if gray haired old woman were blowing up airplanes would it be wrong to single them out at airports for extra security checks?

If another grey haired old lady was blowing up airplanes this one would understand I was being stopped for extra security checks and wouldn't mind. Security forces were doing their job correctly.

narrowing the possible scope of security checks limits the ability of terrorist to use people in their plans .
IT would be the same as a bank robber who holds a family hostage while the bank maneger is forced to hand over money and assist the robbers .
SOME one who could pass through security easily then becomes a target for bring thru the check points material and weapons which can be used by terrorists holding family members hostage .
I almost hate to say this as it my be providing these numb nuts with an idea .
BUT i am not that smart and i am sure others have in the terrorist community already added this as a possible method if we drop our guard and begin screening select people .
I am not saying do not check granny out but she should to protect her and her family be checked also .
THIS insures everyones saftey in america to the best of the ability we have .
SO we need to check profiled people even more so then granny .
EVERYone of them and granny gets atleast a once over and profiled people get the works .
HOW are things going today so far don .

No it wouldn't. Not profiling is just a waste of time and basically putting off the inevitable, which is taking down all those gray haired old women blowing up planes.

Yes -- that's what is called profiling. You have no real reason to suspect any one of those ladies you're screening extra. And I would hope that our standard detection methods would be good enough to catch anyone who's trying to blow up a plane. If they're not, we need to improve them.

Profiling is not a useful tool. It gives you too many false leads to investigate, and anyone who knows what profile you are singling out can adjust their own profile to avoid suspicion.

Absolutely not. Profiling is a useful tool, and shouldn't be discarded in the name of political correctness.

Your question pardons your ignorance......when will you idiots realize?.... your own Bush and C.I.A insiders did 9/11! I know its not easy to accept this because believing requires strength.....the strength many of you do not have. So you take the easy way out... and live in a world of lies...you call home.
