In essence, federal agents are forbidden from using racial profiling by the Department of Justice. Therefore if they allow this guy though the airport then if an Irani guy did something similar ( i.e. posting in ummah.com that he'd go to the US to destroy America) then DHS cannot apprehend him unless they have additional proof that he is involved in terrorism i.e. (in which case they can and will arrest him with or without him posting his intent ). To do so means they are making an arrest based on race / religion / nationality i.e. profiling. TL DR; I think the DHS are forced by the situation to detain the guy. | ||

This is true actually. Is it confirmed, is "destroy" really a slang for "party" in UK? | ||

They even have brochures that ask if you are gonna assassinate the USA president on your visit on entering, and no terrorist would still type that in there but its still security precautions you need to respect. | ||

If you write something inflammatory, you still might become a suspect (although this specific situation may have been a bit over the top, do you really think America is going to risk another 9/11?). 3. Did America actually invent freedom of speech, or do we just have it here? I think the whole point of this thread is that you dont have number 3.

And all of this has to be determined by one passing glance. No but if theyre a terrorist I suppose you question them ? If these people had been questioned properly I think it would have been more than clear that theyre not terrorists. If this is an ok treatment of people in the US people shouldnt be surprised if americans get a bad treatment when being abroad. Personally I think its just stupid and it doesnt matter if a person is american, brittish or whatever. If this is an ok treatment people should be detained in the US for tweets of similar kind as well. | ||

They're not on edge, they're bored out of their minds. All that manpower and training without a single terrorist to catch anywhere. Must be so depressing. Sometimes at work when I have nothing to do I'll make it look like I'm working and being useful, kinda the same thing. | ||
