Pat Downs and Profiling. Political Correctness Gone Astray!

Passenger profiling needed as well as scanners, airlines chief warns... Security can only be guaranteed by making a risk assessment of people before they are even board an aircraft, said Giovanni Bisignani, director general of the International Air Transport Association.

"Instead of looking for bad things—nail clippers and rogue bottles of shampoo—security systems need to focus on finding bad people," he said.

Mr Bisignani's warning came as airlines face additional security demands following the unsuccessful attempt to blow up a transatlantic flight on Christmas day by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a former London University student and known Muslim extremist. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/6921458/Passenger-profiling-needed-...

    • This is the opposite of political correctness. Political correctness seeks to go to whatever ends not to offend or violate people rights which in it's own way can be annoying but this is offensive to everyone who has to put up with this crap. I hope we all refuse to be subjected to this. There comes a point where all this so called protection becomes worse than what we are protecting ourselves from.

      Explain to me how we can tell the difference between a muslim and a muslim extremist and you can do whatever the fuck you like to the latter group (you can go ahead throw in any other groups that are religious extremist while we're at it).
