Profiling: Latest Security Meaure?


In a recent post I discussed the importance of profiling when it comes to airport security. We all know though, that profiling is not considered politically correct in the US. But it has been suggested that racial profiling would have prevented the Fort Hood shooting.

Are American's really throwing away the lives of innocent people to honor an inexplicable desire to be political correct? At first glance, profiling seems fundamentally wrong, but also could have prevented many tragedies like 9/11 and the Fort Hood shooting.

To save the lives of innocent soldiers and plane riders, I think that profiling needs to be brought back. Forget about being politically correct, and try instead to save lives. Sure every once in a while you might wrongly profile someone, but in the long run it would be beneficial for society.
