How could it be easily determined by the average TSA employee at the airports or other police and security-types elswhere that someone looks like they are from the "evil" Middle East? The folks I have seen in charge of security seem to have enough problems just figuring out what they are really looking for in someone's bag.<BR/><BR/>When I read the Krauthammer piece, I got the image of the scene between Glenda and Dorothy in the 1939 class movie <I>The Wizard of Oz</I>, "Are you a good witch or a bad witch"? Dorothy replied, "Oh, but I'm not a witch at all"!Minerva Oblongatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07900808966058331849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13470103.post-1122651531445187492005-07-29T11:38:00.000-04:002005-07-29T11:38:00.000-04:00I knew Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph were young, but I had no idea they were Middle Eastern. I also had no idea that Pakistan or Jamaica -- where bombers have hailed from -- were in the Middle East. Or perhaps you're referring to the Middle Eastern terrorists who flew planes into buildings in the States, and did so by using box cutters -- not bombs. If we're to profile anyone, we should focus on young men. That's it.Baylen Linnekinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13547839450448742853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13470103.post-1122650781457896042005-07-29T11:26:00.000-04:002005-07-29T11:26:00.000-04:00No, ethnic profiling would be a good thing. Every bomber so far has, in fact, been a young, middle-eastern man. They have been the easiest to recruit. If we searched more of them, we would make it more difficult for terrorists. Why is this so difficult for people to admit to themselves? Who cares if it's racist? It would work.<BR/><BR/>To make it harder for them to just get different looking folks, we still search a random amount of everyone. Middle eastern looking young men would get searched more often, but everyone would still be searched.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
