Lothar Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The difference being that you can profile middle-aged white men. But profile a black single mother, and it's a civil rights violation. 396507[/snapback] Coming from an intelligent ape like yourself, that's an inane comment ... Blame the ACLU!

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I am all for searching obvious suspects, but as a side note I am sure glad I am not middle eastern. Constantly thinking "Geez, I hope I dont look too suspicious on the way to the gym with my duffel bag, work with my briefcase", etc. I think I would just break down and carry my crap in a clear plastic bag.

Puhonix Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I agree. It's a great tool, we should use it. But it shouldn't be the only one in the bag. 396857[/snapback] Amen. Profile to your hearts content, but dont let someone slip by cause they dont meet the profile. Suspicious activity is faitly easy to pick out.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Standing still and saying "Yes officer, how may I help you?" is generally preferable to making a mad dash with your luggage... 396140[/snapback] So true. Fight or flight... Some people just can't weed that flight mechanism out of their nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
