But we're not just looking for arab terrorists, are we? We're looking for converts like Don Stewart-Whyte, Oliver Savant and Brian Young. All three were detained after the recent UK bomb scare.
Granted. Ignoring everyone else is clearly not the answer, I don't espouse that. However, the preference for not profiling suicide bombers and other terrorist in this current day and age is sheer lunacy. There is a current profile. Does that mean the security people should stick to it like glue? No. Does it mean that they should use it as a guide for who they inspect closely, you betcha!
But you're not looking for a criminal who's already committed a specific crime in this case, are you? You're looking for someone who's likely to. Big difference.
Better yet. You've had a string of Murders that are directly attributed to the Sicilian Mob. Do you check out women, black people, irish, asians or look for Goombas toughs?
The problem is that the TSA is not encouraged to be imaginative. They're told to do X. It's assembly line security. One size fits all. That doesn't work very effectively.
