All of the argument against profiling are based on the assumption that it would be the ONLY criteria for screening, and that ONLY those who meet the profile would be screened.

NOWHERE has that been stated. The point of profiling is to give EXTRA scrutiny to those who are members of a group which STATISTIC LY have a greater chance of being a threat.

All passengers should still receive screening. No one is arguing that they shouldn't. But to deny that Muslim male roughly between the ages of 17 and 40 do not STATISTICAL have a greater chance of actually being a terrorist intent on doing harm to Americans is simply denying a FACT. Sticking your head in the sand to avoid reality will not make it go away.

This is simply a matter of knowing who the enemy is. Something most Americans don't want to face because it would involve offending a racial group who likes to claim victim status while all the wile calling you a racist for thinking such thoughts.

The worst offense in America today is to be accused of being a racist. And it seems Americans would rather risk a catastrophic attack which will kill thousands that to be called "racist".

If we fail to acknowledge who the enemy is, we cannot fight them. I fear that America will not be waken for this Utopian PC dreamworld by anything short of a mushroom cloud over a major city. Even then, I have my doubts.
