The 9/11 hijackers were MUSLIMS. They should have been profiled and searched because THEY WERE MUSLIMS.
And did the crotch bomber depart from the USA? Did the shoe bomber depart from USA? Did the printer toner bombs originate in USA?
The recent threats are coming from flights from AMSTERDAM, PARIS, FRANKFURT, DUBAI, ROME and LONDON.
MUSLIMS flying from FOREIGN airports are the threat right now, not white 3 year old children from Milwaukee.
How do you determine if a person is a Muslim? There are Muslims of every nationality, race and gender. If you only search people who look like Muslims to you, you miss the people who terrorists have access to who are Muslims who don't look like you think a Muslim should look.

The 9/11 hijackers DID originate in the USA, further, if you have a different tier of searches for international flights than for domestic flights, a potential terrorist would simply take an international flight to the United States, assemble their bomb, and then take a Domestic flight to carry out their deed. Terrorists look for soft targets, they plan and research before their attacks, they conduct numerous dry runs, they are not as stupid as you want to pretend that they are.

If you only profile those flights, how are you going to stop someone from breaking their attack into two tiers, flying from one of those places to the United States, assembling their attack here, then flying from Indianapolis or some other city here to carry out the attack?

Even if what you are saying is absolutely correct, what the Muslims are doing now has nothing to do with what they could do in the future. Switching up the mode of attack would be easy and if you didn't have a system in place designed to catch the attackers, you would have nothing.
The fact of the matter is flying is NOT a right. You have absolutely no right to go on an airplane. If you do not want to follow the rules for travel, there is a very simple solution, Don't fly. There are many modes of other transportation available for you.
