I was watching the news and they showed the surveillance photos of the London Bombers taken from the subway system...

And then I had a thought... If our airport security personnel had been tasked with editing the tape who knows who they may have implicated....that young mother with the baby in the carriage...the grandfatherly gentleman hobbling along with a cane? A group of school girls? Given the speed with which they reviewed the tapes and narrowed in on the perpetrators I guess profiling works, too bad it's only allowed after the fact...

Sure, have two lines for security at airports. One for those who look like Muslims, and another for those who look like Timothy McVeigh...

You forgot one...they need three lines... add one for those who look like DocT.
