Germany: Airports demand racial profiling to fight terror



Via the Local:
Christoph Blume, the head of Düsseldorf Airport, told daily Rheinische Post that air passengers should be divided into different risk categories, meaning they would be subject varying degrees of scrutiny by airport security.

“That way, the security system could become more effective to everyone’s benefit,” said Blume, who will take the helm of the ADV airport association next month.

He said profiling passengers according to characteristics such as race, religion and country of origin would allow German airports to avert a further tightening of security.
