That's not to say we shouldn't profile based on behavior, but not on ethnicity or religion.

To sacrifice our freedom is like handing Bin Laden another win...we can't do it...we must stay true to what makes America the best place on Earth.

Well, when you fly, you can take nice long looks at 90 year old grandmothers if it makes ya feel all warm an fuzzy inside. But me, i'm taking a close look at all middle eastern folks that may be boarding my flight. Who in thier right mind wouldn't? Oh wait, Spence wouldn't, because he's better than the rest of us, and he as all the solutions to the worlds problems, how soon i forget.

In the words of country group Montgomery Gentry...."You do your thing, I'll do mine"

Yea, America was built on fear...keep being afraid and see where it gets ya...

Perhaps you can get a few Arab Americans thrown off your plane because you don't like how they look...

Now that would be success in the war on terror!

Next time a middle eastern dude blows up an airliner,trian, or suicide bombs your local mall, maybe you'll reconsider. And yes, sadly i believe these kinds of attcks will come at some point. But you still won't admit who the enemy is and where he comes from and what he looks like. Why you cant do this is beyond me. Its right in front of you, but you just cant admit who the likely terror suspects looks like. typical liberal touchy feely bull%$%$%$%$!

Please tell us Spence, if we can't profile and take a look at any Middle eastern folks boarding Jets for fear we might offend them. What is your brilliant plan to screen people who fit a certain profile of a likely terror suspect? Just let em all through gates and keep our fingers crossed!? Now thats a great plan ya got there!!

Dude, join reality will ya!

Now there is the fear mongering. You are AFRAID of being labeled racist for profiling arab terrorists. In reality, that is not racist. Just like the author above states, we need to be united and willing to give up some of our "rights" to win this war. I'd give up this right in a heartbeat.

If you asked 100 Americans if they were willing to give up the right to only pull old ladys and chlidren out of the security line for a thorough frisking, I think we all know how 99 will vote.

Nonsense...you're simply attempting to use my words against me.

There's reasonable profiling and unreasonable profiling...I'm not afraid of being labeled anything.

But if the American people want to be afraid of Arabs then we should amend our founding documents, last time I checked they said something about eveyone being created equal
