whether y'all like it or not, anyone who wants to fly will have a file with their risk assesment. This is a new policy for airports (I've read it on cnn.com about a week ago..I'll try to find an article on this). Apparantly, they will keep a record on you, and you are not allowed to see this "record" and challenge it if it contains any inaccuracies.

So basically, everyone will be profiled.


I find it ridiculous when people make comments like "they hate us and our freedoms" or better yet, "they hate america, and that means they hate me". Pick up a book, learn something, and then make an intelligent argument.

Terrorists aren't fond of America or Americans. I've picked up books, and read them. I suppose this is the time when you start justifying their violence. I'll wait and see how your argument develops.

I don't have any arguments. And when did I ever justify terrorist violence? What exactly are you getting at here?

I probably jumped the gun. It happens, sorry. Sometimes I read through a thread and am so pissed at the end that I jump all over the last person who posted something that rubs me the wrong way.
-At the time, I was expecting an argument of "they don't just hate our freedom, look at how we treat them, thats why they hate us..." or something along those lines.

I don't have any interest in learning about their culture. This is the United States of America and they should pick up a book and learn some American History.
