British holidaymakers staged an unprecedented mutiny - refusing to allow their flight to take off until two men they feared were terrorists were forcibly removed.

people had been talking about these two, who looked really suspicious with their heavy clothing, scruffy, rough, appearance and long hair.

"Then a family stood up and walked off the aircraft. They were joined by others, about eight in all. We learned later that six or seven people had refused to get on the plane.

Patrick Mercer, the Tory Homeland Security spokesman, said last night: "This is a victory for terrorists.

Is this a good thing? I think it may be unfair to people only because of their appearance.

The majority of terrorists attacking the Western world are Muslims, should they be profiled?

A benefit of this practice may be that it could inconvenience the Mythical Moderate Muslims to the point where they take care of their countrymen who are terrorists.

ifthe majority of peopel want someone of a plane then so be it, he could be drunk, smell like crap, fartign, being loud and rude....doesnt matter why, if the vast amount of the passengers want him off then so be it...

Do i think its right, well, no, but what are you going to do about it?

You are equating someone's origin with someone's behavior?

no thats not what I meant, I implied that if the passangers (IE customers, airlines are a service) demand someone of a plane for it to fly, then so be it.... regardless of why.... its like anything else, ajny business anyhwere, somone can demand the same kind of thing, and if the vast majority of people in that business feel the sameway, well, the business is going to appease them..... simple business...

I said I dont agree with it, its just the way it is...

Profiling does very little in the long run. Just look at the Arab guys who were charged for buying lots of cell phones at Walmart for resale.

Ever watch the movie "Paradise Now"?

I guess all a terrorist needs to do for a successful mission is get a hair cut, shave, and wear a business suit. Which, surprisingly, is what they actually do. What an amazing idea; these terrorists are actually smart enough not to make themselves stand-out like a sore thumb.

When will people learn. Scruffy hair isn't going to down your plane. Have faith in airport security, because those screeners are the only true thing keeping you safe.
