What an amazing coincidence that you will never wake up tomorrow
matching all of these traits, despite matching at least two (male,
western educated especially in Engineering), likely a third (18-35),
possibly even a fourth (devout). I dare say, by your own metrics, you
might arguably be majority terrorist. Please bend over.
The only elephant in the room is that out of ten billion passenger-
flights in the last decade, and even more over the last thirty years,
only a couple dozen passengers have actually been the bad guys we need
to stop. Building a discriminator that can find one terrorist out of
two hundred million passengers is like building a machine that can win
the lottery. Good luck.
Of course, you can decrease those odds by increasing the number of
terrorists, perhaps with...full body cavity searches executed
repeatedly against the people you identify most likely to attack you?
Brilliant

No-one has a RIGHT to get on an airplane (or to enter an airport,
for that matter).
While not all Muslim males aged 18-35 are suicidal terrorists,
virtually ALL suicidal terrorists and airplane hijackers in the last
40 years have been Muslim males aged 18-35. Therefore, being a lot
more stringent in screening Muslim males aged 18-35 is more likely
to catch a would be terrorist than randomly selecting those to be
more deeply screened. There should still be some random selection of
the rest of the population, but, given the profile of the latest
attacker, and the profiles of the 9-11 hijackers, just about
everyone who fits the following profile:
Male
Muslim
Devout
Western Educated, especially in Engineering
Should have a full body cavity search before being allowed on an
airplane.
If that offends them, then maybe they (and realistically, it is only
the Islamic world that can end the scourge of Islamic terrorism)
will do something about the funding of radicalizing Madrassas and
firebrand clerics that are at the root of the whole problem.
This “Equality and non-discrimination” garbage is ignoring the
elephant in the room, and like the rest of the left’s agenda, makes
everyone equally miserable, without accomplishing its stated goal.
