I am glad to hear that at least one western government is sane.

[joyce11111]

That is what should be done. Not the PC attitude that we have here.

[Battleofbritain]

It's not gonna happen. It's still just being discussed and now the self-appointed "moderate muslim" leaders are going to go beserk.

[tubebender]

Let's hope this spreads to the US...

[Dog Gone]

Philip Baum, an aviation security consultant, said that profiling should focus on ruling out people who obviously posed no risk rather than picking out Asian or Arabs.

Sounds good except that this is a distinction without a difference.

[Calpernia]

B.B.B.!

IOW, Big Brit Bump!

[strange1]

But it would cause outrage in the Muslim community because its members would be far more likely to be selected for extra checks.

Boo Phocking Hoo.

[Lizavetta]

BEcause there is at least one terrorist (Timothy McVeigh) who is not Middle Eastern, it is therefore safe to assume that other non-Middle Eastern men could be terrorists.....leading to the inescapable conclusion that profiling Middle Easterners is racist and wrong.

And as we all know, NOTHING - not murder, not rape, not genocide, not torture - NOTHING is worse than to have a racist mindset.

God help us and save us from our sold-out leaders.

[Yaelle]

This is smart. Two checkpoints.

THOSE WHO PRAY TO ALLAH and

THOSE WHO DO NOT PRAY TO ALLAH ought to cover it.

[nopardons]

Good news, but how are they going to spot the white or black converts, if they shave and/or wear western garb?

[kittymyrib]

"...there is a real risk of criminalising minority communities.”

No need for the police to do that. The Muslim community in England is doing a bang up job of turning itself into a criminal community when the police are looking into SEVENTY terrorist plots now, with hundreds of Muslim suspects.

[PureSolace]

The passenger-profiling technique involves selecting people who are behaving suspiciously, have an unusual travel pattern or, most controversially, have a certain ethnic or religious background.

Bring This Practice to the US! We must not allow Islamic Fascists to continue to kill us!

[lexington minuteman 1775]

The Amishadeen will strike you when you are least suspecting it!

[traditional1]

Why not just make those in line eat pork before they enter the screening area?

[ncountylee]

The threat of nude searches will keep the Islamoslimes from flying. Kind of like sissies in that regard.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A breakthrough. Recognizing the obvious is the first step towards a cure.

[ErieGeno]

Seems to me that this is a no-brainer. Since 100% of the attacks on the west have been from Muslims in the last 30 years, IMHO all muslim people ought to be suspect......

[stripes1776]

THE Government is discussing with airport operators plans to introduce a screening system that allows security staff to focus on those passengers who pose the greatest risk.

It's about time. Muslims should be profiled and checked before boarding any plane.

[aculeus]

The muslims had their chance. They could have organized anti-terror demos, gone on tv condemning it, etc.

They deserve to be treated -- everyone last one of them -- as suspect.

[Alouette]

already causing anger and mistrust among young Muslims. Tarique Ghaffur, an assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said: “We must think long and hard about the causal factors of anger and resentment.

How about the Muslims think long and hard about the causal factors of OUR anger and resentment?

It's time for that backlash they have been waiting for.

[garyhope]

Bout damn time. Days late, dollars and pounds short.

Now if we can just convince the PC police in America to think rationally and pragmatically to protect us from the Islamofascist war on Western Civilization, freedom, Israel and the Jews.
