"If terrorists learn that elderly white women from Iowa are exempt from screening, that’s exactly whom they will recruit." [How are Muslim terrorists going to recruit elderly Iowa women? That must seem plausible to NYers. ] Obviously, you have noticed the new Midtown Al Qaeda recruiting office at 49th & Lex? Very handy for those who need a room at the Waldorf while waiting on their suicide vests to be custom tailored.

Brumar, what a surprise that the NYTimes would be defending the TSA on this. If a Republican were president, they'd be complaining just as loudly as Mike Huckabee is. However, the NYTimes is correct in saying that the terrorists will recruit whoever doesn't fit the profile that the TSA is looking for. Maybe an elderly white woman could be the next shoebomber. You never know. Maybe there's wisdom in taking the war on terrorism to the Middle East. Either that or we'll just have to live with random acts of terrorism in crowded areas. Like Times Square or Grand Central Station. I'll bet some NYTimes employees go through there everyday. Maybe they're willing to be "vigilant" and look out for suspicious types hiding explosives underneath their coats. Tenchusatsu

I'm quite surprised that RW conservatives are now soft on terrorism.... Had the underwear bomber been successful, no one has a doubt what the RW's reaction....you guys are so phony.. Sooooooo........what would the tea baggers recommend for airline protection....only screen those with Muslim names?? That might fool you but no one else.... And all a terrorist needs to do is show up at airport looking like an old woman from Iowa? That sounds like a difficult assignment. What idiot's you are.... But the terrorists are not..... But I really want to hear your alternatives.....
