Profiling
Reader comment on item: Time to Profile Airline Passengers?
Submitted by tabingins911 (United States), Oct 7, 2007 at 19:00
The time for profiling is long overdue. To hell with political correctness. If you have been bitten by a black dog, why on earth would you go out looking for a white dog? The majority of terrorist attacks were commited by muslims, that is an undisputable fact. It's time for our political leaders to stop dancing around the issue and show real backbone and leadership.
