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?
http://www.teammelli.com/Players/StatsAzizi.htm

Here's another Muslim - would you be able to spot him?
http://www.votolatino.com.ar/2003/fotos/catstevens.jpg

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?)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1731568.stm

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!
http://www.pilgrimage-india.com/indian-religion/sikh-religion.html

And this guy - a Christian fellow named George. Nah, can't be a
terrorist. Let him on board without a second glance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Habash

Oh wait - what about this guy. Why, with all that red hair, he's
obviously Irish!
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/iraq/al-douri.htm

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

Did'ja notice that the web page says he played his first inbternational
game about 11 years before he was born? What a talent!

You win a medal for catching a typo.

"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)??
