Isn't this racial profiling?
Isn't this examining mosques because Al-Qaeda is Muslim very broad profiling? With no actual reason to believe terrorists are present, this is very broad-net-fishing. A flouroscope gets the place raided and absolutely everything consficated. A misunderstood phrase on a wiretap and some Muslim's life is suspended for 2 years until the FBI realise there was no evidence to hide in the first place. And this happens frequently but only to Muslims.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

If they stop at just mosques: yes.
If they elect to scan near mosques, in initial sweep - merely common sense.
(And I'd opine - if mosques Are the only places given a drive-by -?- they/we are and remain; as malevolently Stupid as Wolfowitz and the insouciant neoconmen demonstrably have been, all along. In every aspect of following-up after the Bomb Shows, which they obv. get-off on.)

Have you read the story?
I'm not being facetious, either; there seems to be a number of respondents to this thread who I'd ask the same question to, in all seriousness.
The whole point of the story linked was that mosques and private residences have been tested, in some cases agents venturing onto private property to do so. (I leave it to your vivid imagination to speculate on the religious/ethnic characteristics of the residents of those private properties. I'd bet a pint or three on "Muslim/Arab", though)
That's what's boiling my piss.

Re: Have you read the story?
Yes.
It's vague about what instruments were being used for "monitoring"; BBC says "air monitoring". That would be looking for particulates that are radioactive; dust from sloppy handling? I suppose. Nothing in the article mentions (say) a scintillation counter (a photomultiplier amplifying light from a sensitive crystal). This for detecting leakage of primary radiation, from a not well-enough shielded repository - which I'd think would be used too.
So I don't get Matthew's ref to 'fluoroscope' .. as that would be a means for making X-rays visible, usually via your own X-ray source - - after passing through er, meat. It's hardly a 'particle, wavicle detector' of any low-level sensitivity. (Surely they aren't wandering about with some silly ZnS screen - in 2005, with all that free money for terrierism.)
I read no implication that any radiation has been found, so the debate remains about the ethics of even looking for radiation near mosques. Believe I've given my views on that.
(Including: if they are looking only around mosques - then they have their heads up arses, and -- I Would call that: some sort of -ism, but mostly, stupid-ism.)
Not that stupidism would be surprising in this matter; why spoil a perfect record in all areas to date by, aberrantly - doing this one right?

death to america, death to jews jihad jihad now time for tea
and not expect to be looked at? Since I doubt they hit every darkish looking great satan hater I suspect the drivebys were againsts residents that fit some profile, a subset of muslims, wahabbi perhaps, no different than targeting the Aryan Christian movement.
thanx,

is it racial profiling to check for unlicenced cars
in only poor neighborhoods? when the inevitable race of poor people is usually non white? Besides Islam is a religion, not a race (whoot finally get to use that line on someone else!) Taking a swing thru the mosque parking lot, as well as storage warehouses homes, apts garages are certainly reasonable.
thanx,

There are several Muslims at our school
and they are not Middle Eastern, they are White Wimmen. I 'spose they are married to Middle Eastern men, but to say that all Muslims are of a certain race is bogus.
Just setting the record straight from where I'm sitting.
