Do you think behavioral profiling should be allowed at the airports?

Answer 1

yes, it is a must for security. I can't imagine why it would even be questioned

Answer 2

i think they already to much to "keep us safe". Really it is to make us feel safe. They almost never stop anything. Most safety measures are just to make people feel better that they are doing something.

If someone wants to kill you they can. If someone wants to blow up a plain they can. All we really can do is make them work a little harder and make consequences for after it happens. Not so effective against suicide bombers but hey that is why they are so effective.

That is why Saddam would kill the family of the terrorists in his country. It is one thing to give up your life it is an entirely different matter when you know if you do something your family will be killed for it. This is however "evil" note why we can't control Iraq now that he is gone. Because all the people over there are willing to give there lives to kill each other. I know most people cannot understand that but it is the way it is.

I would say we are already plenty safe from terrorists since lighting kills more people each year in the US then terrorists do. it was beaten out 1 year, 2001. Oh and the Oklahoma city made it a close run that year but did not bring the numbers high enough for terrorism to win.

I would say if you want to improve safety get more drunks off the street they kill more people each month then terrorists do each year. Who is the bigger threat?

Answer 3

Lucky to achieve a 70% success rate, behavior profiling does not provide an assurance potential acceptable to standard building security personnel, so why should a more critical industry as air travel accept it.

Answer 4

yes- have you seen the people that usually get pulled off to the side for the *extra* pat down? Come on...there are many more suspicous looking people boarding the plane than the ones they *randomly* pull off to the side! The sad thing is if that would happen there would be all kinds of issues of the security people being *racist* and all

Answer 5

This has been in place for countless years and helps staff determine if an intoxicated person is trying to board, in which case their could be risk to the flight.

In the example of the prayer-muttering, brief-casing clutching person.....ever heard of...fear of flying? But still, that person would receive some support and attempt to quell their anxiety. And if they are a risk, they get turfed too.

Answer 6

hmmm I think not...

If it ever occured, then every person who is scared to death of flying, will probably be pulled from the plane and frisked and photographed and all that, because they think they may be a future terrorists!

I will not fly, anymore...(It always scared me silly, and I am not afraid to admit it)...

And, I wouldnt take a flight, if they offered me any amount of money, or threatened my life! It just isnt for me...

I wish you well...

Answer 7

Do you think wierd, strange, anxious looking suspicious people should be allowed to board you flight hugging their carry on bags tightly and mummering prayers to them selves???

Dude in this day and age, I wish we had 1 seater aeroplanes...Im not travelling with nobody.

Answer 8

Yes, and I think Muslims should not even be allowed ON a damn plane.

Answer 9

Sure,Isnt that what security people are doing anyway?Or should be doing..Maybe it will get even tighter now that terrorists are in the headlines again, so thats cool with me..

Answer 10

yes
