of keeping us safe? Has the entire world gone completely MAD ? The Israelis are definitely doing something right, ... as always. Why are other countries who really and truly want to keep their citizens safe not following the tried and trusted methods of the Israelis ? Could it be because they don't want to learn from a tiny little country that has the best record ever in keeping their airports and planes the safest in the world? That must be it. It's not because they don't want to do racial profiling .... it's because they don't want to admit that "the Israelis were right as usual.... damn them."
Another drawback that these seemingly "politically correct" nations like the USA, Canada and others are facing now is the cold hard fact that they don't want their moslem buddies in those moslem countries and at home to criticize them for going by the "Israeli methods of profiling".... no, no, no.... that will antagonize those nice muzzies because it will look like we are doing the cha-cha and the jive and rapping around too, with their sworn enemy. Big NO NO !!!
It's as simple as that.... trust a dodo like me to tell you what's so obvious.
.....Airport security in the Western world is based not on detecting potential terrorists, but on what people might be carrying. The Israelis, on the other hand, concentrate on profiling those who might be terrorists — and Israeli airlines are the safest in the world.At some point — maybe now — we have got to amend airport security and start profiling those likely to blow the damn plane up — not patting down three-year-old children.
Airport security now gets indignant if a passenger boarding a plane is carrying lip balm or an opened bottle of water.
We’ve just had a Chinese guy trying to board a plane in Hong Kong wearing a fake head, supposedly making him look like an old white man.
Passengers weren’t fooled and thought it odd, but the airline people didn’t care — guess they were more concerned with passengers carrying a nail file.
We’ve had shoe bombers and underwear bombers — none of whom were detected by airline security, but by other passengers in flight. Something isn’t working.
And now we have the possibility Muslim women should be exempt from indignities airport safety inflicts on everyone else. That’s even nuttier than all the other impositions that make air travel uncomfortable, undignified and offensive.
For some inexplicable reason, we assume “profiling” is racial and therefore discriminatory and prohibited. ....
