You are completely and absolutely wrong in everything you say regarding both security,  screening of Irish people at ports/airports and the (understandable?) levels of suspicion and sometimes even hatred against anyone with an Irish accent (Northern, Southern, Protestant, Catholic -it didn't matter -we were all Paddys over there and seen as potential terrorists) after a terrorist attack in England.  You obviously never travelled from Belfast to London or Manchester during The Troubles.  I hated the fact that I was stopped by Special Branch or CID with a baby in my arms when going over to England.  However that profiling was a necessary evil and just as all Irish people were to some degree suspect then, male Muslims especially between the ages of 18 - 35 should be profiled now.  There are as many English Grannies stopped at airports as young middle eastern/muslim men.  That is just plain stupid -
