The only effective way to capture terrorists is to do profiling, however thats is considered to be politically incorrect, Whenever someone complains about prof

  No. You are jumping to conclusions on what I said because you have prejudices on what profiling is and those prejudices have made it politically incorrect. http://youtu.be/j80trPqKTLA http://youtu.be/j80trPqKTLA And of course there are other terrorist than dark skinned Muslims. And I know from experience living in Norway when Breivik struck, so please take your prejudices else where.

    There are two views of israeli profiling. One, that its the greatest thing in the world because it is so comprehensive and egalitarian. Then, there is the opinion of most arabs who have had to suffer through it. They tend to think it is just as crappy as any other racial profiling. http://972mag.com/another-response-to-jeffrey-goldbergs-praise-of-israels-airport-security/38642/ http://972mag.com/another-response-to-jeffrey-goldbergs-prai... Even if you buy the egalitarian story about israeli profiling, it is ridiculous to think that (a) their state of constant war is anything like that in the west and (b) that what they do at airports should be applied to the entire population of the USA.

      No solution is perfect and there will always be people who get mistreated by racisms, sexism, prejudice etc. That is unavoidable. What you have to do is to chose the least worse solution. So instead of violating a smaller number of peoples rights the US chose to violate everybody's rights with the TSA and the NSA. Even us who is not even living in the US or plan to go there. The defenders then try to hide behind it with the argument that is fair, because everybody is mistreated. No it isn't. Violating several millions people is far worse than a few thousands. Especially violating peoples rights that can't even remotely be classified as a US person, like me. And what was the end result of this nonsense US policy? Boston bombings. Why? Because if you make everyone a suspect that is the same as saying there is no suspects. In all of these cases, there where signs, but officials chose to ignore them because it is politically incorrect to profile on suspicious behavior and appearance.

        Have you ever been to Israel? Israeli style screening would mean interviews for every person flying to the USA. It would be more inconvenient and expensive than even the current TSA.
        • fetbaffe 13y ago
          I does not make sense to interview persons in the US about why they will fly to US, so no.

        So instead of violating a smaller number of peoples rights the US chose to violate everybody's rights So your argument is, it's better to mistreat a small group of people (to which you presumably don't belong) rather than a large group of people. Seems to me you've bought into the baseline fallacy that deliberately mistreating innocent people is A-OK.
        • fetbaffe 13y ago
          No, I don't think it is ok. I never said that, it's you who are putting words in my mouth. What I'm saying is that mistreating millions is far worse than mistreating a few thousands. Understand the difference.

  Breivik did not kill anybody in the USA. As for muslims extremists and al qaida folks, it's easy to profile them, they are all muslims...
  • bediger4000 13y ago
    White nationalists in the USA are muslim? Look up a nice, christian organization named "Covenant, Sword and Arm of the Lord". That will change your mind.

      Strictly, the parent said "Muslim extremists are all Muslims," which shouldn't be terribly controversial but also isn't terribly interesting.
  • Amadou 13y ago
    As for muslims extremists and al qaida folks, it's easy to profile them, they are all muslims. Which is completely useless since 99.99% of muslims aren't "al qaida folks."
    • dllthomas 13y ago
      This is not the reason it is completely useless.
