[QUOTE="soberups, post: 656127, member: 14668"] I am a accquainted with a guy who was born in Turkey. Turks are ethnically distinct from Arabs, but he is well aware of the fact that most Americans are unable to tell the difference. He gets profiled in the airports, and it doesnt bother him one bit. He wants the same thing everyone else on the plane wants; for the flight to [I]not[/I] get hijacked. Since the overwhelming majority of airline hijackings over the last 40 years have been committed by males of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent, prudence demands that such persons be given extra scrutiny. That isnt racism, its common sense. Infants and 74 year old Caucasian women arent the ones doing the hijackings, so it is idiotic to subject them to pointless and exhaustive security checks in order to maintain the illusion that the security screenings are color and gender neutral.
