Do you mean the human race or some other race?

Wow Pakistan is now the middle east?

Don't talk rubbish, I just gave you examples of typical africans and middle easterners and there is such a variety there in all aspects that it demonstrates that your "typical" thing doesn't exist.
Or do all Greeks look like Telly Savalas or would he be more of a typical european with his lips, skin colour, face and height or would it be Arnold Schwarzenegger that is the right shape and colour?
Would either of them be more American looking or would that be someone like Mike Tyson?

First of all, quit that smartass attitude. I could do that too but as you can see i didnt till now.

These ones: Africans

End of story!
If you cant tell the difference between an African and a Middle Eastern or a European and a South American, then you need glasses mate.

Edit: Dont blame me if this conversation will go from bad to worse. I was polite a couple of posts before.

Perfect , lots of shades there, plus face shapes and lips and if I am not mistaken you have even included in the bottom center an example that covers height and physique. Well done you prove yourself wrong.
Are you sure those are not mexicans or indonesians or maybe even polynesians , though some polynesians may look more like what you think Africans look like? :rotfl2:

The story was over when your notion was initially shown to be incorrect.
Now that you have gone on yourself to show in pictures how incorrect it was its the equivalent of you writing an epitaph over your dead notion and burying your own claim.

Lt. Fillipidis - let me share some advice with you. Ever heard the saying "Don't feed the troll"? If so - it applies here....:salute:

Now - the real issue here is the lack of security - both by our "international partners" as well as our own people. The reality is that other countries have different security protocols than we do for flights originating from theUS. One thing that I have not seen proposed from this mess is why we don't mandate our own screening rules and people for US bound flights. This way, regardless of what country the flight originates in, if its inbound to the US - it has to meet not only the host country's security checks, but our own as well.

Now I throw this out there with the caveat that my experience with international flights and the standards involving them is limited, so there might be problems with it. But it makes sense to me. Then again - if it makes sense, maybe that is the problem?

Especially not with pictures of ginger haired africans or people might say they look like typical Glaswegians. After all everone knows people in Glasgow have ginger hair, and as they are europeans they must be typical.


The real issue is the same as it was on 9/11, intelligence agencies not passing on information.

You can, there are several countries where there is a presence. The catch is that you as a US tax payer has to pay for it and some americans are very touchy about paying tax.
If you followed topics rather than ignoring those with different views you would have noticed that mandating screening rules in foriegn airports has been mentioned already in relation to Israeli flights.

Ill take your advice CaptainHaplo.
Im off this thread.

I do not fly, so I was surprised to learn in the news that even for flights to the US, there are some hilarous security holes. For example you are prevented to carry more than a minimum of certain items and liquids with you, you have to give them up at the security gate. After the security control for such items, they showed on TV, there are the duty-free-shops.

And there you can buy all the stuff again that you just have handed over during the security control. Alcohol, razors, electronics, cleaner agents. Even when boarding flights to the US, Haplo.

German police and the German pilot's union demand these shops to either get banned to before the control gates, or that they are prohibited from selling all classes of goods and items that can be sued as weapons or in buiolding an explosive device.

I have a simple security advise for you, and it is free: avoid to make flights that you can avoid! I came around quite a bit - but I never was aboard an airliner, and I even banged heads with a boss over it. It took more time, but tremendously added to the overall experience. You actually could see again where you are travelling. Airliners are just like beaming.

You miss the point about the liquids, the controls on liquids are for a very specific purpose, purchasing liquids in the airside shops has no relation to that at all.

Take a train or bus instead, just avoid trains and buses in places like errrrrr...towns and cities where someone might possibly blow one up.
