OK I have a few thoughts to share here and I hope I won't offend anyone too bad.
First is that I'm getting sick of the political correctness that says we shouldn't be concentrating looking at Muslims when we are fighting terrorism. Al Qeada is a Muslim terrorist organization so of course the police forces of the world are targeting Muslims! Yes I know you cannot identify a Muslim by what they look like, except lets get real, someone from the Middle East is a lot more likely to be a Muslim than a blond guy from Norway, and that means they are a lot more likely to be a terrorist, so if they have a choice who to pick for random searches wouldn't it be dumb for them to question all the blond guys from Norway? I think that is plain common sense.
Also I wonder if terrorists would be more afraid of taking bombs on to public transport if they knew a lot of the population were armed, I know I would, wouldn't you? Britain has totally banned guns and I wonder if they are thinking about that in a different light now.
