It's About Bloody Time!
From the The Times Online:
THE Government is discussing with airport operators plans to introduce a screening system that allows security staff to focus on those passengers who pose the greatest risk.
The passenger-profiling technique involves selecting people who are behaving suspiciously, have an unusual travel pattern or, most controversially, have a certain ethnic or religious background.
The system would be much more sophisticated than simply picking out young men of Asian appearance. But it would cause outrage in the Muslim community because its members would be far more likely to be selected for extra checks.

I say bully for the Brits! I certainly hope they go through with this plan, and nuts to the Muslim community who is sure to cry "racism" at this latest development. I have always said it makes sense to target the group most likely to undertake in a terrorist attack, and this is an excellent first step.
Now if we can only get our government to do the same thing...
Will backlog like this be a thing of the past at Heathrow?

I should say that "bloody time" was a nice double entendre (I think that's what it is--or just a plain pun...)
