"Terror" in the Skies - A Question

Unless someone can provide a cogent explanation as to why the objections I've raised don't constitute good reasons to expect any hypothetical new terrorist strike to occur in a manner that utilizes the element of surprise, I'll continue to maintain that the only reason people are giving this ridiculous story about possible Syrian "terrorists" the milage it's obtaining is because it caters to their pre-existing prejudice that they ought to be spared the indignity of increased scrutiny, while other, swarthier persons should be made to bear the whole burden, as if such profiling would ever catch another Timothy McVeigh, Richard Reid, Jose Padilla or the white Australian convert Jack Roche.
