WHAT IF THE NIGERIAN BOMBER HAD REMOVED HIS UNDERWEAR IN THE BATHROOM FIRST, AND THEN...

... AND THEN IGNITED IT - ALONE IN THE BATHROOM?

THERE WOULD'VE BEEN NO INTERVENTION AND IT WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP.

• DITTO THE SHOE BOMBER: IF HE DONE IT IN THE BATHROOM.
• THEY DO IT IN THEIR SEATS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE NEAR THE GAS TANKS.
• IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE ENEMY MIGHT ADJUST THIS PART OF THEIR STRATEGY.
• KEEPING PASSENGERS IN THEIR SEATS FOR THE LAST HOUR OF A FLIGHT WON'T MAKE US MUCH SAFER.
• AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEPEND ON THE COURAGE AND VIGILANCE OF OTHER PASSENGERS ALONE.
  
• WE NEED PROFILING AND WE NEED IT NOW - AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS.

WHAT'S THE CHANCE THE LIB OBAMA WILL CHECK OFF ON THIS?

ZERO.

AGAIN: PC WILL TRUMP SANITY.
