"...it will happen again, probably in America..."--Security Could Have Stopped Bomber But Feared Being Branded 'Racist'

Security Could Have Stopped Bomber But Feared Being Branded 'Racist'

  "The witness, security guard Kyle Lawler, who was 18 at the time, told police that he was “conflicted” because he thought something was wrong with Abedi but couldn’t describe it. He was standing about 15 feet away five minutes before a smiling Abedi detonated his bomb.
• Lawler and security steward Mohammed Ali Agha watched Abedi for several minutes, troubled about his all black-clad appearance and the knapsack he was carrying. They exited the arena before the bomb was detonated.

In is prepared statement to the inquiry, the Showsec security guard also said: 

• “I felt unsure about what to do. “It’s very difficult to define a terrorist. For all I knew he might well be an innocent Asian male. “I did not want people to think I am stereotyping him because of his race. “I was scared of being wrong and being branded a racist if I got it wrong and would have got into trouble. It made me hesitant."

Twenty-two people were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. 

And it will happen again, probably in America, as TSA agents continue to stop our grandmothers to search their girdles for bombs while the likelihood of a well-dressed Middle Eastern man or woman boarding a plane and blowing it up is increased dramatically."
