I see my sarcasm isnt getting through.

Your suggestion that Muslims should not be allowed onto planes is not only idiotic and unworkable, it is borderline racist.

I dont throw the word around lightly.

How exactly would you identify the people you wouldnt allow onto airplanes? I am guessing that John Walker would probably have managed to get through whatever criteria you have identified. An idea like that would inevitably lead to a second class of citizens.

After all, airplanes are only one target. Would you allow them to attend sporting events or concerts? Should they be allowed into malls? What jobs can they have?

Reasonable people can disagree on security measures....national ID cards, profiling, immigration measures etc.

Your idea goes far beyond the pale.
