Here's the thing NJ; Homeland Security has already instructed TSA not to conduct pat downs and body scans on women wearing burqas because it violates their religious beliefs. They can only be sent through the metal detectors. Now what does that rule open the doors to?
Just says to me that they still aren't doing their job. It may leave them open for a lawsuit but it does not change the fact that Americans are giving up their freedom and they are doing it for no real protection in return.
They want to be sensitive to the cultural or religious beliefs of Muslims when it comes to women going through the body scan and pat downs; but at the same time, they don't give a rip about anyone else's beliefs regarding the same thing.
This has been said over and over and I'll say it again. It wasn't a black or white male or female that declared a jihad on the US and then hijacked four commercial aircraft for the sole purpose of killing thousands of Americans. To signal a white haired senior citizen who is caucasion of black out of a line of travelers for the purpose of givng a body scan or pat down while ignoring the Muslim men in that same line is ridiculous.
Profiling is a very effective tool in preventing crime, yet the liberals in our government find it to be "insensitive." I've been a police officer and speak from personnel experience. I was patroling an affluent neighborhood of mostly white people live. Just after 2:30 a.m, I observed an older Buick that was a rust bucket on wheels. This was a car nobody in this neighborhood would be caught driving. I observed three black males in the car as it passed through the intersection I was stopped at. I observed the car 15 minutes later still driving very slowly through the neighborhood. They didn't fit the profile of people who lived there. In fact, they fit the profile of people who would be looking for a home to break into. However, they could have been lost.
I pulled them over and asked them if they were lost. The said they weren't. I asked them where they were going. They said they were just driving around. I asked them again where they were going. They said they weren't going anywhere in particular. I asked the driver for his license. He came back with he wasn't doing anything wrong. I reminded him Michigan required all drivers to be licensed and as a police officer it was my responsibility to verify he was indeed a licensed driver. He had a worried look on his face and gave me his license. I radioed in the information and dispatch informed me there was a warrant out for his arrest for Breaking and Entering. A few minutes later, another officer pulled up to assist.
We searched the vehicle and found a semi-automatic handgun, burglary tools, and other items that were later determined to be stolen during a B&E of another home. All three ended up being arrested that night. My profiling prevented other homes from being broken into and burglarized that night. It was profiling that prevented them from comitting other crimes for the next few years due to their incarceration in state lodging. All three of them had at least one other prior conviction.
So when profiling like this is so effective, why are the liberals so opposed to it?
