Your reading understanding is truely unique. Re-read the rest of that American newspaper article. (probably better for you to to go off and find one of the recent interviews on American TV with ex-El Al security people). Yes, of course they use profiling, but it's much more than only names, or specifically names. You do realize I would guess (as does El Al) that if you profile based only on names, all terrorists have to do is ... use an alias. It's the sophistication of their questioning that is most important.

Yes, Dell, I am all in favor of profiling terrorists. There isn't much point to profiling "Muslims"

read again and FOCUS....."and extremely high-risk travelers (anyone with an Arabic name). "

OK I should have used ALL who have arabic names as opposed to Muslims. Cause Muhamad Al Kalim the Christian should be included as well. So let's leave the word MUSLIM off the table and instead insert ARABIC. I'm good with that. Barack Obama could be one of those names LOL

Who do you think is going to be targeted by security right now? Some guy out of Saudi, or Yemen?

apparantly 5 yr old white boys, nuns and guys who want their junk left alone. In another words by lottery. TSA needs to be privately run and we'd be 100X better tommorow.

Of course I realize I'm trying to explain this to a woman who still supports the USPO. ie. a kitchen table

Nobody mentioned white children and nuns. Are you simply incapable of talking about national security concerns in any context or depth other than, "I hate me some Muslims!"?
