    This blogger's opinion from Dec., 2006, sums it up pretty well:

    So I was standing in a security line at Reagan National Airport couple weeks ago when I saw a poster titled, “The Faces of Global Terrorism.” (PDF copy - also see the State Department press release) All 26 appeared to be light- to medium-brown skinned, young, Middle Eastern men of Arab descent ... every last one. No women. No whites. No blacks. No Asians.

    I couldn’t help but spot the almost painful irony of standing in a long security line - where I was required to take off my shoes and stand on a dirty airport floor and empty my laptop bag and watch comically serious TSA agents confiscate lotion in 8-ounce containers instead of the requisite 3 ounces and eye little old white ladies as they walked through metal detectors - of mostly white passengers, women, and a few blacks and Asians. I don’t recall seeing one person in line who looked or dressed like any of the men on the poster.

    I figured they'd make a poster of all the No. 3 Al-Qaeda guys out there. Apparently they're hanging off the date palms out there.

    Folks, Boom is simply needing some attention and some "him" time. That's why he started this thread. Just roll your eyes and hum a little tune.

    I really don't see what point he is making- is he saying that airline security measures are mistargeted?
