Now at an airport, the only thing that makes you suspicious is your race? I disagree with this, race is not enough of a basis to profile someone as a threat, there are so many more factors than race that they should be paying attention to.

What? There are Caucasian Muslims, Chinese Muslims (about 20 million of them), Indonesian Muslims (202 million), Indian Muslims ... I could go on and on. Perhaps the poster meant Arabs (not Muslims) as only a small percentage of Muslims are Arabs.

When people say "profiling" I read it as muslim people. And I do not see it as "silliness" when peoples (any peoples) rights are unfairly trampled.

I'm a Muslim and I don't see how it tramples on anyone's rights to be singled out for a search if it protects life. All of us profile ... I profile when I'm walking in 'certain neighborhoods' and I see four or five young men dressed in hoodies displaying gang colors ... I move to 'orange' alert especially since I have a CHL. Is this wrong?

My, my, my ... What will it take for us to get over our silliness about profiling and get rid of all this expensive (and useless) technology and the associated jobs program ... grrrrrrr!
