Profiling?

A popular internet circulation gives numerous examples of acts committed by Muslem extremists between the ages of 17 and 40. The point is well made. One thing they forgot to mention are the acts of Timothy McVeigh and the Unibomber - which were homegrown acts of terror.

Regardless, I don't mind if they do a bit of profiling IF they treat the people with respect AND apologize for any inconvienience. Also, in profiling, they should do as the Brits do and look for nervous people. Rather than digging through every bottle of shampoo, it makes good sense to watch the facial expressions and behavior of the passengers. Most often those are more reliable clues.
