TotallyOz Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Since the Christmas airplane debacle, there are many new rules and regulations that are being enacted. Tighter security measure for passengers traveling from 14 countries. These countries are: Afghanistan, Algeria, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. 13 of the 14 are Muslim countries. Why is Cuba in this list? I don't really mind tighter security measures at all for myself when I am trying. I actually feel safer when I know all are thoroughly screened. I encourage them for all travelers and consider it part of travel. I do wonder if any of this will work. I was not a bit surprised that the guy was able to get stuff on board as all airports are so different. It would have shocked me if he had been coming from Japan as I always get a thorough pat down transiting in Tokyo. Are we going to become a country that profiles religions? Is that the direction we are headed? Quote
