It seems you are suggesting that every visitor to our nation should be accorded the same rights as our citizenry. I see no guarantee of such in our Constitution, and believe we have the right to examine the motives of any foreigner to visit the USA, and to deny entry to those who would do us harm.

I wasn't talking about visitors. I was talking about Arab citizens living inside the United States will most likely be striped searched at airports. While part of me says this is good (because it'll make the airports safer when i fly) another part says this is racial profiling. Unless racial profiling isn't illegal (and not against the Constitution), then i just hate to see our government go that route. I guess they could just strip search everyone.

by the way, i can't remember if it was you or not, but you felt new video technology should be put in airports. Well, that technology might work, i feel it'll basically just watch many innocent people who've done nothing wrong. The terrorists will find another way to enter this country..from mexico or canada or by boat. You can't stop them from just walking across the border.
