题目: Re: Better to "frisk" only those most likely to commit an act of terrorism.
Artful Dodger: That would be who? Americans annoyed with the USA or some religious group, etc..... As most terrorist attacks on the USA homeland have been committed by Americans. If you go back 10-20 years then most of the terrorism happening was by Europeans in Europe, those unhappy with the way the world is and of those who won't listen to them.
.. 99.999%+ of those who are middle eastern are just normal everyday Joes. That's why the policy here is everyone gets scanned.
题目: Re: Better to "frisk" only those most likely to commit an act of terrorism.
Artful Dodger: And of the European Muslims? Who are 2nd or 3rd generation but still (thanks to bad policies in the west & those would pervert Islam in order to spread hate) ... what then?
Artful Dodger: ... It matters to us in the UK. As UK citizens have been blown up or attempted to be blown up by more then Muslims. Muslims did not invent terrorism
We've had several white supremacists attempt or actually kill people in the UK. The IRA splinter groups have been blowing up and are PROMISING more in order to try and restart the Northern Ireland troubles again... over 3500 deaths over 40 years that war took.
They are NOT boy scouts. They don't care if the person is a civilian or not.
题目: I was talking specifically about Muslim terrorists.
Artful Dodger: How can anyone possibly tell who is a Muslim terrorist? The Middle Eastern groups recruit from disenfranchized people all over the world. They often get people of different races & ethnic backgrounds to do their dirty work these days. Profiling is not done out of "political correctness". It is not done because it is less than effective.
