The U.S. government should forget about political correctness and start profiling. We all know that young Muslim males make up 99% of the terrorists. This is evident from years of terrorist attacks around the world. Are we going to wait for another airplane to crash into a major city (etc) and then say, why didn't we profile? This doesn't mean the government should igonore all those who don't exactly fit the "99%" category, but it does mean the government should focus on them, just as if it were WWII and we looked for people speaking German or Japanese. The only good terrorist is a dead one, and we should be aggressively killing them as fast as possible, wherever they are. We're at war!
I've got no problem with profiling. Profiling has gotten a bad rap because of abuse of authority, but used properly it would be very helpful.
Tough.
no it gets a bad rap because minorities like to scream raceism
Well sometimes they are correct. That is when it is abused. But if the suspect is of a certain skin tone or hair color then it would be foolish to WASTE your time questioning other people.
