What pisses me off w/@SamHarrisOrg is he holds dissonant views on this subject that are empirically & morally wrong.https://twitter.com/Salon/status/652854874179289088 …

@SamHarrisOrg But as I understand, you propose profiling differently per group. That's despite evidence that this method is ineffective Yes? -
@Sillyputty78@SamHarrisOrg If the KKK was out on a shooting spree, would you screen blacks & Jews w/equal weight or focus as white people? -
@aliamjadrizvi@SamHarrisOrg Non sequitur. Individual event vs everyday security concerns. -
@Sillyputty78 Really? Why is it different? Explain. If you were screening for Islamic jihadism, would you spend resources screening Mormons? -
@aliamjadrizvi I'm not screening Islamic Jihad-ism@SamHarrisOrg is. I'm saying you *don't* screen groups you screen behaviors instead. -
@aliamjadrizvi@SamHarrisOrg And in this specific case (KKK gun fight vs Mormons) the first is isolated incident (acute) the latter chronic.

@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 Given how rare plane terrorism is, I value airport safety less than I do comfort of peaceful Muslims. Thoughts? -
@SuperGayWizard@SamHarrisOrg Agreed, to the extent that proven methods to stop all acts of violence are used w/respect to ind. liberties. -
@Sillyputty78@SamHarrisOrg If the goal is to make air travel as safe as possible, it makes sense to profile. But that needn't be goal. -
@SuperGayWizard@Sillyputty78@SamHarrisOrg no it doesn't. Profiling is for FBI with good cause to suspect individuals. Not airport sceanrio -
@davidBlandry@SuperGayWizard@SamHarrisOrg Bottom line: 'Scrutiny' of observable behavior is more predictive of future acts.#redherring

@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 what religiously motivated terrorist would adhere to religious dress code while attempting to launch an attack? -
@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 seems more likely a future attack would come from a jihadist dressed Amish. -
@goosegill how many Amish people do you see in society? They seem rather secluded don't you think@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 -
@GerryGonzalo@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 yep. And yet my point still stands... -
@goosegill you're missing Harris point on profiling, or rather anti profiling. Watch his 5 minutes on Rubin@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 -
@GerryGonzalo@SamHarrisOrg@Sillyputty78 I have. I've seen & read it all. It's flawed and not well thought out. -
@goosegill disagree, we shouldn't waste resources on people who aren't part of martyrdom. Hijacks get real serious when people want to die -
@GerryGonzalo while I agree we shldn't waste ltd resources on toddlers & elderly, that's not exactly (or all) he said in the original blog. - 12 more replies
