Ron Paul wants guns on airplanes, racial profiling for freedom

[Simfan34]

Next time, when terrorists shoot everyone first, guns will be so useful!

[url]Oh, and the idea of bullets flying in a compressed tube is such a good idea.

But bombs blowing up hidden in a terrorist bum is alot better right? Anyway, I think it would be best to let the airline companies decide what is allowed on flight. Giving pilots guns, at least, should be allowed. Same with pepper spray and tasers.

Pilots, sure, but the rest, no.

Why the hate on us statists?

I'm black and Catholic. Suppose I should prepare to be profiled.

If there needs to be profiling, it needs to be done in a rational fashion. So a Muslim dude who has lived here for less than 10 years and has managed to visit Yemen and Pakistan 7 times during that period even though he is from Egypt should obviously get pulled over for extra screening. Even if he is wearing a t-shirt with an American flag and shorts he should be screened. On the other hand a Bangladeshi or Indonesian couple, who are Muslims and dressed like it, but have lived in America for more than 30 years and only go back to the country of their origin, perhaps should not be.

Is this really possible though? Do you guys seriously think this can be implemented by either the TSA or the airlines? Are you sure we won't end up with a situation where Indian techies get held up for screening a gazillion times while the Chechnyan terrorist skates by?

An exception for olds is probably the way to go. I wouldn't give an exception for the young mainly because their parents could be terrorists who use their kids to get by security. They are f'ed up people, let's not forget.

How can we tell who is who?

A black Catholic Republican from New Jersey.  You're worth more than diamonds.

Whose parents are professors at NYU.

I'm fond of your positions.

Who is more likely to blow a plane? The Omani exchange student, or the 95 year old grandma from Indiana? Even if the Muslim in question is a loyal American, and even a military vetran, I rather see him be questioned then the Old White lady. Even though he will found perfectly innocent, we must remember Malik Nadal Hassan. It just makes more sense to do it this way.

Naturally, every damn Moslem must be automatically under suspicion. Guilty until proven innocent. Long live the freedom!

PROVEN INNOCENT? Don't try to humanize the Mohametans, they're automatically guilty!

Why racial profiling doesn't work.
