What if the TSA changed their policy? How would the Right Wing react?
   

Let's say that the TSA decided to subject blacks, Hispanics, foreigners, Arabs, Muslims and anyone who looked "scruffy" (i.e. not sufficiently professional and affluent) to rigorous screening.

And then imagine that the TSA also had a policy that would expeditiously and easily allow upper middle class white grandmothers, upper middle class yuppies, businessmen and suburbanite families traveling on a vacation to Disney World to quickly move about their business.

"You folks over in this line, and you other people in this other line over here".

Think about it, would we be hearing a peep of protest from our friends on the Right?

How about we just subject liberals to enhanced pat downs?
Liberals are known for their violent tendencies and, hatred of America.

I'd still be PO'd.

Consider: when Atta and Co when through  screening on The Day, they had to put their box cutters in the little tray before the magnetometer (trouble me not with requests for links; the surveillance video from Logan et al have been on the internet since 9/12/01).  If those had been prohibited items...I suspect they would have made other plans.

El Al "profiling" starts with everyone, and drills down to suspect behavior, without regard to race.  After all, they have experience with (among others) Baader-Meinhof-- and those guys (and gals) were the whitest people I've ever seen outside a mime school.

El Al doesn't rely on racial profiling, it would be difficult to differentiate between some Jewish people and some of the Muslims of various nationalities.

A very violent Communist group in Germany. Not a bad idea of subjecting leftists to enhanced pat downs. As I mentioned in the past, leftists are violent.
