Tonight's lineup...
Your Douglas Diaries including just who it was that ran down New Orleans quarterback Adrian McPherson. Plus, gas prices reach an all new high. I'll tell you when it will become too expensive for me to continue driving. Then, two of television's dating shows have come to an end, thank God. I'll tell you which ones. Finally, gender switching roles among online gamers, what's the problem?
Next up...
A major week for news. I'll talk about the new guidelines for the TSA and carry-on items. This is fine for now, but we can't outlaw everything. If we did, our airports trash would look like this:
The main goal should be targeting terrorists before they get to the airport, and our government needs tools to do that. The Patriot Act, searching of property on public transportation, and warrantless wiretaps are all essential.
We should continue to be vigilant at the airport as well, and part of that is technology, but the other part is interviews and personal interaction. To ensure a high success rate, Muslims, especially young males should be profiled. It's not fair, but exigent circumstances exist, and we can't question everyone in an effort to be fair. After all, not all Muslims are terrorists, but so far all terrorists have been Muslims.
I'll also talk about the differences between British legal constraints versus American legal constraints. Should we adopt some of the practices that thwarted this terrorist attack, and how would American's react?
Then...
Is it too soon for a 9/11 film?
Not for me it isn't. It would behoove Americans in the face of all these infringements on our liberties to remind everyone just what it is we are up against. Even though I perceive these infringements to be minor, there are many who don't.
All that and more on the Steve Douglas Show tonight!!!
