Arch Enemy said:I love our new mentality.
Just because you look one way we're going to consider you a suspect.
I voted NO.
Maybe we should start having Racial Profiling on White People! I mean, we do terrorist attacks as well!
Lilith said:Exactly! It is already human nature to suspect those who "look like" the criminals we see in our minds and media everyday... to have it "on the books" is wrong in my opinion. I have seen to many sweet older women being harassed at airports because they are obviously arab and/or muslim.
I understand your previous points. I mentioned the older women only because of their culture they are truly humiliated by this. The security actually checks anyone looking "arab" or having long hair or a trenchcoat... my son gets picked for "random checks" EVERY time. :roll:CanadianGuy said:What we are talking about checking younger males not old ladies we all have said that is stupid

lolCanadianGuy said:Because he is a young man wearing a trench coat? I don't want to insult your son but that is suspicious in a heat wave.
Lilith said:lol
my son would wear it if it wer hot.. but it's not.. who said anything about a heat wave? :doh
Yes... I am from the Central coast of California...like it says... it's not hot here though... rarely is... you know what happens when you assume...CanadianGuy said:Oh are you not from america?
CanadianGuy said:Ok I am sorta confused elaborate please. I also have said before if someone is suspicious they should be checked no matter what they could have done something else wrong.
I've done it. And no, it isn't comfortable. However, I don't think they should be anymore subject to search than anyone else unless they look suspicious for some other reason than being arab.Navy Pride said:To the people that said no... Would you feel comfortable getting on an airplane with 4 men dressed in Arab garb? I know I would not.....

Just because JWL was American proves nothing...........He was the exception to the rule.........

I'm not saying you shouldn't search people - and as i've stated, profiling is human nature... I just can't quite take the leap of saying you should search every arab.
I agree. I mentioned it somewhere before (so many threads, so little time.) I would rather everyone be seached than blatant profiling.teacher said:That is a good time to search everyone. The rest of us can just suck it up, and they can't claim "profiling". There is always another way. Just have to think of it. Massive brain, remember?
CanadianGuy said:terrorist attacks as well?
Arch Enemy said:You don't consider the KKK activities as acts of terrorism, the Neo-Nazis blowing up synagogues.. etc etc Are those not acts of terrorism? Or are our acts immune to being defined as "terrorism"?

Navy Pride said:Well I say if it can prevent another 9/11/01 then go for it..........I can tell you if white cauc males were the primary people committing terrorist acts then I would have no problem being racial profiled..............Its only common sense......
Should racial profiling be alowed when searching people in subways, train stations and Airports?
