The other day I read an article that asked the rhetorical question: Are military muslim clerics radicalized? I couldn't help but, cynically, LOL at the out right naievte of the question. As though no credible evidence exists to suggest such a thing. This story evokes the same paradoxical question as to why we make such a big deal out of 'homeland security' while disregarding border security and MILLIONS of illegal aliens, not just mexicans, and the potential threat they pose. ITS STUPID.

We are institutionalizing security threats into our infrastructure as though we don't have the skill set required to identify them in the first place. Now, I understand the PC reasoning behind such acts of arrogant ignorance, and lord knows we all want to feel good about our motives, but from the practical and in reality the more secure perspective, (you know, the one that is the cause of us going through metal detectors, body searches, explosives screeing and other inconveinent delays as we enter many state and federal buildings or any airport "sterile" area), don't you think we should be a bit less philosophical and a bit more 'secure' in our actions?

This is clearly a lapse in the judgement of our 'security' at the policy, administrative, functional and practial levels.
