Napolitano: The Ball's in My Court Now (Updated)

Ann Coulter  "It's similarly pointless to treat all Americans as if they're potential terrorists while trying to find and confiscate anything that could be used as a weapon. We can't search all passengers for explosives because Muslims stick explosives up their anuses. (Talk about jobs Americans just won't do.)

"You have to search for the terrorists.

"Fortunately, that's the one advantage we have in this war. In a lucky stroke, all the terrorists are swarthy, foreign-born, Muslim males. (Think: "Guys Madonna would date.")

"This would give us a major leg up -- if only the country weren't insane."

Boston Globe 2006: what israeli security could teach us "One agent will ask questions for a while, then a second will ask many of the same. The two will compare notes, and one or the other will ask a third batch of queries. This process often takes 20 minutes; it can take two hours.
"The idea is to turn up inconsistencies in a terrorist's made-up story (or at least rattle him into a panic) and also expose individuals who may be unknowing accomplices. In 1986, El Al security at London's Heathrow airport discovered a bomb sewn into the suitcase of an unwitting Irish woman after she revealed that she had had a romance with a Jordanian, who had bought her the bag."

Israeli Airport Security Measures  ""They probe, as one profiling supervisor told CBS, for “anything out of the ordinary, anything that does not fit.” Their questions can seem odd or intrusive. . . . Only when the profiler is satisfied that a passenger poses no risk is he or she allowed to proceed to the check-in counter. By that point, there is no need to make him remove his shoes, or to confiscate his bottle of water."

TSA 'groping' procedure a result of administration blindness to terror threat  "At long last, a newspaper editorial hits the nail on the head regarding the TSA's new groping polices: Stop humiliating innocent airline passengers and do what Israel's security-conscious El Al does -- profiling.
"The Washington Times makes this point in an editorial aptly titled "Obama's Hand in Your Crotch " "

The TSA Debacle "But what's even worse is the fact that Tyner looks like he walked out of a Rockwell painting titled "Johnny Goes to the Airport". My first reaction on seeing his picture was, "My God -- they busted Jimmy Stewart." This little fracas is over. All that Tyner has to do is step in front of the cameras, say "aw shucks" once or twice, and that's it."  Photo from Drudge
