That is like saying the Packers should not stop the Vikings from running the football, because they will turn to the pass. IF we profile, we cut down on the number that CAN do harm. That is the purpose of the checks isn't it??
you're racially profiling when it isn't tied to race.
That's the problem.
And it's ONLY a matter of time until they find enough Johnny Walker Lindh types to not have to EVER send Arabs back into the fray.
There are better and easier ways of doing such things. Instead of profiling, use the money for better intelligence assets.
They saved our butts this time around.
