well read up on them, because they could probably prevent a tragedy from happening even if the potential perpetrator was a clean-cut white businessman.

It's called behavioral profiling.

The people in the above pictures didn't get on planes, now did they.

How many white clean cut bussiness men blow up planes?
They should profile. I was profiled for years.

I am equal opportunity and will throw out anyone for any reason I like. White guys are no exception. I sure don't have a buzz cut.

Where is the picture of Obama's buddy, Aryes? Yes, he's white, but he didn't blow up planes. Should he stay off planes? YES!

A white clean-cut businessman did the anthrax attacks, a white decorated veteran carried out the Oklahoma City bombing (2nd deadliest terrorist attack in the US), two white kids shot up Columbine High School.

But I'm not trying to say "watch out for white people." Shoot, if I believed that then I'd be watching out for my own self 24/7! I'm trying to point out the absurdity of using that logic on muslims.

It doesn't, but when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail......

Discriminating people on how they look and the dress the wear is as racist as segregation in the 1800s and pre-King years of the 20th century.

It happened to the Irish, native Americans, the black people, the Chinese and today the Arabs. It happened to the Jews with the Nazis.

One can attack an idea, but not a person. People should educate themselves and raise above their ignorance

Lesson learned: Don't board a plane dressed like Osama Bin Laden and you'll be alright.
