That's my answer to the question in the title of this post by Joel Dreyfuss.
Dreyfuss questions whether or not we Americans are really interested in substituting the personal scrutiny and profiling of air travellers employed by the Israelis for the naked image scanners and intrusive "pat downs" used by TSA.
I say yes, let's do the obvious profiling that would actually protect us, rather than the fake, ineffective but "even-handed" scanning and/or pat downs we all now have to suffer through.
I don't want to get blown up any more than anyone else, but law enforcement works best when it can use all of its tools. Profiling is a valid tool. We should not take the best tool out of the TSA's hands. The current TSA methodology is a poor substitute which has been foisted upon us by political correctness.

Steelers vs. Bills: Live at the Ralph!
Tomorrow, I am going to a live football game for the first time in some 20+ years.
When I last went to see the Bills play, the stadium was called Rich Stadium and I think Joe Ferguson was the Bills' QB. I'm pretty sure I would be more comfortable at home watching this on TV, but my kids have never been to an NFL game and, since they are both Steeler fans, we're going to Buffalo.
I'm expecting it to be a fun (if a bit cold) experience.
UPDATE: Those who saw the game know the Bills should have won it. The Steelers started strong but then went to sleep. This Bills team just does not quit. If their talent was on a par with their heart, they would be a formidable team.
Also, there were so many Steeler fans in the stands that the Bills may have wondered if it was an away game. There was even a Steeler vendor outside the stadium, selling terrible towels and the like. Its pretty rare that the vendors go to an away game and can still sell enough stuff to make the trip profitable.
