Richard Colvin Reid a/k/a/ Abdul-Raheem a/k/a Abdul Raheem, Abu
Ibrahim, is half British and half Jamaican.

And don't forget Anne-Marie Murphy, a pregnant Irish girl, who tried
to get on board an El Al flight in '86. Her boyfriend, Nezar Hindawi,
packed her bags, and included 7 lbs of explosives without telling her.

Actually everybody, I was refering to the post 911 quagmire week where
all the terrorists involved were mid-eastern males and the concern was
that other sleepers were going to strike within days. The irony was
that FAA security refused to profile anybody. It made sense to a lot
of us that the Delta Captain threw off the SS passenger later because
both: he was a mid-eastern male, and possessed improper paperwork.
But that's a good point, race/immigrant background is not determinant.
Now it appears to be more along the lines of converts of extreme
religion. We need to be bugging mosques, not setting up more TFR's.
(let me just get under this manhole cover here....)
