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).
|
Then we are profiling white, Arabic, and African people. We are in the same situation we are currently in. We need to train airport security and personnel to focus on behavior and not appearance. It is a more effective tool to prevent terrorism.

One of my sisters was stripsearched coming back from Latin America or South America because they thought she was a drug mule. She cried for days. She did some research and found out they searched her because most single black women don't go to Latin America by themselves unless they are running drugs.
