Singling people out in a line of people flying to NYC from London because they fit a particular description is racial profiling. Aside from the fact that its an indication of racism, its a rather stupid approach to solving the problem.

So let me get this straight. You'd prefer a randomized security check at the airport, which includes old ladies and non-Muslims, instead of one that specifically targets Muslims? Wow. Do you like to play Russian roulette by any chance?


Hmmm......first what makes you think they can check every Muslim or suspicious person coming through the lines? They can't. The best they can do is a random check. Secondly, if the Muslim terrorists think we are checking only Muslims, then they will use an Anglo looking Muslim [of which there are plenty] to do the dirty deed. Thirdly, how long do you think such treatment would be allowed before someone sues? Fourthly how the fukk would you feel if every time you went to the airport you were pulled out of line because you faintly look like someone who may be a terrorist?

I know its hard for you all to fight the paranoia but try.
