From AlohaSteven talking about a TSA employee he is friends with "He knows perfectly well I do not fit any sort of terrorist profile"
Thank you for saying the obvious, I agree with you on that fact. We should be foremost, profiling for terrorists (along with searching for explosives and weapons).
We should be profiling statistically, behaviorally, physically and of course racially.
Who on this list would YOU select for increased scrutiny?
A) A Caucasian grandpa
B) An Asian female in a wheelchair
C) A Six year old child
D) A Young/ Middle Eastern/ Arab/ Muslim male
The answer to me is obvious, either we profile for the terrorists that wish to do us harm and the rest face less intrusive searches because of it or we do not racially profile and those of us that don't want to blow up airplanes will continue to feel the pain.
Until we racially profile for terrorists you are correct, it is all just "expensive security theater"
I can almost see it now,.......60 foot "anti-NON racial profiling" billboards at all major airports.
