I'm a Muslim and I don't see how it tramples on anyone's rights to be singled out for a search if it protects life. All of us profile ... I profile when I'm walking in 'certain neighborhoods' and I see four or five young men dressed in hoodies displaying gang colors ... I move to 'orange' alert especially since I have a CHL. Is this wrong?

But what I hear some saying is only profile the muslims and I think that would be ineffective. What I think we need is behavioral profiling. Keep the metal detectors take the scanners out and replace them with sniffers that can detect explosives. If any thing was to make it past that I don't think anything else could stop a threat.If a threat is not stopped before they get to the airport there is little chance anything at the airport would stop it.

no not that kind the boom kind. Yes the TSA has now said that they think terrorists will implant bombs to get through security. I can only imagine what the TSA checkpoints will look like now
