NPR - After Private Pilots Complain, Customs Rethinks Intercept Policy
Federal border security agents have sharply reduced intercepts of general aviation aircraft, following complaints by pilots that excessive police action at small airports is restricting the freedom to fly. (www.npr.org) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
When you intercept someone, you should have proof.... If you don't you should be held liable... If no legal reason to stop them, then don't. As much as I hate drug runners and want to see them stop, that does not mean you stop just anyone that you want.
In law enforcement, profiling is an invaluable tool in the profession.
It is what it is.
Criminals often mimic the actions of innocents in order to evade detection.

If a cop comes to search me or my vehicle, the answer is no... If they have probable cause they will search anyway... If they don't I will have them in court later. I never have anything illegal to hide, but I am not going to let the search either.
Also, what is to prevent the cops from planting the evidence... It happened a number of years to an American Mechanic... Cops accidentally searched the wrong house, then planted drugs.. He searched many years in prison, until it was proven the stuff was planted by the cops. They did a movie about it "An Innocent Man" based on the true story.

I work as a mechanic and I have many tools... Some tools I cannot use.. Same here. The profiling is a tool for the police, but they need to be careful how they use it. If they are not sure, they better not do it.

Profiling? Really? Woe be unto those states who dare to invoke profiling of illegal aliens. Nor do we dare to invoke its use in airport security rather instead let's make sure that grandma from podunk NE is forced to undergo a strip search whilst a middle eastern complexioned young man is waved on through for boarding. And lets make sure that no one has to to be forced to get a photo ID for positive identification for voting in this country but absolutely must present one to buy alcoholic beverage at their local Walmart. Your notion of profiling is that which is politically correct and nothing more.
Explain that to the tsa.
I guess when the feds confronted granny - they felt pretty stupid!
