Profiling and Terrorists

I agree, the new airport scanners are intrusive. And I’ve read online that the only good answer is to do profiling. As someone pointed out, all the terrorists have been Muslim men from 18 to 45. Because they are the terrorists, all we have to do is watch for those Muslim men.

However, I wonder how the original poster would define Muslim men. I assume they meant dark skinned men from the Middle East area. Except there are Christians living in the Middle East that would not ever want to be considered Muslim. Well, then how about all Arabic men. Well Pakistanis and Indians are also Muslim and they are not Arabic and they might also be Hindu or Christian. But to be safe, we should profile them all. We can’t be too careful.

Africa has a large percentage of people that are Muslim as well. So should the profiling be expanded to include blacks as well? And Indonesia is predominately Muslim and they are not Arabic, they might have darker skin, but they have Oriental features. And there are groups in China that are Muslim. I guess you will have to expand the profiling to either black or dark skinned or Asian men.

Except women could hold or carry bombs for the terrorists, so your profiling should be expanded so that any black, dark skinned or Asian person should be profiled.

However, we are seeing Islam reaching out to the European and American white population. I guess one way is to profile any man who wears a beard. Except the terrorists who flew the planes into the World Trade Building did not have beards to blend into the community. And of course, then we would also be looking at Amish and Mennonite men as well as Orthodox Jews.

So in the end, the TSA should profile any black, dark skinned, Asian or white men and women.

In the end, who is left? Inuits. There has never been a report of Inuit converting to Islam. We can profile everyone else and leave the Eskimos to sail right though. Except they might be carrying those big harpoons…That might not be that safe.
