Human Rights Quote by Isaac Yeffet

“They can argue whatever they want” is a preemptive shrug at the civil-liberties backlash, a rhetorical move that frames criticism as noise rather than a legitimate moral claim. Isaac Yeffet isn’t trying to win a philosophical debate; he’s trying to win the operational one. The sentence structure is telling: disagreement is granted, then immediately disqualified by “The problem is,” as if the only real problem worth solving is logistics and risk.

The repetition - “you profile - you do profiling” - reads like a blunt insistence that euphemisms are pointless. He’s not dressing it up as “behavioral assessment” or “risk-based screening.” That plainness is part of the persuasion: profiling is positioned as an unavoidable tool, not an ideological choice. The key subtext is that security is not neutral; it requires sorting human beings into categories of trustworthiness, and it’s better to admit that than pretend every traveler is treated the same.

Context matters here: this logic comes out of aviation security cultures shaped by terrorism and the promise of prevention. “Interview every passenger” sounds egalitarian, even humane, but it’s immediately revealed as a funnel designed to separate “suspicious ones” from “the rest.” The phrase “put them out” is the quiet violence of bureaucracy: no handcuffs required, just removal, delay, secondary screening, a life briefly rerouted.

Yeffet’s intent is to normalize a trade: dignity for deterrence. The line works because it refuses sentimental language and instead makes a hard claim about modern safety systems - that they are built on judgment calls about people, not just objects.
