When terrorists pop a nuke somewhere on a civilian target, there will be much wailing and hand wringing about why this was allowed to happen, why didn't someone do more to prevent it, etc.

Sort of like the lax airport security prior to 9/11. El Al security is, and always has been harsh, thorough, and they profile, but they have avoided hijackings despite being the most heavily targeted airline in the world.

The fact that Muslims and Arab men who meet the profile of the 9/11 hijackers get special screening bothers me not a whit. If it bothers them, let them get hold of terrorists in their communities, turn them in, and help stop the problem, rather than opposing the obvious solution.
