Reader comment on item: A Call for Intelligent Profiling[ by Frederick Schauer]

Submitted by gary loftus (Canada), Dec 30, 2003 at 12:00

I have been calling for profiling for years with family and friends. It just makes sense to watch for certain middle east people, who are probally muslim and may be militant muslims. Its such a waste of time to be thoroughly searching old grandpa,s and grandma,s at the airports.

Israel seems to have it right, and we can take a page from them,cause nobody knows terrorism like the Israelites, and when is the last time they have had a hijacking???

It is stupid to have these long lines, cause we might hurt someones feelings, Hey, we have a war on with militant muslims, who want to kill us in the industrial West.

Is it because they are backward, and are jealous of our advancement in the West???

I enjoy your wisdom on the Middle East, Mr Pipes, keep up your good work
