Scary Article about an airline flight with 14 Middle Eastern Men

You did read the part of the story describing all the behavior of the men,
right?

I read the entire thing, first word to last.

You seem to think that having olive skin makes one exempt from being
observed.

If you would bother to pay attention, you'd understand that's not what I'm
saying.

It's not that one olive-skinned men made one sideways glance at
another olive-skinned man. The story described apparent coordinated
behavior.

That doesn't justify the treatment they got.

Box cutters were not illegal on Sept 11. I don't exactly how the "mace"
made it on the aircraft, but ask anyone that has worked the ramp at an
airport, get a job in any number of ground service jobs, or make alliance
with someone in such a job, and you can pretty much smuggle a pink
elephant
on to the aircraft.

Of course you can. No amount of security will prevent that. Humans are
falliable and corruptable, and there's always a way to beat the system.
That's my point? Why should we spend our lives in a panic, about something
we have no way to fix?

I guarantee you that just as I did in the past I can
get a job with a catering or fueling contractor. Once you get the job you
will have opportunity to secret items on the aircraft, even under the new
rules.

I never said you wouldn't. I have no idea why you think I did, or why you
think this particular train of thought is relevant.

It's not racist to notice the description of people. Even if it was
racist,
asking a question is not a hardship.

Now I'm wondering if YOU read the article. The men were inconvenienced a
LOT more than just being asked a question or two.

If you or anyone of any description is so sensitive that being asked a
question is interpreted as persecution, stay home or fly on ACLU airlines.

Now I'm pretty certain you didn't bother to read the entire article. Please
come back when you have.
