ink.net... Unfortunately, "effective" is also known as "racial profiling". If they singled out the following for close scruitiny, the legal system in our country would not permit it: I should hope not. It's much easier to decide it's worth it for millions of innocent people to suffer indignities and loss of freedom if *you're* assured not to be among them. If you have to share the burden, you're more likely to protest against excessive intrusions. Young adult and middle age adult non-resident arab appearing men with Arabic surnames. Then your profiling will miss Richard Reid (for example), a British citizen of white and Jamaican descent with a non-Arab surname. (Some people think he has an "Arab appearance", but if so it's coincidental, as that is not his heritage.) This is the profile of the group that committed the 9/11 atrocities and is the target population for recruiting by terrorist causes. Pilots also figure prominently among the group that committed the 9/11 atrocities. In fact, the percentage of pilots in the US who carried out the 9/11 attacks is greater than the percentage of Muslims in the US who carried out the attacks. So if you were to have selected a pilot at random for screening (without regard to religion or ethnicity), you'd be more likely to have selected a 9/11 hijacker than you'd be if instead you were to have selected a Muslim at random for screening (without regard to pilot status). --Gary |

Were the perpetrators of the 9/11 atrocities pilots, or were they terrorists that had received sufficient flight training for that specific operation? |

Nor were they astronauts, or neurosurgeons. I merely noted that several of them were pilots; you mistakenly asserted above that "NONE!" were pilots. --Gary |

I merely noted that several of them were pilots; you mistakenly asserted above that "NONE!" were pilots. They weren't engaged in space travel or performing neurosurgery. They were flying 757/767s, none of them were 757/767 pilots. |
