I'm a little confused about something. I read the TSA site tonight to see about scanning. It talked about the two types of scanners and the plans for rolling out machines. At one time it said (I think in bold type) that "TSA does not profile". And I was thinking how the job could be downsized by doing some profiling. Now, I also realize that TSA could end up in the courts if it did it (might be worth a try anyway). But then I stopped and wondered. Why should that be a problem if some overseas government did it? They can't be hauled into court just because they don't conform to American government policies in this regard. Profiling makes so much sense, that I can see why American security doesn't do it. But that same reason makes me wonder why security that isn't American doesn't do it?

Anyone able to cut through the fog with an explanation?
