An Idea for Airport Security
Posted by Frank J. at 04:01 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (39)

Racial profiling is bad, but I have another idea for airport security. Why don't the airport screeners have a board up with pictures of the last ten identified terrorists. Then they can give extra screening to people who resembles those ten. That is, they'll not be looking for people of a certain race but instead people who look "terroristy." Maybe there will be nothing similar between the most recently identified terrorists, but then again maybe a shrewd screener will subconciously pick up on some similiarity between them -- something the concious eye might miss -- that he or she can use to identify other potential terrorists.

Since this won't involve race at all, I don't see why it would make anyone mad.

Except terrorists.

That would be bad, Frank, 'cause it would ignore the 80-year-old grandmothers and let them off the hook. Dangerous. They're bad, BAD!

[Who says it would exclude them? If they were some of the last ten terrorists, then they will be those pictured. -Ed.]

I don't think the dems would like that very much. Haven't you heard their new talking-point? They're now saying that terrorism is just another alternative lifestyle, and we shouldn't discriminate.

#2 - Posted by: juggernaut on January 31, 2008 04:18 PM

Maybe we should just make all terrorists carry terrorist IDs.

How anti-American! You can't post pictures of criminals in public, that might hurt their feelings and discriminate against them. You racist bigot! You probably hate terrorists don't you? Admit it!

#5 - Posted by: Bruce B on January 31, 2008 05:51 PM

i sure do love my mexican mug posted on airports

hell yeah great ad for ponchos & beans

#6 - Posted by: insaneclownRonPaulfan mexican terror on January 31, 2008 05:53 PM

If you have a problem with someone's race, you're a racist.

If you have a problem with gender, you're a sexist.

If you have a problem with age, you're an ageist.

If you're against terror? The terroristist? Either that or the terrorists are really a bunch of cowards.

#7 - Posted by: Apple P on January 31, 2008 05:55 PM

Easy fix... just post the photos in black and white, then have the Rev. Jackson come out and say how's there's not enough black in the photo, and then have Rev. Sharpton come out and say how there's too much black in the photos, and while
the MSM focues on how refreshing it is to see two black leaders in the public eye, the CIA/FBI/NSA can actually do their job.

#8 - Posted by: RedWhiteAndTrue on January 31, 2008 06:04 PM

I say post the pictures,and if someone looks like the pictures!!! Shoot first, ask questions later.....much later!!! Problem solved!!!!

#9 - Posted by: maytag on January 31, 2008 06:16 PM

What needs to be done for these poor, misunderstood homicidal 'splodey people is what has been done for other minority groups in America: They need their own cultural centers!

That's why I'm going to petition Bill Richardson, a "minority" himself, to help acquire funding for the 'Nat'l Hairy Swarthy Muslimy Peoples Cultural Center for the Elimination of the Jews and Their Great Satan Collaborators'.

Ask any progressive- it's a step in the right direction!

#10 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 31, 2008 06:34 PM

Great idea Alan, but just NIMBY. Lessen I can get snipers rights and shoot anything that moves furtively, witch would be anyone exiting the building.

#11 - Posted by: DohXs on January 31, 2008 07:23 PM

Witch....arggghhhh

#12 - Posted by: DohXs on January 31, 2008 07:25 PM

Hmmm...

"homicidal 'splodey people"

That's certainly a novel terminology.

I wonder who that will offend, and if they can get us to stop laughing long enough to notice?

#13 - Posted by: George on January 31, 2008 09:12 PM

Alan... they already have those 'cultural centers" there called convience stores.

The original post contained the words "shrewd screener"... no such animal exists.

#14 - Posted by: TerribleTroy on January 31, 2008 09:17 PM

They are too busy confiscating 4 oz. bottles of shampoo to notice.

#15 - Posted by: joe on January 31, 2008 09:34 PM

I'm all for it. As long as one of the wanted posters is Hillary.

She terrorizes the poop out of me!

#16 - Posted by: George on January 31, 2008 09:56 PM

Airport security sucks man. I hate that shit. Plus, even the CIA came out and said it would be impossible for terrorists to that liquid murder thing anyway. Run a search and you will see it was not possible to pull this off. It was all just a load of crap trumped up by the media who loves any kind of scary story. Stupid media. The media sucks and so does Bush. Right wingers suck too. Thank God you idiots got blown out in this election.

Hey the funny thing the "true conservatives" got their butts kicked before we even got to the actual election. A "true conservative" couldn't even win a single primary. That just shows you how much people dislike the far right in this country.

#17 - Posted by: MSanderson on January 31, 2008 10:41 PM

Oh man. Ms. Anderson is right! We're a bunch of jerks.

Thanks, Ms. Anderson. We're humbled by your indictment. BTW- which country were you referring to?

