I SAY YES...
THE NOTION THAT IF YOU SUBJECT ONE PERSON TO AN ENHANCED SEARCH YOU HAVE TO SEARCH EVERYONE...IS NUTS...!
CLEARLY...SOME NATIONALS ARE MORE SUSPECT THAN OTHERS... PEOPLE FROM MUSLIM NATIONS...NEED TO BE SEARCHED MORE CAREFULLY THAN NATIONALS FROM SWEDEN...
WHY? WELL SWEDES ARE NOT BLOWING UP THINGS AND THREATENING THE WEST WITH TERRORISM...YET.
DISCRIMINATION AT THE BORDERS IS COMMON...FOR EXAMPLE...AN AMERICAN TRAVELING ON A US PASSPORT...IS HELD UP AT EUROPEAN BORDERS LONGER...THAN THOSE PEOPLE TRAVELING ON EU PASSPORTS...
THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME KIND OF ALGORITHM DEVELOPED TO HANDLE SCREENINGS...IN AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT WAY... FOR EXAMPLE...MORE MALES THAN FEMALES...MORE YOUNG THAN OLD...MORE MUSLIMS THAN NON-MUSLIMS...MORE NON-WESTERN THAN WESTERNERS...
THIS SIMPLY HAS TO BE DONE... THESE ARE NOT ARBITRARY AND EVIL DISCRIMINATIONS... THESE ARE TIMES OF WAR...AND EXCEPTIONAL MEASURES ARE NEEDED...AND THEY NEED TO BE RATIONAL...
OR DO YOU WANT TO BE HELD UP AT THE AIRPORT...WHILE SECURITY X-RAYS THE CROTCH OF AN 80 YEAR OLD GRAND MOTHER FROM NORTH DAKOTA...?
JUST SO SOME 20 YEAR OLD MUSLIM DUDE...TRAVELING ALONE...FROM YEMEN...OR SOMALIA...WON'T "FEEL DISCRIMINATED AGAINST?"
BULLSHIT! LET'S START PROFILING...! BIG TIME...
