Yeah, and if KKK members wore their hoods and robes 24X7 then it'd be a breeze to profile them, too. But Coulter says to profile Muslima and I'm wondering how to do that if they aren't blatent enough to pray loudly in the airport. How would you do it?
Let's see...
Muslim name on ID
Muslim attire
Koran in baggage
Muslim appearance
Muslim smell
Muslim actions
On FBI Muslim database (there BETTER be one)
No technique is going to be perfect in identifying threats or mis-identifying non-threats. You just have to use all the tools and knowledge you have and say to he11 with political correctness.
You imply that since there is no way to define a 100% accurate profile that we can't do it at all. Just because profiling alone might let caucasion Imam Larry Smith through doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
Profiling is generally a behavioral thing. KKKers traveling by air, sitting quietly reading the magazine of their choice, are profiled as being reasonable travelers. Six muslims praying loudly before they board a US Airways plane are profiling themselves as NOT being reasonable travelers. They were taunting the other passengers in hopes of creating such a stir as they got. They, militant muslims, keep pushing the envelope of "tolerance" looking for weak spots in America's defenses.
