>>>Yes I did. You have to consider how he's handling it though. He will pick a Hispanic neighborhood then on one day he will send 100's of cops there to harass all the residents...also known as "racial profiling". I remember reading about the wedding he ruined by doing something like this. Anyway I suppose he probably means well on this subject - but he really abuses his office a lot of other ways which is why he's under a federal investigation.

>I'm afraid our hippie friend just doesn't get it. He is probably not in favor of questioning muslims who ride airplanes either. Sheriff Arpaio raids hispanic neighborhoods because that's where the illegals live. I don't understand the resistence to protecting our borders. The left wants to open our borders to everyone, while most other countries will shoot you down like a dog for crossing their borders....

Hey I'm all for protecting borders - but I'm against the cops flooding an entire neighborhood just because it's hispanic. That is a dangerous thing to start doing and seems like there is something in the constitution about that....
As far as questioning muslims just because they want to get on a plane? Well if there should happen to be a reason to question them other than their religious beliefs then go ahead....but you simply can't target an individual based on their religon. If they're doing what those idiots did last year (standing in the airport making a scene screaming "hail allah" wearing full muslim garb) then duh they're acting fishy so yeah question them. Those clowns were just trying to come up with a way to attempt to sue the airline for not letting them on the plane..ha. If their passports and travel history reflects visits to terroist countries then sure check them out closer...but dude you have to have a reason other than their religion.
