I agree and my skin color is the same as the terrorists. A thorough examination of all suspects is as much for my own safety as for anyone elses. We can't afford to be PC right now. We can kiss and makeup later. To show that we are not offended for being stopped just because of the color of our skin, when travelling in America an Indian actor carries press clippings with him to show authorities he is a famous movie star and not a terrorist.<ggg> We who are the same color as the terrorists have a good sense of humor about it ... you should too. The people that are offended probably have something to hide or an attitude problem. Just don't start throwing eggs at us for no good reason ... we're bound to call the cops.<ggg> Lola:)

Hello Lorne--That is an issue and an out of control issue at that.I like you and Lola and many other people that live here and are citizens of this country are blessed for the freedom we have.I also believe it is time for this country to start controlling our borders and beef up the security for the safety of the citizens.One of the few jobs this government has really. In fact living free as we do is a testament to the success of America.And it easy for all to understand why people would risk their life to swim a river get on a raft get in a trunk to live in this country-FREEDOM. My confidence in our government would be stronger if more questions were asked of possible lawbreakers or terrorists and knowing that it is a safety issue and what is a few moments of someone's time that has left whatever gawdforsaken government. A review and possible adjustment of our laws is at hand. . . "The glistening hope of that lamp is still ours. Every promise, every opportunity is still golden in this land. And through that golden door our children can walk into tomorrow with the knowledge that no one can be denied the promise that is America." Ronald Reagan . . hoping for a better tomorrow Dennis
