I don't think that many people remember that the Muslim extremists were going to recruit Caucasians in Russia to commit terrorist acts, so just searching Muslims won't due anymore. But they should be a high priority.

Just searching Muslims would never have done. I'm not sure they should even get high priority, it takes about half an hour of skilled makeup application to change someone's apparent nationality. And even without that the areas of the world with a lot of Muslims have plenty of non-Muslims, take away the symbols and try to tell the difference between an Israeli and a Palestinian these are people of the same basic race who've diverged in religion and culture, same thing goes for India and its neighbors.

While I'm not against profiling by race or any other visible key we have to keep in mind that it's not a perfect system and we do have to work outside the profile as well as inside.

How do you recruit a non-Muslim to blow himself up in a terrorist act? Do you promise a great 401(k)?
