One of the problems with profiling is that many other ethnic types resemble the suspected class. I mean how would you like it if you were Italian and at the airport someone accused you of being a Norwegian? Plus, most of the screeners hired after 9/11 fit the profile more than the passengers. Still, I think you do have a good point.

Do you think there is any credence in August 22 2006 being a potential problem for us? I'm beginning to think that way, because the Iranian President will lose so much face (and that seems to be important to him/them) if nothing does happen. Have you read the 1999 Report to the US House on North Korea that I've mentioned several times....? It certainly does talk about all the "hot spots" of today, and was a brief for the previous 5 years, as well as an advance prediction for the next 5 years. Message 18066513 and yet another: Message 17930902 This situation really is WAY beyond politics, IMO. We have all wanted to deny, or ignore it, for a very long time. To continue to do so, puts us in far greater risk, again, IMO.
