Try having a British passport and traveling in America. I was put into a little glass room, so my pockets could be searched, along with the other major threat to America - an old Hasidimic guy with an Israeli passport.
Simple logic, terrorists are the enemy, the enemy are not us - therefore all foreigners (and only foreigners) are potential terrorists.
- tomsaffell 17y agoGeneralizing from a small data set is always dangerous. But seeing as you have, I will counter: I am British, I have traveled a lot in America, in the company of other foreigners, and I have never seen a shred of evidence that airport security is anti-British, nor that they suspect foreigners (and only foreigners) are potential terrorists. Are you being as fair to them as you expect them to be to you?
- yhnbhjiuok 17y agoIt was a definite - all foreign passports = extra security policy. I have hit this at a bunch of airports, including well known terrorist targets like Salt lake city. Wether it was the individual airport policy or DHS were at alert level fuchsia they didn't say. I'm just saying that as an intelligence led response it's a bit like Heathrow searching everybody who's surname begins with A because of Gerry Adams.
