Not quite the same thing. Say you have a bowl of grapes. If every single sour grape was wrinkled and a different color than the good ones, would you randomly check all grapes for the sour ones? Doesn't make much sense, does it? Sure, it's very possible that a perfect-looking grape could be sour, but your experience tells you it's very unlikely.
EDIT: Forgot a part of my analogy: Yes, you may find a wrinkled, off-color grape that tastes perfectly fine. But it makes much more sense to test that one than it does the good-looking ones.
The type of 'racial profiling' being suggested for searches is not the same racial profiling you're suggesting above, and the conditions are different.
