Reader comment on item: Should airport security procedures include ethnic and religious profiling?
Submitted by Judeo-Christ (Canada), Nov 19, 2006 at 09:46
Why are we concerned about ethnic profiling of Middle-Easterners and Moslems when every Moslem country in the world does ethnic profiling as well as religious profiling?
Not only that; the law is totally biased in favor of Moslems over non-Moslems. Saudi Arabia is a case in point and what has our friend Amnesty international done about it ?
