Profiling people at airports? Lets play "Spot the Muslim/Terrorist"
shall we?
Here's a photo of one of Iran's top soccer stars - would you be able to
pick him out as a "Muslim" and therefore a potential terrorist who
should be profiled?

Here's another Muslim - would you be able to spot him?

This fellow would obviously be entitled to a free pass:

How about this fellow - oh he must REALLY be one of them sneaky
muslims, what with those dark swarthy looks. Why, he's even wearing
sheets!

Course, this fellow is arguably swarthy, but that's because his father
is Jamaican ( you know, Axis of Evil Jamaica?)

How about this fellow - no problem letting him on board the airplane,
since he's neither a Muslim nor particularly swarthy

(Carlos the Jackal, FYI)
Hmm... Turbans, Beards, funny religious practices. Oh my! These fellows
should DEFINITELY be singled out!

And this guy - a Christian fellow named George. Nah, can't be a
terrorist. Let him on board without a second glance.

Oh wait - what about this guy. Why, with all that red hair, he's
obviously Irish!

Yes the sooner we stick to profiling them suspiciously swarthy
"Muslim" people the safer we'll all be. Amen.

"profiling" is just narrowing down or refining your search so you aren't
wasting resources looking at everyone.
It's plain common-sense.

Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), thelasian said in
rec.autos.driving:

Is this profiling occuring during the DRIVE to or the DRIVE from the
airport? And what do we call it DWA (Driving while Arab), DWM (Driving
While Muslim) or DWPOT (Driving While Posting Off Topic)??
