How many air plane incidents in say the last 10 years involve other than young male islam/muslims? Never heard of the Black Widows? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahidka Don't give me the hate group nonsense. If I am looking for terrorists I am not going to be wearing a turbin padding down an eldery white nun living 30 years in Arkansas I am going to get no where. Profiling has had some successes with single individuals. When you are talking of a terrorist organization, it will just look for whackos that don't fit the profile. By the way, Mohammed Atta doesn't fit your profile. He was 33. Looks like Ruskies have some fiesty and deadly women. Did they do a US airliner? 33, he would fit. I said young, not kids... say 14 to 40. I never claimed profiling will get them all, just a method of spending 20% of the resources for 80% of the effect. Then you have 80% of the resources to go after 20% that remain. Increases the odds of being effective. And add all terrorist groups, even domestic skin heads. Although you are correct, profiling shines a light on certain races and classes of people. We can't allow that to happen. ;-) |

You spend 80% of the resources, and ignore all the rest. Put two people on an airplane, one a young Muslim man, the other an older white woman. The woman is carrying the bomb. While all the airport security focuses on the young Muslim man, the woman slips on board. Rediculous. You would never get a job as a profiler. |

You should check with flajim, frogwatch, and the rest of the right-wing morons here. They know nothing about airport security, either. |

Yup, but consider, this last incident was caused by a black Nigerian, not an Arab. As I said before, if you want to profile a terrorist, fine, but if you think racial profiling is the answer, you are going to miss a lot of terrorists, McVeigh, the Unabomber, the Shoe Bomber, Black Widows, etc., etc. |

They may be too busy checking to make sure your 3 oz. shampoo bottle is properly secured in it's 1 qt. anti- terrorist ziplock bag to be bothered with a heads up from the Brits. TSA is a poor substitute for security. It's been crap since it was set up and not likely to get better. I know the libs will squeal at this but mayube a little racial profiling is in order? Like, check out people with obviously Muslim names a little more closely than pasty white "Bubba Joe Smith" from Texarkana (apologies if Bubba Joe actually resides on this group). There's always going to be somebody who doesn't get on the list. Don't need "racial" profiling. Some of these jihadists are white. Just check the Muslims close, especially the young ones. Male and female. Those are the ones that blow themselves and innocents to smithereens. Might be wrong, but I can't recall any suicide bomber being over 30 years old. McVeigh has nothing to do with these. Different animal. He didn't blow himself up. That's why arming passengers won't work either. A .45 against 2 pounds of C-4 at 30,000 feet always has the same winner. El Al doesn't have a problem, but they devote smart people and a hard-ass attitude to the weeding process. I don't understand the attitude of fliers that they don't want to suffer "discomfort." Being blown out of the air is real discomfort. There's a war going on. Wearing a nice clean hospital gown and getting a free prostate or vaginal exam sounds like a pretty good deal. But just good screening should take care of it. Despite all the talk of these terrorists being "sophisticated" they're not bright bulbs. Just we've been stupid in letting them get close. And way too PC. I still don't understand why somebody didn't jack up that Ft. Hood shooter before he shot up our boys. Seems somebody should have broke his nose and drawn him out for a discharge before it happened. If the terrorists had any "sophistication" they'd be shooting down airliners with Stingers instead of mixing up vinegar and Chlorox bleach or whatever the hell they're doing to set their crotch on fire. That's all Jack Bauer bull****. And remember, even Santa handed Bauer his ass on a plate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6yUCbqAGrg --Vic Now that you've thrown in a free exam, I'm all for it Vic! |
