Not allowing the saudi Airlines in the US will be no significance. To start with the US which stands for high principles of sepration of Churhc and State, freedom of religion, thought and expression has no business of being overly friendly with countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc., much less call them "close allies in war on terrorism." Saudi Arabia fobids practice any religion other than Islam which is directly opposite to everything that America stands for, and Pakistan was created on the massacre of at least a million of its non-Muslims citizens -- not much different from the Nazis.

Suadi Arabia -- intellectually and Pakistan -- physically fuel the engine that sustains Islamic terrorism. The real cause of terrorism is the ideology that makes otherwise decent human beings to indulge in such horrendous acts of vandalism and senseless murders. Unless the world unites against the ideology that fuels this, we are all in grave danger. Just catching a few Islamic terrorists here and there is not the solution -- a war on the ideology is the answer. Attack the cause not just the symptoms
