Obviously, an event like this could have been prevented had Norway increased screening of native born 12 year old girls along with their grandparents.

Yeah, I'm sure increasing the screening of people of Middle Eastern descent would've prevented the blonde blue eyed Norwegian from commiting this. This event really shows why racial profiling is inherently flawed.

Where did I say anything about basing it on racial terms, or is your assumption that everyone who rejects the idea that a 12 year old girl is likely to be a terrorist is a racist?

Stop trying to spin this in order to save face.

So in what way does question the security threat posed by a 12 year old girl or her grandparents imply racial profiling?

If you look at killing sprees or terrorist attacks they tend to be carried out by single males who have no children who have close ties to a radical political, fundamentalist religious background, or have a long string of extreme behaviour that acts as "warning signs". With information that is readily available or already collected by the government you could realistically eliminate 95% of people from being likely terrorists without ever considering ethnic background.

Of course, we can completely ignore rational classification and continue to search the diapers of elderly women because it would be inappropriate to consider that not all people are likely terrorists.
