With all due respect, it seems you're still missing my point. Some superficial "profiling" based on looks, skin color, clothing, age, etc. just
won't cut it! It's very likely that such a system would actually
reduce the level of security we have now. If you want to improve security by profiling, you have to go all the way,
El Al-style, as I have mentioned before.
Certainly, it can be done, El Al has been doing it for years, but it comes at a high cost. You need intelligent, educated, well-trained professionals who question and observe passengers in order to find out if something seems "wrong" and warrants further examination. Training costs and salaries won't be cheap, not to mention the opportunity costs of all the passengers who need to be at the airport much earlier than before.
Besides the fact that it would probably take years to implement such a system on a global scale, I strongly doubt that the actual risk warrants it.
