I never said that. I am suggesting that there is a place for profiling in law enforcement and security. All types of profiling , including age, race, gender, behavior, appearance etc. Under the current threatening circumstances, I think the American people need to get it out of their heads that profiling, including racial profiling, is wrong. It's a dangerous trend to make profiling illegal. I think most people intuitively agree with me on this. If you have been on a plane since 9/11, don't tell me you were not on a higher state of awareness, examining the other passengers. Profiling was probably a factor in the apprehension of the sneaker bomber. I'm sure the flight attendants were keeping a close eye on the fanatic. In this case, ignoring the obvious would have been fatal. Making it socially unacceptable or worse yet illegal, just doesn't make sense. . . . ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
