A Revolutionary Idea

Via Protein Wisdom comes this link which suggests that the British might begin *gasp* profiling airline passengers.

The government is discussing with airport operators plans to introduce a screening system that allows security staff to focus on those passengers who pose the greatest risk.

The passenger-profiling technique involves selecting people who are behaving suspiciously, have an unusual travel pattern or, most controversially, have a certain ethnic or religious background.

We're not at war with the Swedish Bikini Team here. We know who wants to blow us up. We know who's calling for American's destruction. And just because the Left is more concerned with the FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS of those poor widdle misunderstood militants doesn't mean that we have to play by their rules. At this point, I don't give a shit if people get pissed off. My step-son got on a plane today to go home. Do you know how long my wife stood at the airport with him?

Three hours.

Three hours of security checks on a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, 12 year old boy, because gosh, we don't want to upset anybody! Three hours of security checks because the Left can't admit that there's a group of people who want us to all die, and they don't want us to search for that group.

Fuck that.

I say we need to buck up, grab our balls back, and profile the hell out of any non-American muslim. And if that pisses off muslims, too damn bad. Maybe when muslims stop trying to blow up Americans, we can treat them like regular people.
