I don't understand why people insist on the TSA using a "brute force" approach rather than an intelligent approach to stop terrorism. Comprehensive profiling would be able to eliminate 95% to 99% of people from being considered potential terrorists without (strictly) depending on racial profiling. Essentially, a person's age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, education level, career, religion, ethnic background, ownership of a home, holding an insurance policy, and travel history (and many other criteria) make someone more or less likely to be a terrorist; and you should be able to accurately predict potential terrorists without depending heavily on one (or even a few) factors.
The only realistic reason I can think of for such a moronic approach by the TSA is that this is nothing more than PR. If they search grandmothers in adult diapers and children in wheelchairs it gives the impression that they're doing something without leaving them open to accusations of racism.
