Profiling Right or Wrong? You decide...

[BajanBastard]

I ALWAYS get searched. In Seattle, they took me to another room and had me strip down to my boxers.

lol and ya liked it did'nt ya?

[Carlos_E]

dude. if you could get a sense of humor you would not be so bitter. I bet you are the life of the party.

Me bitter???

Never!

And indeed I am the life of the party.

So I guess it is a size thing. Since you're so white you're almost clear it's definitely not about color.

Nice to know it's not just me.

You may very well be. I forget that most people here are a totaly different person in their real life. If it was not for me hating all races we might would even be friends.

Every time I travel I'm always searched. It's become a running joke with my friends because they never get searched. We actually get to the airport extra early because we know it's going to take me so long to get through the security check points. I don't think I look like a terrorist. My friends think it's because of my size but I'm not that big. So they think it's my size and color. I have no clue. Hell if I ever travel with rambo I doubt they would let us on the plane.

So I'm sure there are plenty of guys bigger than me on the board. Do you guys always get searched in airports?

Next time you fly, look at the bottom right hand corner of your boarding pass. If there are four s's, you will be searched.

They put the SSSS there for several reasons:

-you bought your ticket on short notice.
-you have a one-way ticket.
-you didnt check any baggage.
-you paid in cash.
-you exibited aggressive behavior with the ticketing agent and pissed her off.
-your passport says Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc on it.
-you are on a student visa.
-you had your flight changed shortly before departure.

Thanks, I'll check for the SSSS next time. Looking at your list ... no, no, no, no, no, no, and no. Paid with a credit card, round trip, in advance and I'm always polite when checking in. The only thing I can see is, I always try to only take carry on since I hate waiting for luggage when I arrive. So I guess that is why I'm searched.

Nope, I'm not any different. This is me, like it or leave it.

None of those every apply to me. Would it make a difference if I said "If I have to wait 5 more minutes, I'm going to blow this mutha up!!"?

Unless you started breakdancing after you said it, that would be a bad thing.

That list isnt all inclusive. They do have a certain percentage of the flight that has to be additionaly screened. So, if no one else on the flight fit the criteria, they would randomly select people.

[Mart651]

If I was a screener I would search all arab people.

If you had a better understanding of foreign people's hygenic habits, or lack of, you may not be so eager to be near them. Underarm deodorant isnt of great importance in the middle-east.

It's not of great importance for the people residing in the geographic region of CubeOutsideBadMansOfficeLand either.

Find out when his birthday, aniversary, graduation, un-birthday, etc. is and give him a gallon size bottle of Brute'.

[bad_man]

I came in early once and taped a pinetree air freshener to his monitor.

For Secret Santa this Christmas I want to get this girl a Mach 3 and bottle of shaving cream. She has more arm pit hair than a man and for some reason loves to go sleeveless.

Nice. Get her one of the new vibrating razors. Just tell her to take it easy on her bikini line.

Secret Santa. That's hilarious.

Throw in a bottle of Nair and pray she doesnt take it the wrong way and jump off a bridge.

[Rhino58]

It is ok to the point of extreme, we dont need another Manzanar.

[Da Bull]

It has been a while so I could imagine the changes.

Its just like those white people. As soon as they started cleaning it up and making it a nice place the white people come out like cock roaches and take over.

ROFLMFAOOOO

[craneboy]

not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims

[bad_man]

not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslims

Terry Nicholls was Muslim?

[bad_man]

Timothy McVeigh was Muslim?

[bad_man]

Right. But they ain't Muslim, buddy. They are bible-thumpers.

[craneboy]

they are anti government activist striking back

[bad_man]

So what's your point? They aren't really terrorists? Or your statement about all terrorists being Muslim is dead-ass wrong?

[bad_man]

they are anti government activist striking back

Activists? Bah ha ha ha ha ha ha.

[bad_man]

Aren't the ****ers that crashed into the World Trade Center anti-government as well? Are they activists?

[craneboy]

they are anti american scum

[bad_man]

And McVeigh and Nichols aren't?

[craneboy]

we should pull our troops out and send one more plane over them

[craneboy]

yes they are and ones already dead and soon the other

[bad_man]

So then all terrorists AREN'T Muslim. I'm just allowing you to clarify your point.

[craneboy]

i stand corrected

[Hooligan]

LOL I fell off my chair when I read that

[Hooligan]

Secret Santa. That's hilarious.

And a gift certificate for some electrolysis and give her a wink.

They don't profile at the airport by race. Its cute that you think that they are profiling you because of your tan, but it simply isnt true.

you know there is profiling going on at airports. next time you go through look at the people they pull to the side. they pull every middle eastern person to the side and right after they do then they have to seem unbiased so they immediately pull an old lady or someone like that aside. I'm not saying its right or wrong, considering how many of the people that have hijacked planes are of arab decent but i'm sure its happening. When I don't have a tan and I'm dressed in business clothes i am not usually checked... unless they just like to check a female with a good tan, then thats profiling too!

[Hooligan]

I think anyone would pull aside a woman in business attire. Esp. if it consisted of skirt suit, high heels, hair up, and glasses. Maybe I'm getting my naughty school teacher fantasies mixed in there too but...ahhh nm off topic

"Yes...say no to profiling"
