"Profiling is a reliable, tested method, and it must and should be used to the fullest extent."

Let us not forget Asians, Al-Qaeda terrorist cells have been reported in Indonesia and the Phillipines. Richard Reid the "shoe bomber" was English.

Their are European Muslims, American Muslims black and white.

Profiling is a tool, only one of many. It worries me the naive faith some put in it.

You are certainly correct to caution me, against "naive faith" in profiling.Thursday, my 75 year old mother-in-law flew from Orange County (CA) to San Jose (CA), and had to remove her shoes, which had some visible metal ornamentation.

In our quest to avoid the smallest hint of "discrimination" we may waste scarce resources, hassling the wrong folks. Political correctness, run amock.
