The anti-profiling folks crack me up.
It's their delightfully PC outlook that would have forced the Feds fighting the Mafia to not focus so much on those swarthy Italian fellows ('cuz, after all, some Sicilians do have blonde and red hair....).
You go after the folks who tend to have similar appearances to the previous perpetrators. Expecting law enforcement to scan "the wondrous rainbow of humanity" with equal discrimination when we know damned well what most of the terrorists look like is just plain fucking stupid.
The Marlo Thomas "Free To Be You And Me" hippy handwringing has no place in this conflict.

Round these parts when a sniper was capping people left and right the "profile" was one or two white males blah blah blah driving in a white van.
Turned out to be a grown black man and a black kid driving in a blue car.
Then of course there the always fun time watching a 7-11 clerk keep her eye on the two black dudes in her store ...... while the young white kids are ripping her off.
So, all bullshit PC stuff aside, there are possible arguments that profiling just isn't effective. It's all about the odds I suppose.

Until the preponderance of captured terrorists stop looking like 7-11 clerks and more like blue-eyed, blonde-haired "Hitler's wet dreams," the dismissal of profiling in the name of "cultural sensitivity" is utter and complete idiocy.
Yeah, the occasional terrorist who doesn't fit the profile may slip through if profiling was the
only tool being used, but I'm thinking (hoping?) it is not.

Like I said, it's all about odds, but it is important to note that profiling is NOT an infallible tactic.
Back to PRO profiling, one could always use deductive reasoning that a car load of white youths travelling in Southeast D.C. @1:30 AM, are MORE THAN LIKELY, trying to acquire drugs of some sort.
But I think what we're missing here is that these Arab dudes, might find some unwitting NOT FITTING THE PROFILE type to carry on their contraband, so checking everyone is the most thorough thing to do.

You start racial profiling, and not only will more Muslims become driven towards being sympathetic to a group of maniacs, but al-Queda will only respond by grooming a bunch of white kids. And then what? More importantly, why are you assuming that only Muslims have the capibility of being terrorists?
Even more importantly, why should over a billion innocent people be treated like shit because people like you are scared little bitches who have only just had a taste of the real world?
If we profile muzzies and they change their 'trigger men' then we change our profiling techiniques.
If a Bojinka scenario was pulled off successfully by non-brown Muslim fundamentalists, and they kept their mouth shut about it, no-one would know. Furthermore, these people are begging us to fall for the bait and be even more institutionally racist, because it does wonders for their recruitment drives.
Pull your head out of your ass.

Why the sudden increase in airport security yesterday? They've known about liquid bombs for 11 years. They have apparently known about this plot for more than a month. What made the risk yesterday any greater than, say, Monday or Tuesday? Especially on domestic flights between places like San Diego and Denver. This plot had nothing to do with Frontier Airlines. Why haven't they increased the security accordingly among airport and airline employees, who would have a much easier time smuggling some kind of nefarious liquid onto a plane than a passenger would?
I guess the Admin figures that once the news is out the public expects to see the government react, so now that they have to wait 3 days to pass security they'll feel a lot safer.
Can you say Dog and Pony Show? Can you say overkill?

Agreed
Racial Profiling isn't going to do jack shit except create even more angry nutcases. It is going to happen regardless because of the mayhem being planned and being executed by maniacs who use their heritage and religion as cover for their personal quest for power. Not all Germans were fans of Hitler but had no choice to follow orders or die and the're many Muslims in the same situation. Those are the "scared lil Bitches" and they have every right to be, not anyone I know is going to get their head lopped off for speaking out.

The thing that doesn't sit well with me is this. Some folks feed some information to field ops, then we react. They get to watch how we react and in my uneducated eye all this transpires in the press and our tactical information appears to be broadcast on every channel.

I would expect them to take the path of least resistance and would not be in the least bit surprised to see an attack that has absolutely nothing to do with aircraft.
Agree 100% - All the people I work with in security are convinced the next attack will be a school or shopping mall - something along the lines of whet the Chechnyans did with the hostages in the theatre or at the school - or possibly just a bomb. The belief is also it will not be New York or LA - some midwest or podunk town where no one would expect it.

This is where the terrorists will have completely fucked up. If they think middle America will deal with dead children the way that the morally-vacant commies in Russia did then they are sadly mistaken. There will be outlash and revenge the likes these fuckgags could not conceive.

Yeah, forgive me. We've only had to deal with terrorism for the past 80 years or so, while you have had a handful of incidents in the last 10. And I personally was caught up in the South Quay bombing, the Brixton nail bomb and the Soho pub bombing, so what the fuck do I know?

And I wasn't saying that we should pat down 90 year old grannies either, but the idea that only brown-skinned people are capible of terrorism is ludicrous and dangerous. In any case, the airports are still gonna be incredibly draconian for a long while to come in order to shore up consumer confidence. Have you seen how money those fuckers have already lost?

To bring this back into perspective, I found NBC News Brian Williams’ concluding remarks from Thursday’s network news noteworthy:
After signing off the air Wednesday night, I boarded a commercial jetliner with my family for a flight across the Atlantic. We arrived in another country -- and we arrived in a new era. In the time it took to cross the ocean, times... had changed. Flying with liquids is no longer allowed, because, however perverse a notion this is: someone has figured out a new way to take down a commercial jetliner.
After saving up their money for months, Americans got on jetliners today to head off on summer vacation with their children. Some were told it would mean going without milk, juice, water, even possibly baby formula... or a way to entertain a two-year-old. Some waited all DAY for the privilege of flying on commercial jetliners even after learning they are still savory and sought-after flying targets.
Here in London Thursday a World War II veteran seemed downright wistful when he told me: at least during World War II he knew whom to shoot at... based on the shape of their helmets. This new enemy wears no such thing.
As our own Pete Williams said today, we prefer it when the news is that nothing happened. But something DID happen today, to all of us. This is our generation's conflict. A war with flying targets, and an often-invisible enemy. And once again we are linked with our allies an ocean apart... and another generation is called upon to meet the challenge.

There was no bloody revenge following Columbine because the perpetrators were dead. Also, one of the OKC bombers is now dead. For both of these instances there was no single identifiable group to blame.
I am not saying it is the correct response, but if there is a group to blame, eventually there is going to be backlash. Do outlash and revenge ever become the correct response? I think there comes a point when the consequences of committing murderous acts need to be more feared than the acts themselves.

Profile those fuckers. If they've done nothing wrong and are not involved, no harm done, and we are that much safer. Fuck this PC shit. The reality is that one very specific demographic group is doing most of the bombings.
The terror threat level would be reduced dramatically and 90 year old grannies woudl be left alone as they should be.
If it was white guys between the ages of 15 and 55 I would have no problem being scrutinized because I am not involved in that shit, and if it would mean me and my family would be safer, I wouldn't be crying racism or calling the ACLU.
Call a spade a spade and target the one group primarily responsible and you will have solved most of the problem or at the least forced the enemy to completely change tactics and start using the women they hide behind as human bombs.
And they would do it, too. Which goes to show you how truly pathetic we are at fighting this type of enemy. We are too afraid of offending them to do whatever it takes to stop them, and we'd rather inconvenience everyone than target the ones who are to blame.
