Why do conservatives always assume that anyone who doesn’t look like them must be a terrorist, while they blindly ignore the thousands of acts of terrorism that were committed by white males? (The IRA)
What's good for the goose is good for the gander jacka$$. What do you suggest, lock them all up under suspicion alone? Or have you forgotten about innocent until proven guilty?
This is still America you idiots.
Just out of curiosity, how many acts of terrorism did the IRA commit outside the borders of the UK? Was the IRA out to kill everyone who wasn't a member of the IRA?
Innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply to flying as a passenger on an airliner. That is not a right, it is a priveledge. If your wife or daughter was raped or killed by a 5'4" white male with dark hair, would you want the police to stop and question black males, hispanic males, and indian males about the crime? No, you would want the to stop and question 5'4" white males with dark hair. You need to get a clue. If you are trying to stop something from happening the way to do it is to scrutinize those that are most likely to perform whatever act you are trying to stop.
And nobody here is advocating locking up every middle age middle eastern male. We are advocating giving them some additional scrutiny. There is a big difference. When there is a law on the books that states that no more than 2 middle eastern males can be picked out per flight for additional screening because we might offend someone there is something seriously wrong.
