There is a whole list of arab countries, frequently travelled by Easterners and Westerners alike, that move along much MORE swiftly that airports in the US and Britain. Give me a break. |
wow. thats the most pathetic thing iv'e heard all month.

All of this is useless.You can racially profile, close borders...ect...ect, but in the long run terrorism will still happen.Look at history folks, as it tends to always repeat itself.Hedgimonies that abuse and force policies on others always inevitably fall.You are racially profiling the wrong people at that, since that in 10 to 15 years you will all need to learn to speak chinese
The real way to stop terrorist attacks, and practically the only ways that have actually worked in past situations such as the British airliner plot, are:
(1) Focus on individuals who behave in certain ways: nervously, irritably, defensively, and so on. Train law enforcement extensively in recognizing behaviors that might indicate a dangerous person. Maybe even bring some Israeli experts to train American and British law enforcement, since Israeli experience with this is way more extensive.
(2) And the biggest one: get intelligence about what's going on beforehand by obtaining inside information from people in the communities that harbor terrorists or know people who harbor terrorists.
Focusing on extremely superficial facial characteristics or skin color takes attention off of behavior, which is where it should be. Focusing on appearance will produce tons of "false positives": it has to because quite a few Arabs board planes each day but very, very few of them are terrorists.

| August 22, 2005 | By anyone's standard, Anne-Marie Murphy didn't look like a terrorist threat. In 1986, Murphy was a 32-year-old hotel chambermaid from Dublin, Ireland, who was six months pregnant and on her way to marry her fianc� in Israel. Authorities discovered a bomb in her carry-on bag as she boarded a plane in London on her way to Tel Aviv. Kozo Okamoto didn't fit the profile of a terrorist, either. In 1972, he and two other Japanese passengers had just arrived in Tel Aviv on a flight from Puerto Rico when they retrieved guns from their checked bags and opened fire in the arrival terminal at Ben Gurion International Airport, killing more than two dozen people and injuring nearly 80. Nor did Patrick Arguello seem like a state enemy in 1970 before he tried to hijack an Israeli El Al plane flying from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to New York. Arguello, who was killed by Israeli sky marshals as he tried to carry out his attempt, was a Nicaraguan who had attended high school in Los Angeles. Enemies, Israel has learned, don't always look like the known enemy. Terrorists, both willing and unwilling (such as Murphy, who was unwittingly used by her Palestinian fianc� as a carrier for his bomb), come in many guises, including color, ethnicity and gender.

Originally posted by Abercrombie Is it just me? I mean if I was working security in any airport in the world, and saw a guy looking like this walking around (while ignoring any look of ethnicity), I think I'd give him more than a secondary. |
