when he queried why the Arabs also bording where not searched the official replied that if they searched them they would be criticised as predudice. Does this 'political correctness' worry you?

Selecting people when there is good reason to select them is not racism

Yes it does. Profiling is a must. But there needs to be more than racial heritage considered. Age, Sex, Nationality, Religion all need to be considered.

yes, this does worry me... we're going to be so politicly correct (as a nation) that it's going to get to the point that any crime done by arab's( or many other groups) will simply be over looked because it could be profiling to arrest them or some thing else...
being pc i think is ok in speach, but once you say profiling is a bad thing, then we start not being able to find people that break the law...
if a woman get's raped, she doesn't know the person who did it... so she describes the person to the police. if he's a person from the middle east, no matter how posative that she is about this, when looking for this person the police can't take that into consideration... that's stupid because it'll eliminate a huge amount of people by just saying that...
Alwell...

Assuming everything the reporter said was true, yes I would find that disturbing. I wonder what he meant by "searched 3 times". We all go through multiple layers of security before boarding a plane.

Kind of. The Arabs should be the first ones to be searched. People may say that that is racist of me to say, but they will be sorry when they get searched, the Arabs boarding behind them do not and the plane gets hijacked and then they die.
