    There were warnings of Quacks and Walks for all the other events. But the "authorities" didn't follow through as they should have on those that got through.

    well i do understand that much of the math and the "algebra" we use today we picked up from the muslims and arabic countries. (even though some want to deny that bit of history) But from what the article says the professor was preparing for a speech he was going to give.

    But are you saying that it's people should automatically be considered a terrorist if they write or speak arabic launguages at the airport?

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
