What's wrong with profiling?
Back in 71-72 when I was flying as a Sky Marshall we were profiling. Middle eastern men AND WOMEN between the ages of 17 and 50 (Remember Leilah Khaled? the woman who hijacked a TWA flight to the Lybian Desert where it was blown up?) and also males between the age of 17-50 (all the idiots who wanted to go to Cuba) It makes sense to me to profile Muslims since they are the ones who were responsible for 9/11. It certainly wasn't someone like Joe Foss who was hassled by the airport security.
I'm beginning to think that to be a true "Liberal" you have to divest yourself of all appearances of common sense and give up being free in exchange for a false sense of security.
