U.S border guards carrying around "Somali pictures"???

Post by Voltage »

Three bus loads of Black Canadians coming to Obama's inauguration were detained for 7 hours because "6" girls were Muslims of Trinidad origins.

The FBI then asked for their passports, and finger printed them along with the organizer of the convoy who was a Jamaican along with his co-organizer a Canadian of Saudi origins.

But the interest parts is the border guards had "pictures" of Somali men and were asking the girls if they "recognized" them and the girls said no.

Ridiculous wallahi!

btw this must be a new thing cuz I went to Vancouver within the last year and I was passed through within seconds on both sides of the border.

Does this mean I have to expect something on the border now or does this not apply to U.S citizens? In any case what's up with the Somali pictures being held by the border guards? I've never heard of such a thing, random pictures being shown just because you share a religion of a billion plus people with someone. if this isn't the best example of "profiling" i dont know what is
