I am sure you have all read those headlines this morning and I am not sure that it is Political.

I know this. This kind of thing scares me and makes me afraid of people with mid eastern sounding names. I know that is not politically correct, nor is it kind.

Please scroll all the way down.

Profiling is a legitimate tool to fight terrorism. Being an inanimate object, it can be used or abused, just like a weapon can.

I can imagine the laughs that terrorists get when they see the airport security frisking my 83 year old mother.

It is only a matter of time before another unthinkable event strikes an American entity.

Remember doing nothing is an aid to the enemy.

Profiling is a legitimate means to ferret out the potential dangers. Screw the invasion of privacy and special interest babbeling.

If you are a law abiding citizen you have nothing to fear.

What's right and what's wrong?
Gracie, I would trust your "common sense" over any pundit telling me that I shouldn't be wary of the Muslims. I make sure my doors are locked when I drive through certain non-Villages neighborhoods and I see no difference in this and the way you feel.
