By Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld Posted: January 15, 2010 ~ 1:00 am Eastern © 2010 On Christmas Day, 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab gave Osama bin Laden a great holiday gift. And he didn't even have to blow up the plane to do it.

Already the Dutch authorities have announced that Schipol Airport will begin using full-body scanners on passengers flying to the U.S. The decision was made after discussions with Janet Napolitano.

"Once again, we're looking for a quick-fix piece of technology when we ought be using the best piece of technology there is – the human brain," he said. "We ought to be profiling people." Of course, al-Qaida will begin devising explosives that can be inserted in a terrorist's rectum. Will that require perfectly normal passengers to undergo rectum searches in the future? The jihadists are quite clever. They are capable of devising all sorts of ways of killing the infidels. Their triumphant 9/11 attack required recruiting 20 terrorists to take flying lessons, hijack four airliners and crash them into predetermined targets – all undetected by the U.S. government. Meanwhile, the government's ultimate goal is to make body scanning one of the routine ways of screening passengers. And so, anybody embarking on an international flight will be subjected to a body scan before being able to board a plane. READ FULL STORY >
