I wonder???? Does anyone want to speculate what group of individuals would be plotting to blow up a bunch of aircraft traveling from Great Britain to the United States???? The possibilities are endless and the choices so broad. I have mentioned just about all the groups I could think of.
Can anyone come with another group of individuals who execute and plan 99% of the terrorism (cowardism) that plagues the world???
I certainly hope the investigators do not target a specific ethnic background or members of a certain religion. The suicide bombers could be anyone, from any religion or ethnic group, it would be unfair to profile anyone and make security so much less efficient...
It's about time somebody said it. When do we put aside PC bullsh!t and do something that might actually strengthen security. Profiling is needed. There are many gaping holes in avaition security, but closing one of them would be a much-needed miracle. I hope (but I'm not counting on it) somebody at TSA/DHS will get off their @ss and start doing something to fix it.
