Pistole said. “My vision is to accelerate TSA’s evolution into a truly risk-based, intelligence-driven organization in every way. . . . We want to focus our limited resources on higher-risk passengers while speeding and enhancing the passenger experience at the airport.”
bolding mne. Many say "copy the successful Israeli security model." Which is a risk-based system. And the pax are classfied into risk groups by ultra massive profiling from beginning to end. That is how they do it.

"Risk-based" = "Profiling"

Now regardless of your personal opinion of the niceties or legalities of profiling under the US Constitution, or what is left of it in the "Revised and Revoked Post Patriot Act Post 9/11™ World Edition" DHS has substituted for the old version in the National Archives, perhaps Pistole should check with his boss before opening his mouth.

From the MIT paper rearding Nappys talk there on Monday: "During the question-and-answer period, Napolitano fielded a question about racial profiling, saying its use in security is illegal, unconstitutional, and ineffective."

Personal side note and free $0.02 worth of advice to Mr. Pistole: Using the fave old TSA buzz word "evolution" in front of the ruling party in this House is NOT a way to win friends and influence votes for bigger budgets. Suggest next time try "We need more funding due to Global Warming."
