How will the color coding scheme work?

Can you imagine yourself being an American of Middle East decent,
maybe even born in this country, Muslim, law abiding, abhor the 9/11
terrorist act just like the rest of us do and getting special
treatment every where you go? I know you are going to say you are not
and you don't give a sh*t how they feel.

Why are you assuming racial profiling.

History... Manzanar, Warsaw Ghetto, gassing, slavery, aparheid

What the system will look for is
something linking a person to a known terrorist group
or someone on a watch list.

Yeah, like my credit history or what library books I have checked out.
Am I going to regret checking our Mein Kampf in high school?
They might even want to look at my Netflix account.

Does anyone know what criteria will be used for the proposed color
coding scheme for identifying risky air passengers?

I've also heard that US criminal records will be used.

Gee..... good thing the President has Air Force One.

Yes, but it must be a 6 pointed star.
After all, big brother needs to know who the ones "outside the box" are.
And colored yellow too. Chinese, othe other hand, will be handed a
big five point red star. Japanese will be given a patch with a red
ball, etc...
But realistically, if there is such a scheme, it invariably boils down
to race. Or how you look to the security personnel. Sad to say in
this post 9/11 day and age people of Arabic decent will suffer. And
so do all those from muslim and borderline muslim countries. Because
they will be judged by a different set of criteria for sucurity
purposes.

This is true but then again, white Christians generally tend to not be Al
Qieda (however you spell that **** group's name) members. Bin Laden doesn't
seem to want Jews either. Let's see, who flew planes into buildings and the
ground? Not orientals, not black people, not above mentioned whites.... that
leaves Arab Muslims doesn't it? Now if you're looking for likely terrorists
by religion, whom do you look to? Not Buhdists, Hindus, (the list goes on
to the obvious) etc. That leaves Muslims. We use logic and again we come to
Arab Muslims as the most like to do something sick don't we? Remember how
they were dancing in the streets 9/11 in the middle East? That took any last
symphany I had for any of em totally away. Once again, sorry but those are
facts as well as my personal feelings. Defend them if you will, I certainly
won't

Has anyone forgotten the Japanese internment camps during
WWII? Or the recent racial profiling by NJ State Troopers?

How is that relavent to what's going on today? No one here has been
interred. As to profiling, who the **** would you look at? If the shoe
fits...

Let's keep the subject matter to air travel...

Color coding is the subject and it is a "matter" pertaining to air travel.
Safety is an issue for all of us and again, who was it who killed all of the
air travels (among all of the others) on 9/11? Any air traveler should be
prepared to rush any future high jacker and give up their life to save
others if necessary. We can no longer be passive travelers.

Then again color coding needs to be expanded. Local bombers tend to be
evangelical christians so they need identification as well. Can we let
them fly all over bombing here and there when they land? FFM
