Changing the Profile of Profiling

Profiling potential airplane riders only makes sense if terrorists tend to be of the same gender and religion.  In addition, they’d largely have to hail from specific parts of the world for the policy to work.  Oh, right.  The decidedly politically incorrect truth about those who want to see blood flowing down American boulevards is [...]

Think Air Security’s a Joke? Get In Line

Sit straight.  Face forward.  Fold your hands.  No talking.  Stow you computer.  Go when you can, not when you have to.  Smile pleasantly, don’t get wise, and cede your armrest to your neighbor for the greater good.  Flying sucks, and the Obama administration’s response to the horrifying attempt by an incompetent clod to destroy an [...]

The Only Reason: Hasan Chose Evil

Wait: those we’re fighting in this Overseas Contingency Operation to prevent Man-Caused Disasters don’t represent Islam, right?  We’ve gone to great pains to establish the difference between good and naughty Muslims.  That’s even though the vile scum who belong to the latter group and are still thankfully rotting in Guantanamo get Korans, prayer beads, and [...]

I mean locking up our own border guards for shooting a drug dealer who fled from them after entering this country illegally (and no, there’s nothing “racist” about that — I don’t want an 80-year-old Canadian woman sneaking in here either). I mean bringing the lone pirate who survived the rescue of Capain Phillips to the United States for a trial instead of hanging him from the bow of the U.S.S. Bainbridge on the spot.
