The wife and I were in the Czech Republic when 9/11 went down, and we were on the first Lufthansa flight to land at SFO (San Francisco) about 5 days later. We flew from Prague to Munich and then to SFO. Boarding scrutiny in Prague was tight, but Munich screening was tighter than a bull's ass at fly time, thank you. The German airport security was (hush) profiling!, and we sat at the boarding ramp for about an hour past departure time as passengers obviously of a (hush) certain ethnic group trickled onto the plane. Comforting? Yes. Did we care a whit about their feelings? Not one freaking iota.
We still travel to and from the CZR, and we still see profiling of certain ethnic groups in Prague and Munich/Frankfurt. Is this wrong? NO!! It comes with the territory, now that their countrymen have decided to wage terrorist war upon the rest of civilization. So live with it, certain ethnic groups, or YOU figure out some way to keep your scumbags off of my airplane. At some point in time, and I pray not because of another 9/11, our ACLU rear end kissing libs will understand that our best airport defense is to profile instead of wasting valuable screening resources on strip searches of babies and grannies in wheelchairs.
German security - dong the profiling to save lives that the TSA won't do.
