UK: Muslims face extra checks in new travel crackdown

still waiting for an explanation of how to determine religous affiliation by looking

Alright we can't; most of the time.

Would you normally determine religous affiliation by looking at a Nun, a Catholic Priest, Luthern Priest, or an Amish?

Only when their dressed in their religous "uniforms"

I dont think the average TSA employee would be able to tell an Muslim Arab in a business suit from a Catholic Mexican in a business suit. I know I wouldnt be able to. I guess when Arabs check in for their flight, the airline employee could look at their name.. if it's Arabic-sounding, I guess you could then issue the Arabic passenger a decal or something that tells everyone "Hey, this guy might be Muslim!"

priests and nuns

there are several flavor of priests and i worked at a seminary 5 years and can't always tell them apart.i'm irish and japanese and often mistaken for native american or sometimes latino.my favorite 1/2 joke is the first minuteman in my face wanting my green card gets a dance lesson,(i did get an ins guy wanted mine once on a job site and it wasn't till i called him a certain name that he realized i was a citizen). hey maybe we can use that if you can say a word that starts with mother and ends withsomething else your a local

the profiler who killed the sikh(the guy with the wife and kids) was in fact an ignorant pos. who profiled this innocent man by looking at him and how he dressed and coming to the conclusion erroneously that he was muslim. and then slaughtering an unarmed amily man.
still waiting for an explanation of how to determine religous affiliation by looking.... and i don't expect any answers soon. profiling folks from certain countries is only slightly more viable and all we gotta do is that national id card and have a block on it for country of origin.
and then of course we set ourselves up for our own rendition of the red armies collaborative attack on the israelis. there are plenty of european whack job groups who would love a shot at us. as well as some asian groups.
hey the profiling worked great in england isn't that how they wasted the innocent guy from brazil? you know they all look alike to some folks

Still waiting for your definition of the term profiling and a link to any report of any law enforcement profiler who murdered an innocent person. All I find in what you say is garbled thoughts in which you turn bigots who kill people because of the way they look into what you claim are profilers. The way you misuse the term, everyone here who says that the TSA and others can't do one thing or another is profiling: they've observed or thought about or heard about the TSA and drawn conclusions about those people. Not useful.

And around and around and around...

Think it all over. Try to figure out an answer or three. Start again...
