Sure, there are other 'terrorist' organizations in the world, but over 90% are Muslim and are focused on mindless, death-loving jihad. Combine the two thoughts, then: Airports should scan and search every Muslim, and randomly search everybody else. <br /><br />As for your statement that Simple Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33798224.post-22283799985945933562010-01-07T12:40:05.143-06:002010-01-07T12:40:05.143-06:00my argument is not that muslims aren't committ...my argument is not that muslims aren't committing these acts of terrorism. I am arguing that targeting them specifically is not "the best we can." as you put it. The tighter you squeeze your fist, the easier it is for the sand to slip through. <br /><br />likewise, targeting muslim groups makes it even easier for other non-jihadist groups to target the U.S. Just take a list of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33798224.post-83512273681220294582010-01-07T09:33:36.371-06:002010-01-07T09:33:36.371-06:00Random sampling is stupid, Mr. Anonymous.

Every single Muslim who ISN'T a jihadist should welcome the tighter screening, as it would reassure their fellow passengers that they don't pose a threat to safety. Of course the jihadists will continue to look for ways to bypass security, but it doesn't follow that we shouldSimple Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33798224.post-27380643794292571662010-01-06T23:26:54.967-06:002010-01-06T23:26:54.967-06:00profiling is one method to make you feel safer- bu...profiling is one method to make you feel safer- but it is really a false sense of security. Random sampling is likely a much better system. Similarly, If terrorists know what we look for, or what countries we screen- they will simply find ways to bypass it. <br /><br />http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/04/will-profiling-make-a-difference/?scp=1&sq=profiling&st=cse<br /><br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
