Ann Coulter Ridicules Airport Security

It is insane how the government is tackling air security. Muslim fanatics boarded planes with box cutters and then all sharp objects were banned. Then Richie Reid (shoebomber man) tries the shoe approach, and then everyone has to remove their shoes to check for that. Now we hear of a plot to use liquid explosives in soda bottles and now no one can bring water, soda, or deodorant onto a plane. Coulter is right on the insanity of this problem. To me I take issue with our approach for 2 reasons:

1. It's very reactive. For eg, if someone were to attempt to suffocate someone with my brother's dirty sock (yes it could be a weapon) then socks would have to be checked. Or say someone whips a stewardess with their specially made belt-whip, then belts would be disallowed.

2. We're targeting things (that could be weapons), rather than people. Box cutters, shoes, and water do not kill people. But muslim fanatics do. AC makes the point that

Airplanes, ports, bridges, subways and shopping malls cannot ever be sanitized against every type of attack that can be dreamed up by fanatics engaged in asymmetrical warfare. We have to target the fanatics themselves. Baby formula doesn't kill people. Islamic fascists kill people.

Sorry but there exists a profile of the type of person that we need to target. Politicians need the courage to recognize this obvious threat. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone is courageous enough to tackle liberal dems and judges and the ACLU until after we are attacked again.
