i cant really fathom how it would work on a day to day basis... whats the criteria for stopping someone? how do we prevent them from finding a sympathetic white guy? not to mention that "looks like a terrorist" is quite subjective... does this look like a terrorist? how about this guy? i understand the theory behind racial profiling, but i think once you start really thinking about how it would be put into practice, the flaws become glaringly apparent.

reid is not arabic, he is english and jamaican... here's umar: he isnt arab either... so what do you do? just stop everyone who isnt white? whats to stop the terrorists from just finding a sympathetic white guy then?

its not the first time it's happened http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Martin_Duran

the best part about the "war on terror" is that its fighting a boogeyman. they can spend insane amounts of money on it forever, because you cant win a war against an intangible.

its called cinco. in downtown columbus on the southwest corner of broad and high. http://www.facebook.com/cincotacos i helped open that place. installed the comptuers/point of sale terminals, and a bunch of other stuff, and also made the occasional burrito lol. i worked for the original owner, but he has since sold the place to someone else... still know the current owner, and a couple of the people working there. i think there's only like 1 or 2 people that still work there from when i did. most have moved on i think. i did not know him though, i think he's only worked there recently.

i cant ride to hawaii

ya know, a few questions between someone and a specialist goes a long way.if they are extremely nervous, jittery eyes, inconsistent in the answers to the questions, then they check you out a little more. ask you some more questions and see how you react. it doesnt matter if you're young or old or white or purple. if you are acting suspiciously, thats all it takes. IMO racial profiling is pretty much useless. i mean the shoe bomber and the underwear guy weren't arab... would they have been stopped? how would it really work in day to day practice? if you arent white you get stopped and searched double? is it such a stretch to think that there may be some people of every race who are sympathetic to a terrorist cause? i definitely agree that its silly to be pulling grandma out of line randomly, as the chances of her being a terrorist are about the same as me winning the powerball... the only thing i can really come up with is maybe they think that someone could slip something to grandma unwittingly, because they think she will just breeze through? idk... maybe im giving tsa too much credit.

go check somalia out. it seems to be working out quite well for them... :D:D

behavioral profiling is much more effective.

just what we need... more fat kids.

there are tons of places online that will.

the thing with linking to stuff like washingon times or infowars, is that if its legitimate news, its going to be somewhere thats reputable, and that link is going to be posted anyway when someone verifies the story, so why not just post the good link in the first place?

thats just how it works. its called a hub and spoke system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoke-hub_distribution_paradigm everything goes through the hub, unless its time critical. if it's time critical, then you would have chosen priority or overnight and it can go spoke to spoke. its not really a waste, because that truck was going to kentucky with or without your package. its not like they made a special trip just for that package. USPS handles more than 500 million pieces of mail every day, im sure they've figured out what works, and know what they are doing lol. in the early days, fedex used to ship EVERYTHING through memphis. if you shipped standard from philly to NYC, it would go from philly to memphis, then from memphis to NYC. again, this is for standard shipping. if you ship overnight, then it can go straight from philly to NYC. nowadays they have a lot more hubs (there's one in grove city) though, so not everything goes through memphis. heres an animation showing fedex's hub and spoke system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzsXqawswPc&feature=player_embedded

yeah stop the feud so miami PD can get back to smashing peoples cell phones after they just filmed the cops shooting someone. luckily after the phone was smashed the dude recovered his sd card.

he shoulda done this to her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Buq6ZkYrQ

are they seriously asking "gary why?"... seriously?

football sopranos the wire thats all you need.

and if someone does jump in. FOR GODS SAKE JUMP OUT AND RUN!!! same thing if someone pulls a gun on you and tries to make you get in their car or van DO NOT DO IT. tell them to screw off, and RUN... you may get shot...but if you get in the van, you are most likely going to be killed anyway... after they do whatever to you. screw all that noise.

you're crazy.

you mean "lie to you and tell you what they think you want to hear"

if you dont wanna ride a harley on maui, check out this place http://www.islandriders.com/ they got a few diff kinds of bikes.

yes, i exercised my illusion of choice.

seasons have nothing to do with it. people just dont look. ive ridden pretty much year round, and i do not have any more incidents in the winter than i do in the summer. people dont pay attention REGARDLESS of what season it is. btw YES i watch for deer in june. they are all over ALL YEAR. maybe im not expecting a snowmobile in july, but if i see one, im not gonna run into it.

really? i heard the majority of them were actually shot very little... like only twice a year when the officer has to qualify... but they are not always maintained well.
