'Ex-terrorist' rakes in homeland security bucks
Rapid City, South Dakota (CNN) -- Walid Shoebat had a blunt message for the roughly 300 South Dakota police officers and sheriff's deputies who gathered to hear him warn about the dangers of Islamic radicalism.

Terrorism and Islam are inseparable, he tells them. All U.S. mosques should be under scrutiny.

...

It's a message Shoebat is selling based on his own background as a Palestinian-American convert to conservative Christianity. Born in the West Bank, the son of an American mother, he says he was a Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist in his youth who helped firebomb an Israeli bank in Bethlehem and spent time in an Israeli jail.

Former terrorist: U.S. must profile Islamic males

Becky Yeh - OneNewsNow California correspondent - 7/12/2011 4:40:00 AM
The U.S. government has warned domestic and international airlines that terrorists may be implanting bombs in human beings to better carry out their attacks.

U.S. airports have been placed on alert as the government warns of unpredictable terrorist activity.

Shoebat = batshit
