You don't have to be of a certain race to be a terrorist.

Using the same methodology as before, the chance of a random stop and search finding a terrorist is now 0.0001%, and on average you’d turn up one terrorist per 700,000 random searches. Of course, these figures are massively optimistic.</p> <P>But what are 700,000 random searches in perspective? In 2004, there were 697,317 stop and searches in the UK. In 2005, there were 807,616. </p> <P>In other words, in order to catch 1 terrorist per year using racially profiled random stop and searches, even using implausibly optimistic assumptions, the UK would need to put in at least as much effort into them as it put into <B>all</B> stop-and-search police of <B>all</B> other crimes combined.<SUP>4</SUP></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B29996AC-F129-469A-AD09-8E214184D5D7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