#18 - Posted by: AlanABQ on January 31, 2008 11:16 PM

I live in San Francisco. See, these people are average, normal Americans. Every normal American male strips down to a knit cap and boots and hugs the horn in front of hundreds of people. I mean, I do, and I'm normal.

And Santa Claus is also real. That it's my mom and dad who give me presents every Christmas is a right wing lie!

#19 - Posted by: MSanderson on January 31, 2008 11:49 PM

MCCAIN! IS! THE! ONLY! CONSERVATIVE! CANDIDATE! YA RLY!

And quit pointing out those pesky facts that say otherwise. He's conservative. Because I say so. Nyah.

Warning: Don't hit the link on 19

Its nasty

#21 - Posted by: on February 1, 2008 12:05 AM

i bet the guy who posted 19 has that as their background

But God forbid a kid in San Francisco sees an Armed Forces recruiting booth...

#23 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 1, 2008 12:53 AM

As for the subject of airport security - just make everyone kiss a pig before boarding, that's all. If the Muslims don't like it, they can get their own airline like the Jews...

#24 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 1, 2008 12:57 AM

Bunkerboy FTW! Best off the cuff response today.

#25 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 1, 2008 01:07 AM

Yes Frank, let the facts (photos) speak for themselves.


But don't accept the looney Left's premise that racism is involved. That's just their typical knee-jerk response to facts that don't fit their moonbat world view.


It's time to revisit the Quiz:

Please pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple-choice test.

The events are actual Events from history. They actually happened! Do you remember?

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we westerners never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!


Keep in mind three things:

1. Traveling through the Eastern hemisphere you can find Muslims of every race.

2. Most Muslims aren't terrorists and most terrorists are Muslims.

3. Don't call them violent, or they'll riot.

Correction: Bobby Kennedy was assassinated by a Palestinian Christian.

#27 - Posted by: Damian G. on February 1, 2008 03:41 AM

Even still, Rightjabs was way more accurate than just about anything that mainstream media outlets print as fact every day...

And then Damian corrected RJ with an accuracy update. If the MSM had just the two of you, they'd be light years ahead in genuine reporting than where they are now.

#28 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 1, 2008 05:46 AM

I like the current system where we are ALL assumed to be evil doers! It is especially effective here in Minnesota! It catches those blonde haired blue eyed bad guys every time!!!

#29 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 1, 2008 08:02 AM

Hey Rightjabs (post #26)

That......was.......awesome!!!

#30 - Posted by: Clay S. on February 1, 2008 10:19 AM

Do you guys remember the "Belt-Way Sniper"??

The cops and the "profilers" were looking for a middle aged white guy in a van. It turned out to be a couble black guys, muslim I think. Where was all the outrage about racially profiling white men? Why is it profiling when the suspect is white and racial profiling when the suspect is anything but? Racial Profiling works!! Most of the time when people are randomly shot on the highway, its done by a crazy white guy.....most of the time when a 7-11 is robbed, its done by a black guy.....anytime there is a school shooting, they are looking for some dork goth boys...... and every airplane that has ever been hi-jacked or blown up, with the exeception of 1 or 2, has been done at the hands of young muslim men. I'm heading to St. Croix on the 14th, I know who I'll be eyeballing if they're on the plane.

#31 - Posted by: Clay S. on February 1, 2008 10:30 AM

I love you guys (but not in the queer way).

#32 - Posted by: juggernaut on February 1, 2008 10:33 AM

I officially nominate Rightjabs for Post of the Day, for the efforts which produced post 26 above.

#33 - Posted by: BigJohn on February 1, 2008 11:12 AM

Addendum to post #26:

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, and to Damian G. for the correction, but I erred in not attributing "the Quiz" portion to someone else.

From "Please pause a moment..." to ..."people wake up!" is the work of an unknown (to me) blogosphere contributor. My apologies for the ommission.

Now blog on "treasonous, unfunny Ronin."

#34 - Posted by: Rightjabs on February 1, 2008 11:48 AM

Don't care. It was funny as hell, appropriate, and well delivered (with the one correction). My nomination stands.

#35 - Posted by: BigJohn on February 1, 2008 01:29 PM

Im pretty sure that quiz originated with coulter but im too lazy to check

#36 - Posted by: rast on February 1, 2008 03:11 PM

You know the answer to all those was The Smurfs! Papa Smurf led a cult! You're not fooling me!!

#37 - Posted by: Apple P on February 1, 2008 05:27 PM

Frank, that's the stupidest idea that you have come up with so far. Keep it up, you make me laugh!

#38 - Posted by: Little Green on February 2, 2008 01:05 AM

I think my idea was best: combine the US Postal Service with the Dept of Homeland Security...that way letter carriers can find them Mooslim ferriners when they are out delivering snail mail.
