From what I've heard Al Quada doesn't discriminate, Why should we?

Actually the idea of racial profiling does make sense, but I look at it a little differently. If we did manage to use racial profiling the al queda network would use that against us. They'd simply hire a young white woman who is on drugs and have her meet one of them on an airplane; and she'd have no idea what she was doing. She'd be doing it for the drug money....so in essence the lack of racial profiling may actually make everyone safer.

Until we can come up with a way to profile people by response and communication and sensors, there is gonna be this profiling. Life is not completely fair. Religious profiling is done every day in the workplaces, particularly in the government. At my workplace, for years, if you were not catholic, you were not promoted. Wrong? Yes. But time and reason will heal all that.

Racial profiling main flaw is the premise that people of the majority race are to be trusted. If Al queda begins recruiting and making terror cells of western european descent racial profiling is useless.
It's always going to be around, it's just a question of which race gets targeted.

Racial profiling should be stopped as it is time consuming and ineffective.Change the policies people hate and he terror stops.Everyone looks like a potential terrorist anyway.

Look, if 99 past captured terrorist plotters were brown-skinned, bearded muslims, what are the odds that the next 1 will be a brown-skinned, bearded muslim???
When you intentionally overlook the obvious, it is stupidity.
Frankly, if the police look for a light-skinned, tall, older, chubby guy, and they stop me for questioning, I don't consider it anything except doing their jobs.

It is sheer idiocy NOT to implement racial profiling! These people are willing to take their infant children with them to blow up planes!
The time to fart around with this is over-it's time to put aside political correctness and get real.

It's not called "racial" profiling; it's called criminal or terrorist profiling -- and it must be done to protect innocent people from the murdering crazy lunatics who don't give a ratsass about you and me.
