Interesting recipe. Exactly how much is a "shot" of gin? Depending on your personal preference, it can be anything between a thimble and a pitcher... 
and only a "dash" of tonic water. Also quite vague. Furthermore, it's optional, so leaving it out would make it a gin cake only...
Nah, I'll wait for a mojito cake!

Let's just do it. I see no reason why not, and if you don't like being singled out then maybe you should start doing something about what's happening in your communities.

I'm assuming you mean "passenger profiling based on racial, ethnic, or perceived religious background".
That's ridiculous.
How effective do you think it would be if that became the norm? Would prospective terrorists dress like:
0) Target groups that fit the profile because they might actually be in that group
Or
1) Respectable, "normal" people who don't.

So you've took Passenger Profiling to mean only stopping people because of the way they are dressed. You've then gone on to assume that anyone who doesn't get pulled up on the passenger profiling, will just be let on with no checks.

If the normal checks are sufficient to catch them then the profiling is redundant. If the normal checks are not sufficient then the bad guys get through them so your point is invalid.

Mea culpa, that was a dodgy typo. I didn't spot that, but yes it is possible to delineate between THOSE words.
I *thought* you were playing on the double meaning of 'invalid'.

Yes - but the stupid ones are easy to catch.
If you concentrate on only catching them, you miss the clever ones - who are capable of making a device that works. Looking for them is more important, and catches the morons as well.
I seem to remember that most of the "stupid virii" didn't work either, because the authors put loads of effort into the distribution, and forgot to learn how to code and test in the first place!

I got scanned at an airport not so long ago. I was guided into a large box where I was scanned from top to toe. Didn't realize it was one of the infamous "naked" scanners until I heard the entire security staff laughing hysterically on the outside...

Ah. So that means I should be cavity-searched every time I travel?
I'm a white, middle-aged male from a rural community with strong anti-gun control sentiments. It's virtually guaranteed that I'm packing, and intend to take control of the plane.
