Is privacy for ALL really less important that not profile a few?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091231/ap_on_bi_ge/us...

There is a definite profile that the vast, vast majority of terrorists (world-wide) fit. How is it that the rights of people that fall into that profile is so overwhelmingly more important than the very personal privacy of everyone that full body scans are seen as a better alternative than profile Muslims?

    Political Correctness requires the punishment of all for the crimes of a few. It is believed by liberals that this is a type of peer pressure that will cause the majority to take care of the issue themselves without help from the current administration, as in the latest incident.

    What a surprise: a conservative who only respects rule of law and the constitution when it's convenient. I consider right-wing filth like yourself more dangerous to the world and society as a whole than any terrorist. Let's start profiling white male conservatives.
