Klown note: No -- the libs aren't in TOTAL charge of your security -- yet ... but they probably will be soon. And when they get there, people you know will be killed.
Washington State authorities and the FBI on Monday released photos, taken by the captain of a Pugent Sound ferry, of two men that passengers and crew saw acting suspiciously -- taking photos of doorways, for instance -- but Thursday's Good Morning America seemed more concerned about “ethnic profiling” than identifying the potential terrorists who had been seen on up to a half-dozen ferries.
“The case is raising concerns about security. But it's also raising concerns about possible ethnic profiling,” declared news reader Kate Snow.
Reporter Neal Karlinsky asked: “Are these two men terrorists casing the boats for attack?” or “are they totally innocent passengers, the victims of ethnic profiling?” After noting their suspicious behavior, Karlinsky characterized them as victims: “But the men are not accused of anything, leading the Muslim community to wonder, what if the two men did not appear to be of Middle Eastern descent?” Aziz Junejo, Seattle Muslim Community spokesman, asserted: “To point that person out because of the features of a Middle Easterner is just plain wrong.”
Karlinsky concluded: “The FBI says the huge ferry system is among the most vulnerable maritime targets in America. The question is, are these men a threat, or just victims of a jittery public?”
Yes -- acting suspiciously on six different ferries is just a "coinkydink" -- you jittery publics, you ..... KABOOM-BLAM-BOOM!!!!!

Yes, but what about pointing out that person because of the features of a Middle Easterner AND they're behaving suspiciously.
For fuck's sake, it's been said so many times that it's cliche by now, but if men who are 25-40 years old are muslim and are of middle eastern decent keep doing terroristy stuff AND the rest of the world who don't meet ANY of those criteria are NOT doing terroristy stuff, we need to start looking at the smoke if we suspect a fire instead of calling it a "thunder cloud" or "that? that's just a dust cloud... swarm of bugs... no fire there... look somewhere else"
