CAIR: Don't racial profile after airline incidents December 27, 2009 23:04 EST
SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Muslim advocacy group is urging passengers, crews and security personnel to avoid ethnic and religious "profiling" in the wake of the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight in Detroit on Christmas Day.
In a statement, Ibrahim Hooper of the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations says, "While everyone supports robust airline security measures, racial and religious profiling are in fact counterproductive and can lead to a climate of insecurity and fear.""

Murderous psychopaths living in a climate of fear and insecurity can't be a bad thing.
I would feel very secure if they began profiling, if they implemented EL AL standards.
It is alarming the number of non-arab muslims being recruited. That being said, we have no option but to implement ethnic and racial profiling.
I have a fondness for a certain American airline, but in these times, the ONLY airline I would take if I was so inclined to get on an airplane would be El Al.
Making lutefisk is a terrorist act.
Not me. Nope, I'm definitely not racist. I look at their religion and their ethnicity when I profile.
Racist? Me? No way! I'm just an old fashioned bigot!
OPINION:
Thinking out of the box like you are Perchant; I do want the confirmed jihadis to live in fear of being caught 24/7.
The problem with jihadis is that they don’t care about dying and going to Hell; unlike normal people who value life.
Thank you for your kind words. I’ll pass along your thanks to my son. FYI, the twins will make grandchildren no 5 and 6, and will also give us three grandsons and three grandaughters.
Good for you. You're prepared. Be prepared.
You’re welcome Tigerized.
BOOKMARK
OK. Fine are they muslim?
I'll bet 10 to 1 there will now be a huge increase in REVERSE profiling.
I wonder if El Al executives realize we would be willing to pay higher prices for secure flights. If only they would expand their operations, although I am certain they would be sued by the ACLU.
Continuous racial profiling could lead to terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda recruiting terrorists who do not look distinctly Arab, e.g. Bosnian Muslim, in order to evade racial profiling.

I think it is banned by all civilized nations. (not saying that Norway isn’t civilized... or am I :>)
Jasper Schuringa profiled.
He recognized the fact that a young African guy with a lit bomb in his lap looked kind of suspicious, so he jumped on him.
Frankly, I think it’s necessary to profile long before the fuse is lit, like at the boarding gate or better yet out in the streets and in the mosques (Sarah Palin supports profiling).
Looks like it’ll be up to individual citizens to do the profiling (without breaking any laws of course).
