Thus spake James A. Donald (jamesd@echeque.com) [15/10/04 15:19]: : Has anyone who does not look a terrorist done a suicide mission : outside Israel or Russia? Recall the shoe bomber. You just : had to look at him. You would think the airport screeners would : need to be half brain dead to let him on the plane. Come to : think of it, they are half brain dead, but laws that require : them to pretend to be stupider than they actually are do not : help. I've had more than one comment about my ID photos that amount to basically: "You look like you've just left a terrorist training camp." For whatever reason, pictures of me always come out looking like some crazed religious fanatic. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to bomb anything. And I sure hope that I'm not going to be detained or denied entry because of how I *look*, alone.
