WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE?

IS THIS PROFILING?

Today we can easily distinguish who is a terrorist and who is an average passenger. They don’t have to be middle eastern but can be from any area that hates the U.S

WHAT WE SHOULD DO?

Profile people who are from troubled areas or have committed crimes overseas.

Use metal detectors and x ray machines.

All security should be run by people who work for the airlines.

If security detains a questionable person then they do a full body search.

Keep people moving in the regular security lines.

THE FUTURE?
