EXCELLENT. As an American, an American cognizant of the fact that the possibility of an airplane being taken over and slammed into a reactor somewhere on U.S. soil may be in the cards for us, im for whatever measures the government sees fit- they wanna strip me to my boxers in a side room- do it, they wanna check my shoes- do it- they wanna look into my background and see where ive been- do it, they wanna take a sample of my toothpaste to make sure theres no C4 in the tube- do it. You wanna give me a national identity card to carry with me at all times- do it. People are out there trying to kill us- us Americans- us christians, jews, blacks, lationos, chinese, muslims- it doesnt matter- if you live in america youre game. Bring it on, im willing to wait longer to board my flight to feel safe with my wife and baby and fellow americans on board. boblochry <boblochry@msn.com> wrote: For those on the list who were unenthusiastic about profiling - things may get worse. The Washington Post is reporting that the government and the airlines are developing a vast air security screening system designed to instantly pull together every passenger's travel history and living arrangements, plus a wealth of other personal and demographic information. Delta and Northwest Airlines have acknowledged that they are talking with other airlines about a similar screening system. Joseph Del Balzo, a former acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration and a security consultant working on one of the profiling projects was quoted as saying "...is based on transaction analysis, behavior analysis, gives us a pretty good idea of what's going on in a person's mind." A penny for your thoughts? The American Civil Liberties Union had a few quotes of their own: "It really is a profound step for the government to be conducting background checks on a large percentage of Americans."
