Skip... first off, dont call me clueless for my beliefs, especially since you dont know me. But to fill in a demographic I am a very well educated white male, who has never been and probably never will be ethnically or racially profiled....
I disagree wholeheartedly with most of what you have posted on nonfishing subjects but I never remember calling you clueless, especially since I dont know you...
My point was that profiling in general is a bad idea, at the airport or otherwise, and we're sending a bad message to kids and to other countries...
As far as the need for more profiling, if it is radical muslims that are the problem, and they have known terrorist ties how are they geting into the country??? this should be averted well before they are near an airport and underlies a much bigger problem.
Show me numbers where profiling has decreased the number of terrorist attacks in this country, or anywhere (I'm not talking intelligence gathering, rather specific profiling based strictly on ethnicity). I'd argue it is hurting our image worldwide, especially with muslim groups creating negative feed back from this....
