Many Muslims are also US citizens who care about the US just like everyone else. They serve in our military, and our navy, they work for our CIA, our FBI, and our Department of Defense to protect us. They even represent their states in Congress.
America need more jobs. People have too much times in their hands to complain about every single insignificant things.
In 2001 I wrote a conceptual paper to try to create some discussion regarding the development of a more practical, cost-effective and efficient airport security model. It was entitled "Guaranteeing Airline Security Based on the Adoption and Implementation of a Commercial Flight Eligibility Standard for Airline Passengers." It can be reviewed at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/01/prweb97213.htm.
Rather than trying to identify the proverbial needle in a haystack it focuses on those who would create a secuirty problem for the air lines and America.
Yes, we need to stop wasting money on a process that wastes taxpayer money, inconveniences the public and is unlikley to provide real security to the flying public.
If you would like to discuss the concept or agree there is a need for some debate to generate ideas regarding a more creative, practical and efficient approach to air line security please feel free to contact me.

Chinese police are more effective, more polite and much much faster.
Chinese communists are better than American Fascists,
