The only reason why "profiling" is frowned upon these days is because it's not PC. Because it tends to target the minorities. We are so wrapped up in trying not to offend anybody that we are going to literally kill ourselves trying to be "nice." I agree with Brianna. Profiling works. If a certain group of people (race, religion, etc.) is primarily responsible for committing certain crimes, then it is prudent to watch those who fit in that bracket. If white, protestant, irish skinny guys were responsible for blowing up shit all over the world, sure I might be a little uncomfortable being profiled, but I guess I would have to understand. Maybe it would serve as incentive for me to become proactive and protest against those responsible for the profiling instead of those who are only doing thier jobs and doing the profiling.
