looking Middle Eastern = suspicious behavior
Going into unauthorized areas and taking pictures = suspicious behavior.

looking Middle Eastern = icing on the cake.

Quick question, how many of the 9/11 guys were middle eastern again? Oh that is right, all of them. Thanks..it isn't a stereotype if it is true.

This reminds me of questions on the SAT.

What percentage of Middle Eastern looking people were 9/11 hijackers?? It is only "true" if most of the people who look like that are indeed terrorists. Otherwise it is stereotyping.

Kind of the same as those who think all black people are chain snatchers. While I'm pretty sure that most of the people in prison for armed robbery are indeed black, claiming that any black man walking down a dark alley at night is "suspicious" is indeed profiling.

And assuming that all Middle Eastern people going into unauthorized areas and taking pictures are worth checking out is just intelligent.

But not to you.

That's just dumb, and shows your really have no argument. What percentage of flights hit buildings that day, I guess it was a safe day in the skies.

The law of averages tell you that the likely hood of the next terrorist attack in the US being from some one of Middle-Eastern dissent is good..hence being aware of Middle-Easterners doing suspicious things.

Common sense is apparently an uncommon virtue for some.

The law of averages tells you that the next armed robbery in Baltimore will most likely be committed by a black man. So I guess Baltimore citizens should all be extra cautious of black men walking the streets at night.

The law of averages tells you that the next racial murder in Mississippi will most likely be committed by a white christian man. So I guess citizens of Mississippi should be extra cautious of all white christian men.

But such crimes are so infrequent and committed by such a tiny percentage of the population that profiling in this way is not even a tiny bit useful and is more of an annoyance to common people who are not criminals.

Even if someone was to come forward and say that they knew who these guys were, then what? They have not committed any crime, have they?

Some people apparently want to throw away our entire legal system in order to fight against terrorism instead of just addressing the causes of terrorism.

A man robs a gas station.

The witnesses at the scene are in agreement that it was a white male, aged about 21, wearing blue jeans, and a white t-shirt, with short, blonde hair.

So are you saying the police should be on the lookout for a Hispanic woman?

Your argument is pathetically off the mark. But if you want to look stupid, I'll be more than happy to help.
