BBC Bias: Stop Checking Arabs!

Was just watching the news on BBC (sorry, but no link). They reported a story of a man from Dubai, with his family on vacation to London. The family visited the London Eye, otherwise known to Americans as that giant Ferris wheel. Anyway, the family waited in line, and they were searched, and after hearing arabic spoken by the family, security asked if the man could check his backpack in a nearby locker. He agreed, then returned, and upon his return, he was checked again. He was told that he was checked for knives. After being checked this time, his family boarded the London Eye.

Umm, excuse me, but is this a story? Should people not be checked when going to tourist attractions, or is it just arabic speakers that shouldn't be checked? I don't know the point, but in the story, the company that manages the Eye, BA was made to look like the villain, as was the security guard, who the BBC complained, was still at his post.

If you're looking for someone to blame, blame other British muslims or arab speakers. As most logical people realize, it is the fear of their terrorism, that is the cause of all these redundant checks.

Unfortunately, I fear that every time a muslim or arab speaker is checked anywhere, it is a story, at least to our friends at the biased BBC.
