Sorry Siggy, I won't let it go. Profiling is a tool like many others. If it is likely to save lives, and I think it is, then I say use it. I mentioned a system used by airports in Isreal. That seems to be working. IIRC it is a combination of profiling & behavior monitoring. Use it.



It would be impossible to determine if it is the profiling that Israel uses, or simply its' heightened security measures for all passengers, that have detered crime there. But logic would point towards the measures that cover all passengers as having a significantly larger impact. Passengers coming to or from Israel are individually-monitored, asked a serious of interrogative questions by highly-trained security personnel (not hourly-wage retards like most TSA personnel), all details are cross-refered with international security records, and at any time there are several people on board every flight that are armed with handguns and VERY well-trained on using them.

Profiling or not, a terrorist would have a hell of a time making it through every step of their security system.
