What I have been saying is that the FBI agent in Pheonix alerted the FBI to Arab males in flight school and journalists have reported that the FBI didn't have the resources to investigate all 200,000 flight schools students and felt that it would be racial profiling to limit the investigation to Arab males. So fear of racial profiling was one reason that they didn't investigate the Arab males in flight schools. This was reported by journalists to have come from former FBI agents.

And I've agreed with you that given the warnings, they should have done the investigation.

I never said what you are saying I said. I said just the opposite - I said this is about best focusing your limited resources in a way that is most likely to keep us safe.

Focus them how? You say things like "So focus on muslims and you get the National Guard guy." Are you limiting that to "focus on muslims in flight school"? Or do you mean "all muslims"? Or do you mean "muslims who meet certain other criteria"? In which case, is the presence of those other criteria sufficient to support investigating non-muslims?
