When flying is everyone automatically concidered a "Terrorist?"If not,then why is everyonetreated likethey are

Answer 1

It has nothing to do with political correctness - though initially, it may have appeared that way.

What do they do before they want to pass something of importance or erode our rights further??? They have a trial run at it.

Think about the smoking ban - worldwide??? Originally it was only shopping centres, then restaurants, then airports, then certain areas, then total! (Maybe not in that order but you get my point.)

As the mind was softened to it all, the next step was bang! No smoking.

The same is happening here...it is 'random' searches that will eventually spread out from the airport, out into the 'burbs, then bang!

You think I am exaggerating? Look at other legislations passed and work it out for yourself.

We are dealing with some of the worlds best psychologists who understand human emotion to a T. If I kick you in the leg, you are going to kick me back...for every action there is a reaction...they know this.

Again, this is just another forerunner for the reduction of human rights... am still waiting to see the crisis that keeps Georgie in office.

Answer 2

I understand your concern. This is a direct result of our foolish policy that does not allow for profiling of terrorists. It would seem more logical to give special attention to those who fit the mold of a terrorist rather than shaking down 80 year old women, but Transportation sec Mineta, in charge after 9/11 refused to take that common sense measure. Unlike most of the efforts by the left to handcuff our efforts to fight terror, this one got through and now we all play that foolish game.

Answer 3

I quit flying after I was treated like a criminal. Not paying hundreds of dollars for that! Airport security looks suspiciously like nazi security for the Hindenburg.

Answer 4

Everyone? Just flew the other day, everyone was screened but no one was treated any differently than the next person in line. Security personnel were all polite and respectful.

Answer 5

And now we find out that the airports don't even bother to check their employees for citizenship! You would think the fact they didn't speak English would have tipped them off!

Answer 6

This is what we get for having a society based on fear. We're all guilty until proven innocent (or shot, whichever comes first).

Answer 7

Political Correctness basically makes it so we have to check everyone. Even though we all know that the only people we should be checking are people of middle eastern descent.

Answer 8

come on... think about this... our planes were taken over by terrorists that we "assumed" were not terrorists and flown into buildings that ultimately killed thousands of innocent people and left hundreds and hundreds of children without a parent or in some cases NO parent at all... not being suspicious is what allowed that to happen. if you don't like being checked don't fly... and if you weren't being checked you would wonder if there was a terrorist on your plane... and let me ask you this... does this ring a bell???

To spread the culture of paranoia & fear.

Answer 10
