Besides the obvious PC reasons, the problem with profiling is?
Is this not a way for the cops to be more effective with the resources they have? Do they not look to a certain age, sex, race for specific types of crimes? Do they not use these techniques because past experience has taught them it is a way to maximize their effectiveness?
Would we rather them waste time checking out people who most likely have nothing to hide?
The airport is a classic example. Many times have I seen grandpa, pasty white old guy being searched at the check point. Does anybody really think he is packin' a couple of pounds of C-4, or perhaps it is better to concentrate on those that typically blow up airliners??????????
yes that's right, that threat seems to be coming from middle eastern males.
I don't know the answers to all these questions, but this makes sense to me.
