haha, this is what you have to offer as a response. anyway, again you're completely one dimensional. to you, pro-Israeli means pro-Zionism, am I right? "pro-Israeli" means "support Israel's complete destruction of Palestine" at all costs. No, actually. If you look at it from a strategic point of view, Israel's current path is headed towards destruction and is not beneficial to Israel whatsoever. All I argue and defend regarding that issue I also take into account the concerns of Israeli Jews and try for what is the most just solution for both people. And the solution I defend, I believe does that, and we could talk about this all day. way to shift off topic though

How would you secure our airports?

Hard to tell if it was random or if he was profiled.
Here are my thoughts on profiling at airports:
I hope the FAA has compiled a huge database that takes into account patterns that captured terrorists have followed. It should take into account age, race, gender, criminal history, flight history and length of stay, country of origin, favorite color, pet's names, etc. If you happen to have a profile that closely resembles what is in this database (not just race, I'm talking 50% or more matching attributes), then be prepared for a secondary inspection. I don't think a plan like this is unreasonable. I'd even be willing to take race out of the database as a concession.
Combine this with the random searches and it will only be beneficial to making air travel more safe.
I absolutely agree with this.
We should get to a point where the secondary inspections are not random at all but rather based upon tangible information and patterns. If those include country of origin, than so be it.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

I'm not a security expert, but I never said your idea which suggested complete random searches (except for elderly and such) was a bad idea. This discussion however is focused solely on racial profiling, which is completely unconstitutional. I know you weren't supporting it per se, I was responding to another part of your post, not the 'how do we secure our airports' discussion, although i would still argue that not only is racial profiling unconstitutional, it does not necessarily increase our security.
just out of curiosity how is the airport check racial profiling ? if you wanted a apple would you pick it from a orange tree ? .....old chinese proverb I just made up
oh yeah... I forgot about all of your equal amounts of Pro-Israeli arguements in those zillions of Israel/Palestine debates you post here.
My bad.
i know that this wasn't posted to me but i'm going to answer with my thoughts.
it's pretty hard to for me to come up with any Pro-Israel arguments when i am talking about a country that is founded on a racist ideology, is backed by the most powerful military in the history of the world (the US), has some of the most sophisticated weaponry in the world at it''s disposal and uses it without mercy against the Palestinians, is constantly and illegally expanding its territory at the expense of the Palestinian people, thinks they have the right to imprison an entire population of people based on the actions of a few, violates the Palestinians basic rights every single day, builds illegal separation walls and isolates communities, thinks they are above demands of international law and of common humanity, and most repulsively trys to justify its selfish and brutal actions by portraying itself as the victim and pretending like they've done everything they can and have no idea why there is violence. just to name a few.......
i don't think there is anyone here who does not want to see a peaceful solution. it's how that peaceful solution should come about is what a lot of the posts are centred around and that's where there is much disagreeance. i mean if it makes you happy, i could start a thread about how the weather is pretty damn nice in Israel i guess, but that's pretty insignificant when you look at the big picture isn't is Cosmo.
