Invasive

It is very invasive the way they go through your stuff again and again at the airport. Why is this necessary? Because there are certain people who are liable to blow up or hijack airplanes.

Who is NOT a candidate to do that? 

A frum family flying with their seven kids.

A Rosh Yeshiva/Kollel on a fund raising mission.

A Seminary girl on her way to BJJ in Elul.

A geeky Professor of Computer Science at the University Of Nerds.

A yeshivish looking heart surgeon who is the head of his department at Long Island Jewish Hospital.

An avel going to bury a family member.  

My parents.

Your parents.

Me.

You.

And many others. 

Who IS a candidate? We all know. The same type of people who have tried to blow up things in the past. So why aren't they alone checked and everybody else gets their property, privacy and time respected?? Maybe .... political correctness. People would be insulted if we checked them and not others. So this INCREDIBLE "balagan" in every airport in the world is because of political correctness. Maybe. Insane. In our society "racial profiling" is considered a greater sin than "לא תנאף" and "לא תגנוב" combined. 

And if we are REALLY suspicious that every person is a mass murderer - then why do we let people freely roam the streets? Why do we only take measures to protect airplanes but not busy streets with thousands of pedestrians, schools, malls etc. etc.? 

Not complaining - just asking.
