profiling carrys the seeds for fail
I'm sure you're assuming all profiling is race based.
El Al personnel are trained to sniff out things that just ain't right. One way last minute cash flights. Nervous passengers. No luggage. Passport has all stamps from places that breed terrorists.
No, it ain't perfect.
But here it is:
1) There is no Constitutional duty nor right for the Government to provide airport screening.
2) There is a right to not be subjected to unreasonable
search and seizure
3) Criminals and suspects get frisked. An American citizen flying should not be treated as an immediate suspect of a crime
4) The airline industry is a private enterprise. The Government is interceding into a private transaction
5) Basic human dignity. I should not have to worry about the TSA fondling my wife's boobs just so I can enter into a private contract with a private company to provide a service
6) Its an illusion of security. Checkpoints themselves are targets. And how long until we get a rectal-bomber?
7) When is enough enough?
8) We were lied to, right to our faces. They have told us they won't save the images. Lie.
9) The quality of TSA employees is suspect at best. These people get to look at me naked?
