Well, the horrific attempted Christmas day jihadi attack clearly shows current security procedures that are rigorous only in their PC-craptitude are not failsafe in keeping people alive. If the guy, perhaps tranquilized to be calm, had been more competent he would have gone into the bathroom when the plane was over the Atlantic to perpetuate his diabolical deed."I said to myself, 'If this guy doesn't look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does.' Then I gave myself a mental slap, because in this day and age, it's not nice to say things like this," Tuohey told the Maine Sunday Telegram. "You've checked in hundreds of Arabs and Hindus and Sikhs, and you've never done that. I felt kind of embarrassed."
One word, gubmit: profile. Just a little. It means backing off the usual suspects the PC crowd likes to demonize--white men--and practice some down and dirty "people of color" targeting. Won't happen, though. It'll take something really big for the stupid PC mask to be taken off.
We'll know they're really serious if they do this: curtail or stop all Muslim travel and immigration into this country. It can and should be done, America. But instead we'll have sub-100 IQ guys and gals making McDonald's wages oogling at the body scan images of comely travelers that will almost certainly result in response to this attack.

It doesn't have to be this way. We're not trapped. We have a choice. Sixty years ago, there were no Muslims in the West. All we have to do, then, is ... TURN BACK THE CLOCK.
Impossible, you say? It's not impossible. We just stop letting Muslims into the West, and we tell the ones who are already here that they're not welcome. And if they don't leave voluntarily, through a combination of carrots and sticks, then we make them leave. Not because we hate them as individuals, but because, given that their religion commands them to subvert, subjugate, and kill us, the ONLY way that we can be safe and free is if they're not here.
The liberals and "conservatives" will shriek that to exclude Muslims will make us racist and evil, it will make us "as immoral as the terrorists," as the editor of a conservative magazine once said to me.
Not so. To quote Bob Dylan:
You will not die
It's not poison.
Calling a Muslim from Nigeria whose father had reached out to the Americans to warn us of his son's extreme views--a lot like the brother of the unabomber reaching out to the FBI after his brother's anonymous manifesto was published--merely a "On September 11th 2001, the government's (1970s) security procedures all failed, and the only good news of the day came from self-reliant citizens (on Flight 93) using their own wits and a willingness to act.
On December 25th 2009, the government's (post-9/11) security procedures all failed, and the only good news came once again from alert individuals.
Are heads going to roll for allowing an outspoken jihadi whose own family reached out to warn us? Nope. We live in a culture where no one takes responsibility. No Trumans with the "buck stops here."
But we'll go after grandmothers, ask everyone to take off his shoes, and more closely search people based on mathematic formulae.
What would the Israelis do? Certainly not classify such a person as a "London student" who's a Muslim from Nigeria openly espousing jihadist views. How about this radical concept: ban Muslim immigration and travel into this country? But currently we fast track Saudi Arabian student visas. It may come to this if our enemies can recruit non-idiots to blow up planes.
Nicholas Stix's sarcasm is justified: "Feds Ignore Warning by Moslem Terrorist's Father; Obama: It's All Good."
Curiously, though, the image of a quasi Muslim--as under Muslim law he is being born to a Muslim father-- Third World-born figure (that's how many in Kenya view him) President we have may be acting as a disincentive for would-be jihadis, who have turned to the disturbing practice of placing explosives inside the body, behind the hemorrhoids. Yeah, I'm talking butt bombs.
I'd like to see a guy check me for that. I'd put all those pushups I do on an almost daily basis to good work. (After reading G. Gordon Liddy's Will, I've emulated him by doing at least 50 a day.)
Maybe Muslims aren't angry with an apostate (Obama), thinking he's practicing "protection" or taqiyya, where one can be a big-time liar.
