One thing I donot understand is that any person with a knife or a box cutter is a suspect!!??? Wow we all do have knives in our kitchens. God forbid if anyone goes out to buy one to cut onions these days. Any person who has a turban and a knife is not a suspect but a SIKH. We all should be able to respect other religions. For the ignorant ones, get to your nearest library and read some book on world religions and what they stand for.
There are news all over that Sikhs are beign targeted because of their dress. I cannot imagine if people cannot make a distinction between two religions, or people who wear head dress, how are they going to find bin laden?? To make matters worse the media is not helping either. The person pulled from Amtrak trian in Rhode Isalnd was a Sikh not a bin laden associate. If the law enforcement agencies cannot make that distinction, I highly doubt their efficiency.
Moreover at the airports the police need to man the metal detectors and the xray machines. This would give them some purpose instead of harassing innocent motorists on the highway and issuing them tickets..
