Is hard to believe what is happening right now in airport security around the world and that is what BBC News report "Can statistics help catch terrorist?" (Ruth Allexander, 2010) is all about. this story show us what the government of England wants to improve to be more aware of who can be a terrorist and this way trying to make every flight safer, nowadays not only suspicious travelers can be call for a stringent checks is going to affect factors such as race and religion. "So although statistics could help catch terrorists, to some degree, they do not make it easy, and they probably will not get you through airport security any quicker."
I am very concerned about this new rules, because innocent people can be affected, and we only are going to remember those days when travel was more than a pleasure, now travel is a problem, and the traveler needs to be preaper for everything from a simple check to even things we do not imagine, and I just wonder how can statistics can detected whether a person is or is not a terrorist.
