#1 Maybe the TSA is able to use some real-time data but frankly, a major problem is getting the intel into a form that can be used.

#2 When Janet Napolitano was asked as to what criteria would be used to profile foreigners for suspected terrorist ties, she replied, "Black or brown skin. Large, hooked, Semitic noses. People who eat weird food and dress funny."

When asked if that might be racist, she replied, "No. Not at all. The left does not discriminate. Only the right wing discriminate."
