I had to choose between a pat-down and this … so basically possible cancer or sexual harassment. I chose cancer because I am just that averse to being touched by strangers.

I kind of wish I had been able to see the x-ray. I think one side of my ribs is higher than the other and have no other way to check, and it would be a nice repayment for the radiation.

a)You should learn how Israel actually profiles people, BEFORE you make with the hurr-durr. There are other ways to profile people than by race.

b)Fuck’s sake, reality man. Humans judge everything by it’s appearance. We can’t NOT. It helps us do things like not eat the bad berries. That’s why companies spend billions on advertising and logos and graphics and layout and all that. It’s also why successfully applying for a Business professorship job at a major university, with 47 visible piercings and a bone through your nose, isn’t happening anytime in the near future.

a) How? The terrorists in recent years have had vastly different looks/backgrounds. How do you ¨profile¨ them.

b) Fucks sake, cilivisation man. We shouldn judge people on their apperence, age or anything else.

So -thats- how some Americans actualy think parts of europe have panels that vote for their grannys to die.
If they traveled around more rather then being shut ins (not helped by this sort of thing, and the expensiveness of a passport), maybe they would learn that, hay, theres other countries doing things a bit different, but are still pretty cilivised.

No, but you can look at both people that suggested this sort of thing, or who didnt reject it, and then not vote for them next time. (preferably making it clear why your not voting for them too).
No ones going to campagn on this sort of thing, but the discisions are still made by actual people.

No, nor will the terrorist get me a minuscule fraction.

That means the odds are that out of 5 times the government tries to get “me” (somebody with my characteristics) they will succeed 4 times. I.e. I have one chance in five of not getting nailed.

Basic odds! Jeez, didn’t everybody spend their childhood at horse racetracks? You think 4 to 1 in the fifth meant four horsies were going to beat up on one in a bottle of booze?

Yea, I know I used the same symbol as a fraction, my shorthand… I guess it shoulda been 1:900000 and 4:1
