Let the racial profiling begin!

While Fox-viewing brainiacs from those dark-red states vow to clean up terrorism by detaining anyone who "looks like some kinda A-rab," cooler heads notice the tendency of white men from the midwest to take bombs with them while travelling. So we have the IRS profile well-off suburban white guys, and homeland security start putting the screws on rednecks. Any takers on the right-wing? Michelle Malkin, perhaps?

An Oklahoma man was taken into custody after he tried to carry a bomb on board an airplane on Wednesday in Oklahoma City, an FBI spokesperson said.

Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr., 24, was detained on Wednesday morning after a security screener using an X-ray machine saw the device in his luggage as he tried to board a flight to Philadelphia at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City.

Note: I don't actually know that Dreyling is white-- just a hunch based on the past history of terrorist acts in Oklahoma...
