I think we have to take a serious look at profiling passengers. I do not think middle eastern people are any less valuable as people, but airport officials should not be precluded from using a person's nationality and/or race as a criteria in the profile of a potential troublemaker.

This is common sense. If there is information that there may be a threat from an Arab/Asian/Black/White person, airline employees should be able to take that into consideration without angering the politically correct gods and fearing charges of "racial profiling."
