I never said what you claim I said in that post. Did I?

Please, use actual quotes when quoting me.

Are you still trying to evade your own words? Serious. Either you don't know how to properly write your own thoughts or you don't know what it is you're saying. Either way. How would your machine/system work for flights coming in from Arab/Muslim countries?
 
apdst said:
I don't think that's it at all. I think it has more to do with people assuming they know what I mean and turning up sadly mistaken. I see a certain pattern, but whatever.

Please explain:

1) Exactly what groups you believe should receive this extra screening,
2) Exactly how the screeners should identify people of those groups,
3) Exactly what this extra screening should entail, and
4) Exactly where this extra screening should take place (before boarding planes, entering malls, buying guns, etc.)

You've failed to show me my own words. Are you able to read, at all?

Folks who fit the profile of Islamic terrorists.

By appearance and behavior.

Additional scrutiny, specifically a questioning process designed to rattle the suspect and make them slip up.

Which is?

By appearance and behavior.

What parts? Describe the appearance and behavior of an Islamic terrorist.

Oh wow, that would certainly be effective! Damn arabs are obviously too stupid to answer a question posed by a 75 IQ TSA agent.

Stupid question.

How on earth is that a stupid question? I'm asking how broadly you're proposing to apply these additional security procedures. Is it just for people boarding planes, or does it apply to those buying sniper rifles or entering military bases? If it's only the former, then doesn't that make you "another one that believes that doing nothing is the answer? How stupid is that?"

Under Adpst's rule, we'd be questioning those wearing turbans while the real Islamic Terrorist, clean shaven and Somalian creeps right on by.

It's actually simple. You simply point and state "Arab?" and check him out.

I understand what an Arab is, but that does not mean that Islamic Terrorists are Arabic.

The problem is Islamic Terrorism not Arabism.
 
MSgt said:
Ha.... "terroristy-looking." Coin that one.
Click to expand...

I can just see the TSA poster already.

Terroristy-looking guy, needs extra screening:

Non-terroristy looking guy, wave him through:

Everyone else: Use your discretion (feel free to be lazy and just wave them through).

So we're not going to get an actual answer out of you.

Don't know why I expected anything different, but can't say I didn't put in the effort.

Terrorists would never think of shaving their beards and taking off the turbans.

Of course not. Terrorists are uncoordinated and incapable of conforming to various levels of resistance. This is exactly why the most powerful military in the history of the world is not currently launching massive counter-terrorist operations in the black-hole of the world.

Someone once said that the traits we most readily attribute to others (e.g. one-dimensional reasoning or linear thinking) are those which are most reflective of ourselves.

That someone was pretty spot on.

Yet, the vast majority are Arabic and to be even more definitive...Sunni. Again...why excuse the obvious for fear of the exception?

Do the numbers. The problem is Sunni Arabism across the region and internationally.

Internationally, which is what we are talking about, the problem is less with Arabs and more with homegrown Terrorism, as seen in Russia, Mumbai, and London.

Would you expect another attack in India to be perpetrated by Pakistanis or Yemenis?

The guy was trying to blow up a plane with 220 passengers on it. Of course it was terrorism.

What isn't know is if this was a plot dictated by a specific terrorist organization or just some crazy guy.
