do u think racial profiling in airports is wrong?

Answer 1

Should you check the bag of a seventy year old white woman or a twenty year old Arabic man? Or maybe we should just check everyone? Maybe we SHOULDN'T check the Arabic man just because he IS Arabic? Are you kidding me? Should there even be a question?

All of these people that are saying racial profiling is "bad" are completely out of touch with reality.

Answer 2

The last time I checked, I do not recall seeing any Japanese or Australian people trying to fly planes into buildings. So why should they be considered just as likely to be terrorists as the people group that is currently the source of ALL our attackers?

Also, racial profiling does NOT mean that those picked up are assumed to be guilty. What it does mean is that we are looking at the most likely suspects first, instead of bowing to political correctness and letting the people who ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE TERRORISTS go and then watching as the people who should have been detained blow up something important and kill a whole lot of people.

If all rapes in a 5 month period were committed by people from a single state, say, Kentucky (I apologise to all Kentucky people, I just needed a random state), wouldn't you expect your local police force to look a whole lot closer when a suspect had a Kentucky driver's license? Wouldn't you demand that officer's badge if he didn't? Wouldn't you cry for the impeachment of any judge who wouldn't rule someone guilty, despite the evidence, just because the suspect was first investigated because of the profiling? WHAT MAKES THIS ANY DIFFERENT?! Gosh.

Answer 3

I think before 9/11 every single American would most certainly agree it is wrong! My how things change when it is us directly that it affects! Unfortunately its a case that 98% of people are law abiding and the 2% makes it a bad situation. I think searches should be done in a non-discriminant manner but at the same time these people have a job to do. its a situation of near paranoia and stereo-typing.

Answer 4

Never thought I would say this, but no, I don't. Unfortunately, terrorist activities in this country have caused us to throw the rules out the window - and if profiling prevents another 9/11, I am all for a little intrusion on personal rights. This is a different world we are living in now.

Answer 5

No,
747 hijacked in the seventies
three 747 blowing up buildings
others I don't know off the top have been hijacked and blown up
by who?

Hmmm seems to me the africans, indians, chinese and Japaneese dont ring a bell here.
Sorry one bad apple makes you all look bad to everyone else.
I don't approve or like it but to be totally one hundred percent honest when I see an arab on a plane I'm terrified cause you all show no mercy, justice and are deviod of love.
Killing yourself and others is Judas

Answer 6

Yes, there's no real way to prevent bad things from happening. By now there are new plans being developed and civilians are still focused on planes. Of course, I do like the added security, but I don't think certain skin colors/religions should be treated differently.


* After being attacked by Japan we threw all of the Japanese into camps, and tore apart neighborhoods/families. How many of them do you actually think were involved?

* there is a difference between shooting a soldier that looks Japanese and taking aside every civilian of a certain race/religion.

Answer 7

Not at all. But it is just one aspect of suspect profiling that needs to be used. There are behavioral aspects and physical aspects.

But to not use racial profiling, considering there is a tendency for most (but not all!) terrorists to be from one particulary race, would be criminally negligent and the height of politically correct folly.

Sorry, but I don't want to die because of some appeasement of politically correct stupidity.

Answer 8

No, I think it's just, due to the history of terrorist races. The way to beat it is for the entire race to be innocent, then eventually, there will be no more racial profiling. As long as a middle-eastern terrrorist does something wrong outside his/her country, I fully support the racial profiling.

Answer 9

very last time I checked radical islam became not a race. in case you commence down that highway you may want to to boot commence good right here *Profile all Catholic clergymen as ability pedophiles *Profile all mid 20's Christan white men (Tim McVey) *Profile all teenage youngsters with black coats (Columbine Killers) the position do you supply up? ultimately you would ought to profile each and every man or woman.

Answer 10

wow, I see that many people have resigned themselves to give up their civil liberties but I guess fear will do that to you.
It's the same thing as "driving while black" in my reasoning.. My friends always complained that when driving in predominently white neighboorhoods, it didn't take long for a cop to show up. Their reason? Roberries were commonly committed by african americans. Now, I can understand the whole better safe than sorry thing. I understand that nobody wants to die ( or being robbed) because they were afraid to ruffle a few feathers.
It's sad and unfair isn't it?
Shoulda been born the right race, sorry. Coz we all know your average american white guy is innocent until proven guilty.
The rest of yall, you are guilty until proven innocent.
