WHY RACIAL PROFILING WILL NOT WORK . . .

in our war on terrorism. The mentally ill could be targeted to get past security easily. How many people do you know without mental problems, that think that the government is out to "get us", who would be willing to carry out some type of attack or just smuggle the items needed on board?? The L/O/L (little Old lady) who has no family and friend who has dementia could be used to bypass security in order to get bomb-making materials or other explosives on board a flight.

I mean, if we start profiling the "middle eastern males, aged 18-40" then the terrorists are smart enough to get around that profiling. I think that they have made their point that no matter what, they will find ways to try and "wipe us off the map". Obviously, security in the UK needs beefed up some more if this woman got all those items on board. Our security has holes in it too.

But what is scary is that no matter what it is that we ban on flights, the terrorists will find some other way to get around it and while we are concentrating on what is going on in the sky, they will blow up our chemical plants here on the ground. . . .
