Please tell me oh wise one, what is not open minded about my ideas?
Hmmm, maybe the fact that you are so fixated on weeding out Akhmed Brownguy that you completely ignore the next Timothy McVeigh wannabe?

No, actually, you don't. You deal with the "real facts" you want to see, but not the "real facts" you find inconvenient to your little scheme. Therefore, allow me to answer a question with a question.
Are you not completely ignoring (though it has been pointed out to you many times in this thread) the fact that skin color and/or nation of origin and/or religion is by no means a definite indicator of terrorist inclinations?
Here are some more "real facts" that have apparently escaped you despite the number of times they have been brought up.
Fact: There are plenty of white muslims.
Fact: There are plenty of black muslims.
Fact: Many of these white and black muslims hail from countries other than those deemed "the middle east."
Fact: There are plenty of non-muslim terrorists with agendas that have nothing to do with Islamic Jihad.
Under your oh-so-clever "scheme" any up and coming Timothy McVeigh wannabes and their compadres would get a free pass through security. Any "American Taliban" recruits would get a pass. People would die because terrorist cells would start recruiting Whitey and you'd never see it coming.
Your "scheme" leaves holes a mile wide through which anyone with the inclination to blow up a plane could just sail right through.
But don't allow these "real facts" to deter you from your comforting little delusion that it's only those of middle-eastern extraction whom we need to watch out for.

To have an open mind one should be able to look at the whole picture not just the ideal world that simply does not exsist, sorry for being a realist.
You're not being a realist and you're not even coming close to looking at the whole picture.

I have yet to have one poster come up with another solution.
That's because the one currently in implementation is doing just fine to address those "real facts" that you conveniently choose to ignore.
