Profiling is one of the necessary evils in todays society.
ex..... 4 arabic men between the age of 18-40 board a 9 am flight with no carry-on luggage. They wisk through security don't say a word and are seated at the front of the airplane. You in turn are standing behind a curtain with your belt and shoes off getting the "wand" as they board the plane unscathed.
This scenario would make everybody uneasy, if you say anything different, you are a liar. Why does it make you uneasy? Because in your own mind YOU are profiling. You know those men fit the profile of the individuals who have caused so much harm to our country over the last few years/decades. Some people just don't want such a policy put into writing, however they want to be encased in the security that such a policy provides. Lets face it, we are living in a "post 9-11" terrorism era. It is not going to stop or lessen. We have to be vigilant. If that means that certain groups of people receive a lesser expectation of privacy so be it.
