Try common sense. What's reasonable about searching the purse of an 80 year old woman while letting Ahmed and his backpack pass on through just because it's the old woman's turn to be searched? What's reasonable about *not* profiling? Please, enlighten us.
I can't enlighten you, because unreasonable is not up to me.
I can tell you that the terrorists are smart. If they know we're targeting a certain group, they'll use someone else, which is why profiling only goes so far. Does anybody honestly believe they won't use American citizens?
Three words -- John Walker Lindh.
Or, as I've said before, any terrorist group with half a brain is busy recruiting caucasians & women to carry out their plans.
