Have random searches or racial profiling stopped any plots? I wasn't able to find any examples, but I'm not the best at searches. I'm curious.

No one meant to kill them but question and interrogate at best. Maybe we read differently what OP posted.

Honey, you forget that ppl do generalize and group. This is our nature.

Then the most of the world is stupid! Most important i've never said i disagree with you but shown you other perspective.

Christian population.

Never met a moderate, are you one of them?

You can affect votes by proving your point. Once again your country full of fools and you are part of small minority. this was sarcasm to make it clear.

I do feel responsible for what my government does because me as person do nothing to stop them. So as you.

You look like a Sunday church boy to me.

Do you speak any foreign language at least as i speak yours?

I have a couple of other points to make.

Higher probability, possibly. But see what can be said if bill smith from Canada is the one who blows up a train station and the Syrian Muslim was nothing more than just a regular person going about their business? Was all that profiling still worth it?

Of course if you're profiling just Muslims based on the criteria in the OP it's pretty likely you'll alienate them anyway

As for the plot, do you remember when this was because I never saw it on the news anywere.

COUNTER-terrorist officers have raided at least four Melbourne homes after uncovering evidence that Islamic extremists were planning attacks on prominent city landmarks.

The raids followed a 10-month investigation during which ASIO officers and police tracked a number of known extremists as they made a series of road trips between Sydney and Melbourne.
At least one member of the group was observed taking video footage of two Melbourne train stations and the Australian Stock Exchange in Collins Street.

When questioned earlier by agents, the suspect admitted he was filming the buildings but claimed he needed the footage to help him train as a taxi driver.

The ASIO officers, armed with warrants and supported by armed police, entered homes across Melbourne yesterday searching for evidence of terrorist-related activity.

At least four people have been questioned by ASIO in Melbourne this week as part of the investigation, named Operation Pandanus. Two others are the focus of inquiries in Sydney.

Amendments to the ASIO Act introduced last year make it illegal to reveal how the questioning of the four people was conducted, or what answers were given.

Police had believed that several of the men they had focused on in both states had conducted paramilitary training with Lashkar-e-Taiba in Afghanistan before amendments were made to counter-terrorism laws in July 2002.

One of the raids was on a private home in East Brunswick in Melbourne's inner north, a suburb that contains several of the city's more radical Muslim organisations and mosques.

A neighbour who saw the East Brunswick raid said the occupants were an "Arabic" family of five, which included two sons in their early 20s.

The neighbour claimed to have overheard Australian Federal Police officers saying they had found a weapon.

The occupants of the house last night declined to be interviewed.

Despite having authority to use force to enter the premises, no forced entry to any of the Melbourne properties was necessary.

"ASIO conducted a series of enter-and-search operations in Melbourne this morning in conjuction with Victoria Police and the Australian Federal Police," a spokeswoman for Attorney-General Philip Ruddock said last night.

"ASIO powers are used judiciously and only under warrant. Authorities took appropriate and reasonable action to secure premises in order to facilitate the execution of the warrant."

The neighbour who saw the raid on the house in Lowan Street, East Brunswick, said up to 20 police and officials in "five or six cars" spent the day at the house.

The neighbour, who asked not to be identified, said the occupants of the house were a mother and father, two sons in their early 20s and a daughter aged about 19.

The neighbour said the family had lived there for at least 10 years and mostly kept to themselves.

"They have people come at all hours of the night and they do strange things like swap cars at 1am.

"A car will pull up with three or four others and they will swap cars."

He said one of the men in the house had a long beard and occasionally wore Muslim dress.

He said the ASIO and AFP agents spent most of the day at the property searching it and speaking to the occupants.

"All the occupants were home when the police came and one arrived home later in morning - they read him something and then took him inside. They took lots of stuff away in bags."

After the police left "a carload of Arabs pulled up at the house to have a big chat".

The eight-month intelligence probe was launched after an informant contacted Victoria Police. The NSW Crime Commission and Counter Terrorism Command were also involved in the operation.

The latest raids follow a series of foiled terror attacks on Australian soil in recent years.

While five men have faced terror-related charges, three have allegedly planned to carry out the strikes.

One other thing, the last major attacks on U.S. soil before 9/11 were done by some random white guys who were Christian, 1996 Olympics and Oklahoma City if I'm not mistaken.
