#1 This is going to have the opposite effect intended. If we feel that our government is STILL hampered in it's ability to screen out terrorists, it is just going to make the American population as a whole, more suspicious of Arabs.

While it may make it easier for non-terrorist Muslims to board planes without hassle, they are going to go down right along with us if a terrorist gets on board.

If it happens again, our Arab neighbors are going to find the pendulum quickly swinging much further than it has to date.

#2 I am so, so glad I stopped flying as of 9/11/2001. By the way, whatever happened to arming the pilots & co-pilots? The DOT has pretty much stopped that Congress-mandated process dead in its tracks.
