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.
