’t even have to put restrooms on the planes! How environmentally friendly and thrifty! They wouldn’t know how to work a flush toilet anyway.
In the meantime, Americans, quit giving up every right you have and extending the olive branch. You’ll get smacked with it every time. You’re being slowly boiled in oil and you don’t even know it.

I’d never seen all those names lined up together before. It chills the blood. How ridiculous that we refuse to profile the very people we KNOW dream only of “Death to America.”
Comment by Jenny November 17, 2010 @ 10:00 amCouldn’t agree with you more. I have an acquaintance who works for the TSA, she went on a full-on rant the other day about how people are just paranoid, people shouldn’t listen to the “news”, everyone just wants to paint the TSA officers as perverts, people are just stupid and if they feel that way they “shouldn’t fly – it’s that simple.” Guess she forgot that some people are required to fly for their jobs, and some of us live on islands in Alaska where unless we want to pay twice the price and take a 3 day boat trip, we’d probably never see our families again.
I kept my mouth shut, simply because of that old “never argue with an idiot” adage, but boy I wanted to give her a nice big slice of reality. It’s sad when even the people who are supposed to be protecting us blindly defend the liberal agenda.
Comment by Angi November 17, 2010 @ 12:55 pm@ Jenny – Pretty chilling huh. People are just forgetting who it is that’s doing this to us. They need to be reminded.
@ Angi..oh I know. It’s no use trying to argue w/someone who refuses to see reality. It makes no sense to search innocent people and ignore the villains. It has ceased to be “racial profiling”. It’s called “a description of the suspect”.

Imagine what would happen if, say, Native Americans in the late 1800s started hijacking wagons, setting them on fire, and riding them into heavily-populated towns. Tensions are high and everyone is on the lookout for wagon hijackers. What do you think would’ve happened if our nation’s leaders of the day practiced this “no racial profiling!” tactic?
“Ma’am, ma’am, I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to pat you down and make sure you’re not carrying any bows and arrows. Ma’am, ma’am, I’m just doing my job. How should I know if you ‘look’ like a hijacker? That would be racial profiling, ma’am, and we don’t do that here. What’s that? Why am I strip searching you while letting that half-naked man carrying a bag of human scalps pass on through? Because we chose you at random, ma’am. It wouldn’t be fair to search that man…what did he say his name was…oh yes, ‘Chief Ten Bears’…just because he looks exactly like every single hijacker we’ve encountered thus far. What’s that, ma’am? Chief Ten Bears just hijacked a wagon behind me? Crap. Okay, get dressed, ma’am. And please spare me the ‘I told you so.’ There is no way this could have been prevented. You know, other than me using good judgment and common sense.”
