I haven't read all the posts so apologies if this is a repeat.
I believe this is the result of profiling. Practised with great success by a small country in the middle east. E.G., any security policey that is thought out properly, wont work over say a WASP grandmother, as they would others I could mention.
The sooner the west embraces profiling, the sooner progress will be made on nailing the bad guys and ceasing to inconvenience the good guys.
War was declared on the west, so until the west fights the war to win, they are wasting their time.
Forget about human rights, thats just appeasement/capitulation. National security must take presidence over anything else.
