I'm tired of hearing the old excuse 'Everyone is a potential terrorist, it's for your safety'.

What is frustrating is we are politically correcting ourselves into a police state. The Obama administration knows who the enemy is, but instead of profiling the most logical candidates flying (and kowtowing to CAIR), they pick on 95 yr old women and feel up young children.
My liberal wife is boycotting all airlines this year and letting them all know. Wouldn't it be cool if everyone didn't fly for a week?
Why is it overboard and irrational? A terrorist could take an elderly person who is baby sitting for her/his grandchild hostage and say, "we'll kill your grandchild if you don't wear this diaper and get on the plane." Terrorists will use any loophole in their random searches that the TSA allowed. That's not to say it should be done without giving the person in a diaper a degree of privacy in a private cubical and not do it standing in line for everyone to watch.
By this thinking they should have women remove their padded bras. Or platform heels as they can be hollowed out and a bomb placed in the heel or platform of the shoe. Or how about infant/baby toys..... Baby carriers
She should have just worn a burka to the airport.The gov idiots would have just waved her through as not to offend her. ever heard of them removing a burka even once? are dirty diapers more fun for them?

He cannot be for profiling now because he was against it when it came to gangs in Chicago said it would be misused.
The only thing is profiling has taken years to become valuable and they came to the conclusion that profiling works helps to catch criminals all the time since its conception.
Next time I have to fly I will be wearing an adult diaper ,but carry a spare and leave the origional as a tip so these freaks have something to play with on their break
If this is our response to the mere threat of an attack I would say the terrorists have succeeded in their quest to frighten America senseless. Indeed, as Frank Herbert said, "Fear is the mind killer." We have to learn just what is threatening us and how to counter that threat without creating a jobs program for our home grown terrorists and just frightening our selves while our enemies look on and laugh.
Americans collectively must be the stupidest people on earth. They are spoiled children who are squandering their own inheritance of freedom by being too ignorant to understand their rights and their relationship to government.
On the other hand, you cannot turn the reigns of power over to an ignorant population.
At this point, it seems as if the only logical course of action is a two-tiered population as they used to have in England, the rich, and the peasants.
