While each country has sovereignty over their aviation systems and
controls the level of security measures at their airports, over 190
countries worldwide-including the United States, use the International
Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) standards and recommended practices
for civil aviation security as their baseline.

In the United States, TSA has built even further on these standards with
security initiatives like Behavior Detection Officers and Advanced Imaging
Technology. The United States also sets additional security standards on
top of ICAO's for U.S.-bound flights coming into or through the United
States from international airports.

If those standards aren't met, the U.S. can deny entry to a specific
flight, airline, or flights from a specific airport.

Makes no difference. Because we now believe effective aviation security
must begin beyond our borders, and as a result of extraordinary
cooperation from our global aviation partners, TSA is mandating that every
individual flying into the U.S. from anywhere in the world traveling from
or through nations that are state sponsors of terrorism or other countries
of interest will be required to go through enhanced screening.

TSA's new directive also increases the use of enhanced screening
technologies and mandates threat-based and random screening for passengers
on U.S. bound international flights.

This means the majority of ALL international travelers will go through
enhanced screening under this new security directive.

That's up to you. The TSA doesn't care about your opinion. They have
bigger fish to fry.

That's a good one, coming from somebody who doesn't know sound policy
when it hits him in the face. Try re-writing P4 to suit your self image
again and see what happens.

They won't be coming by airplane if they do come...

There are no tall buildings. No one cares. Arabs aren't allowed to attend
flight school.

The above aren't guesses.
