The policy is to check EVERYONE at Heathrow and other airports this morning on the back of this huge terror alert. Is this necessary?
So what you are saying is only to check White people like Richard Reid - who is the only british citizen I can think of who has been involved in trying to take down a plane in a such a way?

why what happened this morning?
There was an alleged plot this morning in the UK - but we have those every six months - Ricin, Forestgate etc - what happens is they arrest someone, call it a major breakthrough on the war on verb and then six months later release everyone without charge.
So you'll have to forgive the british public for being very cynical about messages coming out of the minstry of truth.

Re: this has nothing to do with political correctness
We even now have our own terrormeter - it's clearly at FEARTERROR 1.

Well to be fair it does to me and it did yesterday - however hard experience has taught me that nothing is quite what it seems.
The ricin plot was pretty much the same in terms of it's reporting and the evidence presented to the public - well until the point when they let them all go.
So you'll forgive me for mentally pegging this as "alleged" until we see a trial.

just to clarify
One of the suspects "Abdul Waheed" was formerly known as Don Stewart-Whyte.
