What's a terrorist look like? Do you know? I don't. I would agree with you if there was some good description of what they look like. Since not all terrorists are not Muslim (remember Tim McVey) or young or old, it is rather hard to make a determination based on that. I agree that it is aggravating to be forced to submit to a search at my age, I understand that every so many passengers are searched and I tolerate it. It seems like nine out of ten time I go through the gate into an airport, I'm the right number to be searched. And, do you know, I would hate to see some of my Muslim friends be stopped and searched just because they look like Muslims.

No...
If the aiport security guards would only check people that comply with their image of muslim terrosrist, guess what the terrorists would do next. Maybe change their appereance?.. And anyway, there are nor only muslim terrorists. It;s more likely that they would do something that harms western people (like you). That's why your concerned about your safety. But what about muslims that are terrorized by other people... That's only how i see it...

What does a terrorist look like genius? Did the people who hijacked the planes on 9/11 look like Muslims going to pray in a mosque with their turbans on holding a qu'ran in their hand? No, they look like regular businessmen. How can you tell who a Muslim terrorist is? One of Al Quada's spokesmen is a white man from California in his twenties. Anyone one can be a Muslim terrorist or one of their sympathizers.

Great idea. But what does a terrorist look like?? How can you tell?
As for searching the old people, I agree. The only thing is that the old people won't raise hell with the people doing the searching. I think they enjoy the attention. But yeah, we should concentrate more on the younger aged people and the people over 70 should get a free ride.
Search them all.

How do you know what a terrorist looks like? they use children, women,anybody who wants to fight for their ignorant cause. Not all Muslims are of Arab descent. And not all Muslims are terrorists.

I agree with the above statement dumb ***. It is all about becoming complacent which is what started this mess in the first place. Get a clue. If you don't like it, drive instead of flying. It is here to stay and I hope they get even more invasive with the searches.

It's frightening the number of people going through our airports that look just like Timothy McVeigh.

No, Binkie it does not make sense. I look like an ax murderer on a good day, but I am the most honest of citizens. They will stop me while YOU get away!

You are just a hate-monger aren't you. Using logic and reason to make a valid, coherent point. That's not fair. (sarcasm)
Watch your back though. The Muslim people are a great and kind and peaceful people, who by the way, will cut your throat for making statements like that.
