Funny, the Israels said the reason they've been so successful in deterring hijacking for years and years is because they look for terrorists, not weapons.

Incidently, I'm pro-profiling as of 9/11/01 if you couldn't tell.

 In this case profiling would mean that those five guys would be selected for thorough search.
 They were denied entry outright without any justifucation - that is unfair prosecution.

 At least that is what I gather from the article - which may not be complete or entirely accurate.

LOL Great troll, Tac, but to expect us to believe that someone as conservative as you are, even, could somehow justify the denial of public conveyances based solely upon ones ethniticity is just too much of a stretch, even for you. LOL good try tho, bud.

I watched a guy interviewing black guys about profiling Mid-Eastern people as potential terrorists soon after 9/11.  They all agreed that it was okay.  Then the interviewer asked them about profiling young black men who are driving nice cars.  They all got sheepish grins and said "Okay, you got me".:rolleyes:

ACLU
American - I'm for that
Civil Liberties - I'm for that too.
Union - OK, got me there. I guess I'm sort of anti union.:rolleyes:

Can't for the life of me figure out why any American would be against an organization who's only purpose is to uphold the Bill of Rights. Explain that one to me please?

My man, you're talking to someone that gets a nice glass of milk at some airports, whose baggage is inspected TWICE at customs and who is so lucky to like dogs so much he "bumps" into them in most airports.

Funny thing is, I get special treatment after I show my Colombian passport ;)

And I really dont mind.. I know its not against me personally, nor a stereotype problem, and it sure as heck aint an ethnic issue. Its security. And frankly I'd be worried if they didnt take such measures.

From my point of view, these people suing are nothing but scumbags that see a way to get a quick buck. You gringos have a serious P.C. problem (oh my, is "gringo" not PC? Baaa! :D ) and your enemies, both external and internal are making good use of it.

Be warned.

Why? Are young black men prone to driving their cars into tall buldings killing thousands?

The PC hysterics and the US obsession with minority rights never ceases to amaze me. Take a look at all hijackings since 1970. How many hijackers were not arab men?

I'm with you man, I don't think minorities should have rights either.

I'm not against profiling per se, but it has it's dangers.

Focusing on a particular type can leave you open to attacks from people who don't fit the profile. One of the recent suicide bombers in Israel had bleached blonde hair, and wasn't challenged largely because of that.

The best example would be the Lod airport massacre in Tel Aviv in 1970. The Israeli authorities were so focused on Arab terrorists, 3 Japanese members of the JRA on a joint operation with the PFLP were able to fly in to the airport carrying violin cases with guns in them. They were able to get into position, and open fire on the crowds. They only finished when they ran out of ammo. 28 people were killed.

Yeah, I agree completely. Same thing happened when the Palestinians started to use female suicide bombers. I dont think anyone expected that. It goes to show how important it is to think outside the box when fighting against these people.

One rumor that was flying around after 9-11 was that the next attack would be carried out by Philipinos, since the Al Queida has strong ties to some Philipine moslem terrorist group.

I think this discussion is rather silly though. We all do our own profiling several times a day. Anyone who has been on an airliner and seen an arab guy leave his seat heading for the bathroom knows what I'm talking about. Some call it predjudices, I call it common sense.

You don't speak for all humanity, you only speak for yourself.

And ya I call it prejudice.

Because they are not what they say they are.

Who would be against

N - National
S - Socialist
D - German
A - Worker's
P - Party

A pretty and lofty name means nothing, it's what the organisation does,  that counts.
