No, we've resorted to simple racisim to sort it out too but at least the
authorities are concerned.  I suppose we've had more experience of white
terrorists so maybe it isn't so bad over here in that respect.

See this recent article on "stop and search" figures -

I'm not sure how many international terrorists have been found by
stopping them on the high street and asking them to empty their pockets
- looking for those missing WMD perhaps? ;-)

Just found a link off that where an individual compares the UK to New
York - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/3860569.stm

I don't think your other posting/e-mail about comparing race/religion
based searching to having a sticker on the side of your car holds out.
I mean - people can't take the sticker off, they've got it for life.
And not just when they go through a border - just walking down the
street is seen as a potential terrorist threat! Imagine living your life
like that.
