Again for those who don't quite get it - everyone was regarded suspiciously after the bombs. If you wear a rucsac you'll get suspicious looks - if you're a dumb tourist and leave your bag and go and sit down you'll get spoken to and someone may tell you what they think of such stupidity.
It's not (and never was) restricted to people of colour apart from in the original poster's mind - but he sees everything as a race issue, it justifies his own prejudices.

Exactly! Strangeous's point it not only valid but is true.
At the time of 9/11 I was in sunny Epain, shocked and horrified holiday makers of all creeds were making there way back to England. We HAD to be throughily searched and all our bags were checked and all of own personal possesions/ carry on luggage HAD to be put in clear plastic bags!
I remember being looked at suspicisiouly by everybody in the same way as i was looking at everybody else suspicisiously.
It works both ways but then again "people like you" wont / fail to see more than one side of a discussion.

- as well as restructuring of application procedures for such things as passports to require mandatory fingerprinting & biometric face
scanning,
What you say is simply not true, the passport application needs to be tightened up as there are so many fraudulent passports / passport
applications, they are far to easily doctored / faked. If a form of biometric identification is required and a law is passed by democratic vote then it
will become mandatory.

Are you insinuating that the CIA is or is linked to a Terrorist organisiation - or is this another opinion of yours?

identities, movements, activities and even the mental and emotional states of every single one of us are tracked and recorded at all times whether in

Simply not true, in major cities yes,

record all your mobile 'phone and landline calls the second you use a "keyword", and send them to those lovely folks at the NSA over in "Crypto City"
I think its true to say that the telecom provider logs all calls from phones and would only divulge a logs or logs to an intelligence agency if specific
requests are made by police.

datamining and profiling you to decide whether to ask MI6 to kidnap you, stick you on an unchartered "extraordinary rendition" flight to an Egyptian
or Israeli dungeon so their CIA trained "interrogators" can find out how much of a threat you really are to the establishment without running into
trouble from any pesky "human rights" laws.
Again where is your evidence?

Would you care to provide this discussion with proof of these claims of so called arms dealing of any British university
Originally posted by ISJYou openly admit to at least once praying on the scared nature of the public at a time of mass histerior after a bombing
attack which didn't discriminate on its victims. Your opinions are that this was an "inside job" - i cannot see why a
government would want to kill its own public and create mass panic.
