I disagree with it on a moral level, because it's unfair to single out any particular group of people based on the minute statistical probability that any single person in that group may, or may not, start trouble. 99% of people in most ethnic groups are good people, but it's the other 1% that cause problems for the rest (as the saying goes, "one bad apple spoils the whole barrel").
However, on a realistic level, I feel profiling is a necessary evil because the last thing we need is a radical militant, most likely Arabic and Muslim (unfortunately, this is most likely scenario), coming here to blow up any more buildings. It's unfair to the many Americans of Arab descent, as well as Muslim-Americans. But I'd rather have a greater sense of security that my 2-year old daughter will be able to grow up and live with less fear for the future, even if it means inconveniencing certain people, than to worry about whether her part of the world will be the target for the next 9/11.
