Yes! It is a waste of time and money to search people that are not likely to cause any problems.

No, it's illegal. And rightfully so -- not everyone who looks "middle eastern" is a terrorist, not everybody who has a few tats is a gang member.
It's also DUMB. If the US started racially profiling terrorists, meaning they suspected and searched all middle-eastern looking people, what do you think the terrorists would do? Go out and recruit people who don't look middle-eastern! People need to be more closely examined because of suspicous actions, not because of race.

profiling, is a term that is used to determine who did a crime, or what type of person may be a suspect.
And it is never done purely on race, but race has to be a part of any true profile, just like customs or practices from religions, national orgian and everthing that makes a specific group of people to act in a sterotype way.
so yes it has to be part of any true profile

If the statistics say a certain person is more likely to be a criminal because of the way they look, then I see no problem with stopping them based on that.

If the person(s) you suspect are fairly certain to belongs to a specific group, say like Arabs- there isn't much sense in checking out all the Swedish grandma's- is there?

No ,it's never right to judge someone just by the way they look

Ideally they have a little more cause than that, but I have no problem with profiling. It has been proven statistically valid.
