Wow, you mean that 1 in a million slips through!
I think that is a better percentage than we are running right now!
Remember, racial profiling makes us predictable. Do we want the bad guys to be able to reliably predict our actions?
Well when 99.9% of Suicide Bombers and Terrorists are from the Middle East and Moslems, I don't think it would hurt to concentrate more on that ethnic and religious profile, but also random sampling and stress analysis, swab testing and having a dog standing by to sniff everyone else and running them all through the full body scanner, just to be safe! Maybe we can also make everyone strip and change into orange coveralls while we are at it, and no carry-on allowed! Yeah that's the ticket! Would want to make everyone fly nude now would we! Especially if they had to sit anywhere near me!
Suppose a group of terrorists shows up at a family's home in the middle of the night and forces one of the white middle-class parents to pack a bomb through security...
See?
An also remember, America has plenty of its own home-grown terrorists who have nothing to do with islam and who are happy to fly a plane into a building or park a truck bomb next to a day-care center.
There's still a middle class?
Did you fail to read the part about the full body scanners and no carry-on luggage? ALL luggage to go through the x-ray! Also someone in that situation would have trouble getting past trained observers looking for someone stressed out! What we should do is get rid of this stupid shit that does no good or really go whole hog about it! right now it is maximum inconvenience with little impact on actual safety!
All luggage should have been sent to explosive detection long ago and stress reactions can be suppressed with something as simple as a beta blocking heart pill.
But full body scanning is mostly BS, just a corporate money grab.
Well then, back to the Orange Coveralls, since you really don't want to sit next to me while I am nude!

Works, that is, for the other side.
