Capable but not likely. Every bomber has been a young middle eastern male and until that changed we should search at least every young middle eastern male. Makes sense to a lot of people.
It makes sense to search suspicious people (aka those who fit the "terrorist" stereotype), but it makes absolutely no sense to let everyone else walk through becuase they don't "look the part"
