No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify People Profiling, do you?
So, to ensure that the US and the UK never 'offend' anyone, particularly religious fanatics intent on killing everyone they don't agree with, airport security screeners will not be allowed to Profile certain people who might obviously fit the Profile.
According to the Human bloody Rights Act, they must conduct random searches of 80 year old pensioners, little children, airline pilots with proper identification, Agents and Police employed to prevent terrorism and the elderly and the infirm with metal hip joints etc.
Are you getting the picture?
What spineless Government we have.
