Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}

Seemed to be supportive of the "no security is good enough so why are you looking in my bag?" mentality. A bit different than what I'm used to seeing from Salon.

Don't look like $profile or the plane won't get bombed, have a nice day!". Oh, and it victimises the fuck out of otherwise innocent people and can, presumably, add grist to their getting-radicalised mill. Once again, for the benefit of those who weren't listening the first time around - the 11th of September terrorists were in the USA on valid, genuine ID and would have passed muster had they been "profiled". The 7th of July bombers were all born in the UK and, even in a post WTC world were not detected. Profiling is stupid.
