In my police department, we profile each traffic violator we stop. this is done for a reason. then why should airplane passengers not be profiled? in this case, profiling for the safety of the other passengers. i am for profiling. it keeps order and safety in check, especially in airplane travel. in the world, there are leaders and there are followers. i believe most terrorists are followers. they are brainwashed into believing a just cause for the benefit of one individual person.
