Another person caught by using profiling! At this time the country was under an almost constant attack from various organizations in Northern Ireland. You can bet that the security people at the airport were looking very closely at anyone with a passport or identification from this area and caught her before she was able to get on the gate.
You are correct, we have ONE white person out of all of the terrorists, and the organization she was working with has now been disbanded. This is the reason why we search all of the passengers, but hopefully in the future will profile to concentrate on the suspicious ones just a bit more.
Still waiting to hear of one incident where a Western pilot has been turned or involved in a terrorist activity.
