Am I the only one who thinks we actually should do racial profiling or background profiling? Like martin said, all this TSA security crap is mostly a waste of time and there are easier ways for terrorists (I feel) to attack planes if they wanted to. Bribes to various workers seem the easiest way or better yet, start them young and have them work and move up in the system while all alone, they work for the bad folks (like those movies). There’s just this “ohhh, it’s so not fair, it’s racial profiling, etc etc…” I say just live with it and that’s unfortunate this is the world we live in now.
At least with profiling, you go after the most obvious folks and don’t waste time on little 3 year old girls or 65 year old grandma’s who would be stopped easily by other passengers.
In my list, men of age 12-65 probably are higher risk. Anyone from those suspected problem countries. Single men traveling alone. For business travelers, maybe they can start using retinal, finger print scanning and compare records with companies or something else.
Just publicize it and in the future, when we go to war with China, I’ll probably just have to spend 5 hours in a room for a nice security pat down before my flight. That alone would deter a lot of terrorist since they know they will be vetted for 5 hours already and how will you gang meet up if all of you would be checked?
Honestly, after 9/11, I think the other passengers would stop most threats since they all probably figure they will die anyways if something occurred so for all we know, Bin Laden is just laughing at the US now with the waste of time/money and they aren’t really doing any attacks in this area now.
I’m sure they are focusing on something that we aren’t checking similar to how virus writers work, etc…
