As a prospective person who can be anally checked in Saudi for color of skin and place of domicile vis a vis biometric eye profiling and finger printing in USA I would any day opt for the later, moreover it is for the former that I am not a haji… gg

My source is 'The News' largest news channels they are breaking news. ..Please check the site. By the way every South Asian is finger printed since 1975 in every Gulf state, it is a requirement before you get a visa residence, finger printing for economic migrants who break the shackles of abject poverty and join the ranks of civilized societies is a smaller price, Mr. Laden most unfortunately has added suspicion to anyone with brown skin and ‘Mohammed’ to his name, the best solution is to screen the terrorist who are out there to take our open society and open borders to deep caves and holes.

Those who are part of greater schemes have to be secluded, if anyone has a better system it should be most welcome, Muslims brothers have rarely raised an eyebrow when Saudis go through routine anal checks of Pakistanis and others very pious Afghans from the hashish capital of the world, arriving for pilgrimage, for catching few who carry drugs and who routinely are seen being beheaded and chopped like carrots in public square of Mecca after a summary justice millions go through two finger check through the annul hole, will some one talk about sanctity of our private parts to Saudis…, discriminatory it is or it sounds but such seclusions when fringe elements hijack ideology are only answers, the balance has to be between safety for all against compromise of freedom for few. As a prospective person who can be annul checked in Saudi for color of skin and place of domicile vis a vis biometric eye profiling and finger printing in USA I would any day opt for the later, moreover it is for the former that I am not a haji… gg
