I never claimed profiling will get them all, just a method of spending
20% of the resources for 80% of the effect. Then you have 80% of the

That is exactly one of the problems with profiling. You don't spend
20% of the resources. You spend 80% of the resources, and ignore all
the rest. Put two people on an airplane, one a young Muslim man, the
other an older white woman. The woman is carrying the bomb. While all
the airport security focuses on the young Muslim man, the woman slips
on board.


Rediculous. You would never get a job as a profiler.


You base this on what? Your crap job in the navy 40 years ago and no
real employment in your entire lifetime?
