Profiling? (Humor!!)

[Timebuilder]

Perhaps the best reasoning behind profiling is found in a question posed to a famous criminal:

"Why do you rob banks?" he was asked. "Because" he quipped "that's where the money is"!!

In other words, if you want to locate Muslim extremists, you have to begin by looking at those who could be those whom you seek.

Looking for a terrorist by checking your grandmother just makes our efforts appear to be retarded, ah,..... eh,... um,... developmentally challenged. (My brother fits that category, and I wouldn't want him to devise our security. Our present efforts certainly appear as though he was in charge, though).

The FAA "profiling" of a one way ticket is specious and silly. Millions of travellers have no need of a round trip ticket. Now, terrorists know to avoid buying a one way fare. What a surprise.

Waka, your a little off. Richard R. was and is an extremist Muslim. That is the whole point. Extremist Muslims between ages of 17-40 are most likely going to commit a terrorist activity, and of those extremist Muslims 17-40, they will be of Middle Eastern decent or associated in some way.

I know the subject of civil liberties has come up. The argument I hear is, by profiling this group, it infringes on their civil liberties. Well, what about my civil liberties and all the others who have a right to be safe. Don't we all have the right to feel safe when we go to the movie, store, mall, drink water from the tap, live near a power plant, work in a high rise, live in a large city, and not to mention, travel on an airliner? With that in mind, I don't believe sacrificing the liberties of millions who feel frightened in America should be discarded to appease the few who fit the profile. Remember, the innocent people of America, (no matter what color your skin is or religion you practice), didn't pick the profile, the terrorist did.

If profiling is done, it will, no doubted, reduce the odds of Middle Eastern Muslim extremist males 17-40 from successfully committing terrorism, if that is who commits terrorism If we start seeing blond hair blue eyed woman committing terrorism, then they should be profiled as well.

This issue isn't has difficult has the media makes it to be. You identify who has the motive and who has a pattern of committing these acts. Once identified, you go after that description. If the bank down the street was just robbed by a brown hair, white mail driving a red pick-up, do you stop red pick-ups that have a white male with brown hair in the vicinity, or do you let it go and stop the 16 year old girl driving the convertible Rabbit with the dog in the back seat? Common sense tells me, the red pick up. Yes, the one that fits the description/profile. In comparison, if Middle Eastern Muslim extremist males 17-20 have publicly announced to destroying America, (no matter how few), you must keep an eye out for them. There's nothing wrong with asking these folks a few extra questions. It should be understandable and not an outrage.

If we continue to ignore paraplegic red-haired Scandinavian grandmothers we are doomed.

Dude those underpants gnomes are pi$$ing me off too. Not only do they steal your shorts, but they keep singing that dang song that I can't get outta my head! "We are the underpants...."
