I'm pretty certain Bubba outnumbers Al Habib by a bit. Let's round up all the rednecks and ship them to camp X-Ray! Woo! And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see/With every prison blown to dust, my enemies walk free/Though all the kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea/ I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

But, if I can readily and certainly identify someone who might be a danger by his citizenship and ethnic group, why should I not use the information? Anyone who is a citizen of Saudi Arabia and who wants to board a US jetliner should be all but turned inside out before hand. I'd even restrict their flight options to a few routes at specific times. I'd make no attempt to accomodate them or make them feel good. The message should be - you're from a place that we just can't trust - live with it or go home and make it trustworthy. "To all our Semitic customers: We're sorry for the inconvenience - why not go home, clean up your millenium-old disputes, act like civilized adults, and then we can dispense with this unpleasantness? Whaddya say?"

This should remain a common sense decision based on intuitive factors and basic sane assumptions about who would be up to no good. I think I'd let dogs pick out the bad guys at the gate. I'm not so much interested in who is doing what, as I am in seeing that Justice and Common Sense go hand in hand. One of my assumptions is that a just country is a secure country, because it need not be embarrased by its ideals. -drl
