"99.99% of world terrorist activity is perpetrated by young, Arab males."
Indians and Pakistanis are not arabs. Indonesians and Philippinos are not arabs. Somalis and Sudanese are not arabs. Kosovans and Albanians are not arab. Iranians are not arabs.
We then move to the British (Ried-mixed), the Americans (Padilla-Hispanic), the Australian (Caucasian) which are non-arab.
So the issue is not physical race. The issue is radical islam.
I believe the Israelis screen passenger lists much more thoroughly than we do.
"I believe Israelis screen passengers lists....."
A good friend of mine is a retired US Army Sergeant First Class (Logistics Technician) who served at the US Embassy in Israel in the mid-90's. He had occasion to come home a few times as he was on an "Unaccompanied Tour" in Israel. He told me that the screening process at the Israeli Airports are "unbelievable". If you even look suspicious you get an immediate "interview"....."Who are you, where are you going..etc." COMING AND GOING!
I have flown three times since Sept 11, 2001:
I get my tickets on-line; get to the SECURITY CHECKPOINT TWO HOURS IN ADVANCE OF MY FLIGHT; carry as little as possible - small carry-on with toiletries etc; check the rest of my luggage; I like my boots so I put up with the small convenience of taking them off going through the checkpoint..... TRAVELLERS CAN MAKE THE PROCESS AS DIFFICULT OR EASY AS THEY WANT!
"I believe the Israelis screen passenger lists much more thoroughly than we do."
they do, but are dealing with 1/100th of the air traffic the US does and much better trained screeners that often counduct random, impromptu interviews.
True, but they are not, so far, a significant part of the anti-US terrorist contingent either. Listing off a litany of races proves nothing. Most terrorists, and most radical Islamists, are young, Arab males. The terrorist recruiting and training system intends it to be this way, and so it is.
