[QUOTE]Australian police are stopping hundreds of people every day at airports in an attempt to prevent would-be jihadists leaving the country.
A new counter-terror unit conducted nearly 76,000 "real-time" stops - more than 400 per day - at eight airports between August and February.
The screenings are not random. Counter-terror police are targeting potentially suspicious travelers.
Around 90 Australians are believed to be fighting in the Middle East.
The Border Force Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU) is a new unit designed to tackle extremists attempting to leave the country and join terror groups such as Islamic State (IS).
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the CTU teams had "successfully intercepted a number of people of national security concern" since August.[/QUOTE]

Over 400 not white looking people harassed daily, what a great victory in protecting the country's freedom.
400 stops =/= 400 people trying to join ISIS.

Yeah, it's obvious bullshit and clear racial profiling. Something tells me the "number" of people they've "successfully intercepted" is probably comparable to the number of fingers on my left hand...
