PAX profiling to start in Finland
Finavia, an airport management and handling company in Finland, wants to select PAX for special screening based on religion, ethnic background and nationality should Finland adopt the new type scanners to be proposed by EU commission to the parliament.
According to the security manager of Finavia, Jyri Vikström, profiling is required as it would be unfeasible to scan every PAX with the new system as well as for the obvious reason, to lessen the hardship generated to the travelling public and aircrew alike.
The profiling would target certain groups that have been responsible for most of the terrorist attacks in the last 10 years as well as select PAX based on behaviour at the airport and combine certain existing travel profile (cash payment, 1 way ticket, no luggage etc).
About time someone came up with this in Finland, and in Europe. We have been appeasing the minorities for too long at the expense of majority population. Time to put an end to the hind kissing and start to talk about matters with their real names.
