Tell me why we can't catch a person that pays with cash, has no luggage or carryon, and buys a one-way ticket from Europe to the states, BEFORE the flight takes off?

If I'm sacrificing my liberties and time for flying, I want some answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk to the French. They stopped him once before causing him to miss his original flight.

You're right though....


It does make you wonder what some people consider suspicious enough, not to let you board a plane and hold you for questioning.

I don't know, but I don't think there is really any way that they can thoroughly check everyone from head to toe

Because people like you are in charge. The logical thing to do is stop all arabs from taking flights or strip search them and their luggage. There has been only one non-arab hijacking in the last 30 years.
