I've read the article, it reads like our old media biased crap,lots of "being played down by UK government insiders","and police groups have refused to back the idea.","the government is wary of introducing security screening with an ethnic component"; etc.

I am not familiar EU politics,but if there is a grain of truth in this,what will it take for us on both sides of the pond to wake up and quit this p.c. crap??

This is the quote that scares me,

“We consider that assuming the threat of terrorism to come from a particular ethnicity, faith, gender or age range would create a gap in our policing response that could be exploited by terrorists. Therefore, we brief staff carefully around these issues to ensure that stereotyping does not happen.”

Who cares what the Arabs and Muslems think? They are completely incapable and unwilling to police themselves. They are not being sensitive to the rest of the world in my opinion. Run every single of them through the ringer. The wierd thing about this liquid ban is that they can easily hide the liquid in plastic vials in their pants or underwear, without a full search.

I think they are trying to emphasize, the blond and blue will be sent in if they start relying too much on Mid East stereotypes.

Phony Religion of Peace "Civil Rights" leaders have been against almost every anti-terror measure in Western countries.

How did this moron get into a position of authority???

A large number of the terrorists came from the same mosque...But that's not a factor here...

There are two groups to fear...The mudlims and the gov't...

"The sort of people involved in terrorist activities don’t tend to fit a certain pattern and include people of all races and potentially different ages."

Yeah, so keep looking out for those Black Amish Grandmas.

If I was muslim, and I was not a terrorist I would be happy to undergo an inconvenience to persecute people who are giving my religion a bad name. Where are these so called moderate muslims???? This logic clearly spells out that there are no innocent muslims, if they are not terrorists themselves they at the very least support what the terrorists are doing. We are at war with islam, not just radical islam.

[IronJack]

The prospect of extra security checks for airline passengers on race and religion was being played down by UK government insiders on Tuesday for fear of alienating the Muslim community.

Then you still haven't learned your lesson.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to risk "alienating" these vermin or you're going to have to lay down and die.

I know which one I would choose.

[MarkL]

At least they'll be able to go to their graves knowing they didn't hurt the feelings of any muslims!

Not all Muslims are terrorist, but pretty much all terrorists have been Muslims, so do the profiling.

[The Red Zone]

Alienate them right out of England!

[JerseyHighlander]

After the next attack,
Thousands will die,
terrorists were profilable, but not profiled,
public and media outrage,
BNP takes huge election gains,
Labor is permanently crippled by losing a plurality of working class Anglo-Scot Brits forever.
permanent Balkanization of housing estates.

Labor party officials might as well bury their heads in the sand as long as possible.
