U.S. Airports Should Use Racial and Religious Profiling. A Debate
Description
On Christmas Day, 2009, Nigerian Muslim Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempted to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 using explosives hidden in his underwear. Although passengers subdued him at the last minute, a string of missed opportunities and errors by government security agencies culminated in what President Obama declared a "systemic failure." Should airports use racial and religious profiling to identify potential terrorists? Or does this violate individuals' basic rights? How do we balance the need for security and safety while preserving each person's civil liberties and the right to be treated equally under the law?
