What about profiling for all law enforcement? Given the statistically significant differences in rates of criminal activity for different races/ethnic groups, wouldn't it be more efficient to focus on those races & ethnic groups with higher crime rates?

In some ways profiling in situations where you have lessened rights (TSA security) is even more distasteful than profiling on the street, where you are at least theoretically protected by the 4th amendment.

as for Raflp who said profiling was based on race? And we are not discussing any form of "on the street" law enforcement, we are talking about airports. Again everyone here loves one line responses and broad generalisations-- humourous yet sad in a way. Profiling is based on various factors not limited to age, travel pattern, gender, ticket dispensations, etc etc.

Ciao,
