fuck no. im not into "random" profiling either. there's no such thing, as much as people might mean well. for example, i travel regularly between the states and canada and im usually stopped for full security screening. How fucking random is that? Random profiling almost always leads to racial profiling. In fact, if the idea is to get people who "look" like they have a bomb, the "terrorists" will just switch up their methods and run in the middle of a busy street. how do you stop THAT.

I agree that random bag searching like this (with or without profiling) is a very lame way to do it, and is an infringement on our right to privacy. There are far better methods of destroying the terrorists, breaking the morale of al queada, and instilling fear in the hearts of those that wish us harm. Of course, many of our foreign policies will have to change drastically, as well as our dependence on foreign oil.

Hmmm...how do you break morale? im hoping you arent a "torog" fan. lol. j/k. But yeh, If you want oil just head to alaska. Bush doesnt want to touch it so america has a fresh source after thy rape the rest of the world....then who'll realy be in control? Some experts have agreed that saudi has reached peak oil prod. at 19 mill. barrels a day...

For now, the bag searching is not very widespread, and infrequent, so I can live with it. I use the NYC transit system, and have not yet been stopped. I used to carry a backpack, with water, walkman, books, lunch cooler, and more. I have divided those things up into smaller containers until I get on the subway, and then put everything into a fold-up larger backpack made by Eagle Creek (the "Daypack" model). This solution works for me, but is a slight inconvenience.
that solution shouldnt work at all, because you shouldnt have to do that shit. Its a sham! Do you realise just how many tax dollars are being wasted by them takig the time to search your bags? Even if it wasnt about money, those three minutes it takes to search your shit adds up to HOURS that could be spent investigating crime thats ACTUALLY happening, not potential ones. silly problems like the wide open borders.

ITS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE! THIS WAS PREDICTED YEARS AGO IN THE NOVEL, "1984"!
