      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 …

      @Sillyputty78 So it would be "empirically and morally" correct to worry equally about the Amish?

      @Sillyputty78 If you don't give *precisely equal* scrutiny to Salafi Muslims and the Amish -- that's profiling.

          @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?

          @Sillyputty78 Really? Why is it different? Explain. If you were screening for Islamic jihadism, would you spend resources screening Mormons?

          @SamHarrisOrg @Sillyputty78 Given how rare plane terrorism is, I value airport safety less than I do comfort of peaceful Muslims. Thoughts?

          @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.

          @davidBlandry @SuperGayWizard @SamHarrisOrg Bottom line: 'Scrutiny' of observable behavior is more predictive of future acts. #redherring

          @SamHarrisOrg @Sillyputty78 seems more likely a future attack would come from a jihadist dressed Amish.
