well, yesterday at 5:05PM I predicted that someone with clout would soon be promoting serious profiling...today at 4PM, on MSNBC, one of their major anchors, Tucker Carlson, did PRECISELY that.

He had a spokesman for a US Muslim organization on, asking him why we shouldn't be specifically watching for young Muslim men, rather than "little old Black ladies in wheelchairs" and other clearly non-threatening travelers.

He got, of course, the usual "we must remember what the basic principles this country stands for, and that the best defense against terrorism is developing a good dialogue, so that Muslims feel safe in their Mosques and....." the usual suggestion that "it ain't fair to pick on us". When Carlson tried to pin him down about how almost EVERY terrorist identified in the last few years WAS a young Muslim, he got evasive answers and red herrings.

(Carlson was very careful to agree and admit that MOST Muslims do not commit these acts, and that much care needed to be taken...he just kept asking why we are working so hard to be PC, when 99+% of airline passengers DO NOT FIT the profile of hijackers & bombers!)

There were no good answers forthcoming...
