Win war on terror: focus on the person

Wretchard is unusually good today at common sense:

We focus on things because it is prohibited to focus on people. The TSA looks for things — scissors, liquids, shoes, etc — but it doesn’t stop the underwear bomber. People now want to blame ‘access to guns’ for the Tsarnaevs. But it would be uncouth to ask after what they heard from their imam or their teachers.”

Indeed, and I agree with his conclusion: I won’t hold my breath waiting for our PC strait-jacket to be loosened.
