Two days ago Janet Napolitano was answering questions at a press conference. There was a question asking her if there should be more common sense used in screening of airplane passengers. That maybe just maybe we should try and focus on Muslim men under 35... for instance.
I know what your thinking... that's racist... OK maybe you weren't thinking that, but she was. She sees this much different than most normal thinking people. She believes it is more likely that we will some how catch a terrorist easier if we watch their travel patterns... that a Muslim man under 35 has no real, "look" to him. You will notice that most of us are not even asking for Muslim women under 35 to be looked at, so it can't be racist. You see there is a certain number of people out there who think they know better than you and I, and that we should just sit down and shut up, and that our common sense solutions to major global problems are too simple and would never work. If she was so sure of that, she would not have said um or uh 31 times in the one minute and 27 seconds.
