At what cost to society as a whole though... And where is the line drawn?
I can understand where this logic comes from, it comes from the fear that ISIS is achieving at instilling in us. But at the end of the day, if I were on that bus, I would rather blow up into a million pieces then look at someones race, colour, attire, facial expressions, or any outward appearance and assume they were capable of horrible atrocities based on these factors. The day I do that is the day I know ISIS have stolen my personal liberties and freedoms.
Some people would go to war to defend their freedom, and are willing to die at doing so. I would rather die assuming the best about people until proven otherwise. Call me naive.
