So nationals from 14 countries are subjected to additional screenings...but it's not racial profiling... hmmm.. sounds like some type of profiling. While I guess you can call it 'geographical profiling' but you know, it really is the same thing.
One can understand extra measures may be needed resulting from the near miss on that plane near Detroit two weeks ago..
But if media reports are right there was intelligence about the individual in question. Connecting the information would have stopped the near tragedy and would not have resulted in the long lines at airports. Don't get me wrong... we have to make air travel as safe as possible. Perhaps the system of human analysis of passengers' unusual behaviour/demeanour may be a better approach.

I agree - let's make air travel as safe as possible. But I think it's gone crazy insane. How about doing a security check once, properly. When we returned to Canada on the 30th of December we had to go through several lines of security, repeating what the prevoius line did, ending with the human hands searching our bodies. When all along the guy they feared was knowingly ALLOWED on a plane. There has to be some accountablity in all these processes being set up. Every time they screw it up, they just pile on more crap! And we put up with it. why do we put up with this?
