LOL, well, you said that we shouldn't start picking people out because they look suspicious. You didn't say anything about picking people out because their skin is a particular color! And if you're mentally equating the two, then you're just wrong, man. Wrong.

I am saying you should check them if they are actually suspicious. If they just look different you leave them alone. Wearing unusual jewelry is just as un-suspicious as having an unusual skin color or pants.

Re: MIT Student's airport "bomb threat"
So, if you see loose wiring, putty, and a battery with trailing wires, assume it's unusual jewelry or check it out? What would it take to make an improvised device suspicious to you, at an airport, where your job is specifically to be looking for things like home-made bombs?
