Students these days...
Profiling? Your call -- from the
Boston Herald:
Feds bust truck trainee who balks at back up
A truck-driving student is in custody in Boston after raising suspicions when he wasn’t interested in learning how to back up his rig.
WLVI-TV (Ch. 56) reported last night that the would-be trucker is a 28-year-old Muslim from India and had overstayed his visa. An investigation is under way to see whether there is any connection between his unusual behavior and a terrorism plot. Federal authorities were alerted by instructors at the Nationwide Tractor Trailer Driving School in Smithfield, R.I., WLVI reported.
The student was described as a resident of New York, with driver’s licenses from New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
“Every indicator was there,” R.I. State Police Major Steve O’Donnell told WLVI. “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together...”
And of course, the liberals will scream saying that this is discrimination, that the student was harassed or was confused or just didn't like that incessant beeping sound.
Like Major O'Donnell said: “Any one of these things alone is fine, but four or five together...” There becomes a time where it stops being harassment and it starts becoming basic security.
And how do you get drivers licenses in three different states anyway...
