His crime wasnt wearing a leather jacket and being a bit dusky skinned.

Running onto a Tube train attempting to escape. Not only that, but he wasnt even supposed to be in this country.
It was his OWN fault he was shot if you ask me. Or this country will never crack down on terrorism. Brazillian or not, a week after the 7/7 attacks, you do NOT act like that, jumping barriers etc. What do you think will happen!? If I was the officer giving the autority to shoot to kill that day. I would of give it without a second doubt in my mind.

You are wrong on lots of accounts.
It wasn't a week after the London bombings, it was fifteen days.
According to leaked witness statements from the enquirey he didn't jump the ticket barrier, but went through with his tube pass AFTER picking up his free copy of the Metro newspaper.
Also according to other eye witnesses on the escalator down to the platform, the people following him never issued any warnings telling the man, wrongly suspected of being a suicide bomber, to stop.
Seconds later on a crowded carriage a shoot to kill policy was implemented. Why there, and not anywhere else on the two mile journey from his home is still unclear.
Back to the thread topic.
I have no fear of catching a plane with any Asian, wearing unseasonal clothing and talking bi-lingually or not. What has made me fearful in the past about air travel, is catching planes with the shell suited trash, who are loud and obnoxious, after spending all their time before boarding on the p*ss in the bar.
