Public Sanity Announcements (PSAs): Expand America's No-Fly List and Profile Foreign Travelers

JED BABBIN: Merge 'terror lists' and cancel the visa waiver program to prevent the next attack at Human Events. Then, from Gitmo to Yemen.
INSTEAD OF WASTING TAX-PAYERS' time and money by ordering my son and his wife to remove their one-year-old's shoes to check for bomb material---what's next, diapers?--- before leaving Edinburgh to fly back to Newark recently, why not first and foremost expand the "NO-FLY" list of those allowed to enter the U.S. in the first place? Currently, that list has only about 4,000 names. It should have thousands and thousands more, mostly names of young Muslims from Middle Eastern and African countries.

The word PROFILING should be an important concept we pull from the verboten politically incorrect trash bin this year. And when anyone has visited Yemen or Afghanistan other than U.S.officials and military, their contractors or their families, they should be highly suspect and given the thrice-over security check including any and all orifices and appendages. There, I said it.

AND, if we're unsure how to do it right, we should consult El Al.

THEY seem to have a fairly decent record with this.
