Million said: i'm not sure racial profiling is a bad thing , it's a very utilitarian approach but then maybe a neccasery approach. if some members of racial group A are pretty much the only threat to individual x then why not asume that all of racial group A are potential threats , it's not very practical I admit but if individual X is of great importance then it may be a lesser of two evils ( the greater evil being allowing the death of the president) .

It's not even a matter of lesser of to evils. I don't think in the history of the world, a white woman has highjacked a plain, I doubt a white man has.
So, if you want to stop people from hijacking plains, you might want to limit your search to anyone that would.

If we focus solely on Arabic or African people, the terrorist groups will simply adapt. Will see more John Walker Lindhs or David Hicks.

Ok, so they adapt. Then we adapt. Until then, we would be wasting out time (I say would be, because we do profile).
