And The Brits Are Ahead Of Us Again

".....(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."

"Sir Rod Eddington, former chief executive of British Airways, criticised the random nature of security searches. He said that it was irrational to subject a 75-year-old grandmother to the same checks as a 25-year-old man who had just paid for his ticket with cash."

No Sh*t Sherlock. Tell that to the P.C. Brigade here.

Then you've got this pinhead...."the highest-ranking Muslim police officer in Britain gave warning that profiling techniques based on physical appearance were already causing anger and mistrust among young Muslims."

What's new. Are the angry, mistrustful ones these guys????
