Re: We will Survive

Not meaning to sound overly harsh or critical here, but I heard some
American commentator state that the constitution is "not a suicide pact".
The way it has been interpreted by some of your courts is just plain
ludicrous, but I'm sure your aware of the problems with your legal system.

Profiling has been used by El Al security successfully for many years.
Having a court interpret the constitution in such a way that prevents you
from defending yourselves is simply asinine.

    That might appear to be a good idea at first, but it's illegal in
this country.  It's called "profiling", and in fact you can't even
select people to search based on race.  That's what police in NC and
GA used to do when deciding whom to pull over for drug checks on the
Interstates, and it was ruled to be unconstitutional.
