This has nothing to do with their philosophy, although now that you mention it perhaps we ought to hire them only if they can explain Nietzsche. I want security in the airports to be talking to people getting on planes, asking odd questions and trusting their instincts to identify the people to really scrutinize. This is what the Israelis do, and they seem to have their shit together. Better that than having a bunch of know-nothings staring at shoes going through the x-ray machines. I trust those processes to do absolutely nothing.

What I meant was, do you want people who might be more suspicious of other people based on national origin? I'm guessing some would answer this by saying that national origin should mean nothing, that it is the "individual" circumstances which should be acted upon with discretion. (This example may not be clear, as such people would also fail in the "not smarter" category in my mind.)
