Why Profiling is a Bad Idea, or at Least Not an Efficiant One.

The following was an emal forwarded to me by one of my family members, and my response. I get a lot of such emails but this was so rife with mis-information that I couldn’t help myself.

That’s all well and good but for the fact that you can’t be an Islamist extremist if you’re Christian, which some of them were, including the person who killed Robert Kennedy. Or that Russia isn’t it the middle east even though you’ve got to defect again to get away from thereApparently hockey players are having issues. Or that the hostages in Moscow were taken by Chechnyanians and killed by Russians (instead of negociating) so A is more correct than d.. Not to belittle our undertrained airport security but sparks can be had by utilizing items already found on planes by regluar UK citizens not just Islamist UK Citizens. Besides there is always Oklahoma, in case we’re playing selective memory games. Considering the
facist leanings of our own governmental agency’s such as the cdc, I think we have a lot more to worry about that Islamist Extremist, though while dangerous, are winning have won every battle as the goverment takes our freedoms away for protection.

History is such an odd thing to take at face value.
