Homeland Security considers Arab-only airlines

House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King

Hate to Say I Told You So
Is anyone else aware of a case where a blogger suggested something, and that idea was being discussed in Congress less than a week later?

At the risk of sounding conceited, one doesn't become the 14th most important person born in the 1980s for no reason. Ladies, you know where I can be reached.

House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King, pictured above, has endorsed Arab-only airlines.

WASHINGTON -- Declaring that airport screeners shouldn't be hampered by "political correctness," House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King has endorsed requiring people of "Middle Eastern and South Asian" descent to undergo additional security checks because of their ethnicity and religion.

Of course, some French types - none of whom, I'm sure, would actually like to ride on a plane full of Arabs - go on to suggest that this would be a constitutional issue. But I like how they conveniently seem to forget that the government can already kidnap Arabs and lock them in Gitmo for no other reason than the fact that they're Arab. Here, all we're asking is that they all ride on a plane together.

The bottom line is: This would've prevented 9/11.

Yesterday Fox News, today Congress. I wouldn't be surprised if this was official government policy by the end of the month.
