Civil Liberties or Air Safety?

Submitted by Pamela on Fri, 01/01/2010 - 10:58.
In light of a recent event involving a Nigerian boarding a flight with the sole intention of causing the destruction and death of all its passengers I believe civil liberties should come second.

The safety and protection of all air passengers should take precedence over a person's civil liberties and it is my belief that "any" measures needed to ensure this should be allowed.

If this means a full body search and longer delays at check in  so be it;  I would have no objection whatsoever.   I also believe that as the would be perpetrators of these despicable acts have been...so I have heard, via News Radio,  from an authority on this subject  ...between the ages of 18 and 40 and are of a certain ethnic race and religious persuasion,  they should also be singled out for extra attention.

I realise what I have said will stick in the craw of civil libertarians but quite honestly I don't care.  The safety of a planeload of people, in my opinion, is vastly more important than the so called civil liberties  of one or more would be terrorists.
