Terrorist Haven Nations Object to Increased Airline Security

You think? Amazing to think that countries like Saudi Arabia (home to 19 of the 9/11 hijackers), Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and another 9 known terrorist hotspots would object to more stringent security measures for entry onto aircraft flying to the United States. Portrayed as racial profiling and not a realistic cure to identifying potential terrorists, one has to wonder how long it will take the Obama administration to relax those new rules. C’mon, the collective stupidity of our nation’s struggle with political correctness at the expense of our national security is mind-boggling and nearly suicidal. I have great distain for the current US administration however, this increased security on countries where terrorist factions reside just makes sense. If middle-eastern muslims are attacking your country, it only makes sense to focus the attention of your security efforts to counter the actions of middle eastern muslims. What is stupid is pretending that we’re being “fair” or that because we also check the 86 year old Japanese grandmother in a wheelchair, we’re “diverse” in our security activities. Screw that, profile, profile, profile. Political correctness pales to insignificance when compared to national security. I, nor the vast majority of American’s could give a rats ass about what any of those nations currently say about our security measures. But Mark my word, I’m willing to take bets that the Obama administration caves on this quickly. – CA, MSgt, USAF (Ret)
