I've always wondered, what would happen if I were to strip down to my skivvies and put everything thru the x-ray machine. Aside from embarassing my wife and kids of course. It would be worth video taping just to put onto the 6:00 news.
There has been a few women do it in the US and post their videos on the net....they were posted on avcanada a year or so ago...if I remember correctly, it was not met kindly.
I don't think a blonde female has ever hi-jacked, or bombed an aircraft. I say again..."We would rather see a major crime unsolved, than risk the appearance of racial profiling...." Why else would we treat dogs and cats the same way we treat skunks, even though everybody knows, it's the skunks that stink.....?
Do we really need the screeners to outnumber the passengers? Do we really need anything more than a simple metal detector? Nope.
Blonde women have carried out many bombings and hijackings of aircraft and other targets. But whens the last time an Arab man hijacked an aircraft? Its been about ten years. Or bombed an aircraft, its been closer to 20 years. And in Canada? has it ever happened? By your reasoning we shouldnt have any security at the airports, not that airport security has ever thwarted any attempt.

I'd say, you have it about correct. I'm tired of seeing 15 year old girls being "felt up" by these grade 6 grads that are our airport security. What ARE you looking for??? "You should spend more time fondling my bra....there just has to be an AK in there somewhere...."
Flying out of Auckland, I had to go through the SAME security TWICE because our flight terminated in the USA. My new motto...Racially profile..save time.
So then they get a convert who was radicalized to go through security, because there are lots and theyve done it before. Or maybe they can get through with a disguise, remember the old man mask last year? Would you stop an 80 year old decrepid white man and search him for a bomb? What about a group of Hasidic Jews, beards and all? Or black priests?
Back in the 70's many Arab terrorists had their European groupies do their field work for them. One even duped his girlfriend into taking a radio with a bomb attached on board a plane. Or they could stop at the house of a blonde female, take her family hostage and say "bring this pistol through security and give it to brother Abdul once he gets in the plane or we cut their heads off one by one".
If they left such a gaping gap in security, the terrorists if they were really interested in attacking a Canadian airliner (which they arent) would expoit it before the security aparatus could find a way to rectify it.

If you really think the airport security we have today will stop someone who REALLY wants to be a terrorist, you're drinking the Kool Aide your government expects you to drink. And, if the courts treated "Abdul" the way the scum sucking maggot he really is, deserves to be treated, he wouldn't even be a factor. NOT the way they handled the Air India bombing.....
Abdul is a good guy until he does something bad. Our silly justice system has this notion called presumption of innocence, so we cant have Nazi style preventative justice thank you very much left wing cry babies.
But yeah people are pretty subjective over what terrorist attacks they care about. Air India is one example, but an even more terrible example is that of Luis Posada Carriles. The nation that is supposedly leading the fight against terror is allowing a man who bragged about blowing up an airliner walk free because he blew up the plane of a country who's goverment the USA had a disagreement with 50 years ago.

Strange, but when I left Canada last week, at the security gate at Pearson, they had me walk in front of a simple black piece of equipment, and one arrow lighted. telling me to go right. The person behind me was very dark, and she was told to go left. I have no clue about what that machine is doing, but it must be there for a reason.
The security check on the right was very quick and efficient.

One of the jokes of my last flight to Canada, was transiting through Moscow. You arrive from another country, just transiting. Well they have you go through the whole routine, belt, shoes off, scans, and all. And you are already on the sterile side??? Then the nice part. They confiscate all the booze the travelers bought at the previous airport, saying it is illegal to import into Russia. So the poor guys have to buy some more at the Moscow DF shops!
And because you are going to North America, there is another complete security check at the gates...
