That is far too much level-headed logic than most of our small brains can grasp. Would you mind saying it once again, more slowly please, so that
EVERYONE can understand it?

He didn't do it with a plane, but he very well could have. He's pretty close to your description of people who shouldn't be profiled..should they? What about those kids who shoot up their schools, and malls? They're not necessarily arab. The mall shooter was white, the Vtech shooter was asian. The DC snipers were black. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it.
Profiling is wrong, it's useless, and it's incredibly insulting to those treated differently.

Although you have a good (but obvious) point, you seem to be way off topic. "Control of the airport" I think is the subject, yes? You seem to be talking about spotting terrorists by the colour of their skin, any minute of the day. This thread is discussing how to control terrorists who enter the U.S. from abroad. You've missed that point I think.
