Whether its off topic or not, its amazing to me how gov't minimalists rationalize that gov't employees are less terrorist victims than people killed on an airplane because it is done "internally".

Artful Dodger: We were talking about profiling related to terrorism PERIOD! And for some reason, some people want to dismiss such profiling in relation to domestic terrorism.

Frankly, I'm not 100% sure how I feel about some profiling whether its on an airplane or the "ground". Its a balancing act between the appearance of safety vs. human rights & dignity. I still maintain though appearances can be deceaving. I'd check everyone pretty carefully.

Subjekt: Re:

Ferris Bueller: Well here is the first post in the thread, and as you can plainly see, it is aimed at airport security, it is the side of people who do not like profiling at airports that has changed the subject to domestic profiling by citing those examples as non muslim terorist attacts which no one is denying

Subject: Interesting item. Maybe we should do as Israel does.

Airport worker caught in body scanner abuse
Thomas Lifson

That didn't take long. Human nature (male variety) remains constant. The BBC reports:

A Heathrow Airport security guard was given a police warning after he was allegedly caught staring at images of a female colleague in a body scanner.

Israel manages to overcome the most threatening environment for airline terrorism in the world by use
of profiling, but in the United States, thanks to political correctness, we insist on considering elderly grandmothers from Iowa a threat as serious as the Detroit crotch bomber.

As a result, attractive females can expect to be ogled at airports. Sorry, ladies. PC strikes again.
