"Gary Drescher" wrote: Pilots also figure prominently among the group that committed the 9/11 atrocities. In fact, the percentage of pilots in the US who carried out the 9/11 attacks is greater than the percentage of Muslims in the US who carried out the attacks. So if you were to have selected a pilot at random for screening (without regard to religion or ethnicity), you'd be more likely to have selected a 9/11 hijacker than you'd be if instead you were to have selected a Muslim at random for screening (without regard to pilot status). how many of the 9/11 pondscum were pilots? -- Bob Noel looking for a sig the lawyers will like |

They were flying 757/767s, none of them were 757/767 pilots. |

Objectively speaking, the #1 job of the TSA is to prevent another 9/11-style hijacking. While we can argue that Thousands Standing Around is at turns rude, inefficient, and as kafkaesque as every other bureaucracy, we have not had another 9/11. I've traveled ~300k miles commercial since 9/11 so I know what a pain it is. Perhaps the TSA has nothing to do with the fact that we haven't seen another suicide hijacking here. There haven't been any elephant stampedes in Central Park, either... |

wrote in message ... Irrelevant. Actually, it's completely relevant. His point was that if you profiled pilots instead of Arabs, you would have had a greater proablility of a hit on a 9/11 hijacker. Would we? What fraction of worldwide terrorism is perpetrated by Arabs and what fraction is perpetrated by pilots? |
