Radical Idea for airport security

[flip_flop]

I think I've stumbled on a radical idea to improve airport security and at the same time speed it up.

Here goes.

Ignore the likes of the white-haired middle aged ladies popping off to Tenerife for some winter sun and families going to Greece for their summer break, and instead target single men of certain ethnic groups.

Would this work?

The first one to adeniodally and incorrectly bleat racism wins a prize.

Mohammad Rashid Abdulaziz Saeed Alim or as he was formally called Nicky Reilly...White, British and determined to blow people up.

Indeed.

But his name (or more specifically his change of name) may have caused an intelligent officer using some gumption to pay him a little more attention than if he had remained plain Nicky Reilly.

Quite.

The case prooves that they can brainwash Westerners to do their deeds. It really wouldn't be that difficult to do the same again but this time ensure that the bomber didn't change his name or if he had already done so to change it back again he wouldn't fit the racial profiling your suggesting.

I'm not advocating racial profiling. I'm suggesting behavioural profiling - rather like it seems they do in Tel Aviv.
