Political correctness going overboard. It just so happens that suicide bombers rarely are blonde white old ladies. But it violates civil rights when black, Arab or Asian muslim males are singled out as terrorist subjects.
He accused the police of wasting time and money by carrying out “self-evidently unmerited searches”, which were also an invasion of civil liberties. The searches, for example, of blonde women who fit no terrorist profile came against a backdrop of complaints from rights groups that the number of black and Muslim people being stopped and searched by police was disproportionate.
Lord Carlile said that police were stopping white people unjustifiably so that official figures would make it look as if they were not singling out black and Asian people under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000. “No police officer has admitted that to me, but I believe that is the case,” he told The Times.

Of course, there is another human rights problem. The problem of innocent white subjects being searched purely for statistical reasons, in spite of not fitting any statistic pattern for terrorists Just for political correctness. That is a violation of their civil rights.

Maybe in the future we have to search females as potential rapists, to balance things out by gender? or little boys and senile old men as potential rapists, to avoid accusations of age discrimination? Or search little boys and senile old ladies as potential bank robbers?
Then poor Lord Carlisle gets himself confused:
A racial imbalance in the numbers of people stopped because they fitted a terrorism profile was fine, he said, “as long as it is not racist”.
So what if statistics show that black people are much more likely to be criminals? That is racism?
With ref to “…rarely…blond, white, old ladies…”.
This kind of complacency is exactly what I’m depending on. Heh heh heh
Terroism – U mean Imperialism by U.S,Britain and its occuped (goverments)countries.
The group of crimnals that run the west – is there a need for U.K and europe to turn into a multicultural shit hole.
Is that racism for europe to unite under the jewish american union and destroy its self – is that racism
The government doesn’t want to “profile” passengers the way Israeli airlines do; that risks accusations of discrimination. Instead, we take the egalitarian route — all must be made to suffer equally.[…]
What’s particularly maddening for many is that screeners must treat everyone as an equal threat. Thus the nation is treated to the recent video of a 3-year-old screaming in terror as a TSA employee — a stranger — runs his hands over her.
