    remember that WWII film, where the escaped British POW (Gordon Jackson) was getting on the bus, and the Germans guy said 'good morning' ??

    THATS exactly how people should be vettted. An HR guy should sidle up to each candidate and say 'Alah Akbar.5..4..3..2..'
    if the candidate jumps up ,shouts '1 BOOM'. whilst pulling at a non existant ripcord near the waist.

    thats it. they're out

        Could you clarify:

        - Are you proposing that applicants for airline jobs with Muslim-sounding names should be barred from applying/screened out at the very first stage?

        - Or that such applicants should be subject to additional vetting beyond that already in place?

            No, because that would be illegal discrimination.

                      But then you're discriminating against non muslims, by saying they could be muslim terrorists
