shouldn`t this means airport shouldn`t even bother selling tickets to middle-eastern people?
since it`s not like they`ll ever get on the plane on-time.

Middle Eastern, Italian, Hispanic, Filipino, etc. etc. 

Very sorry to see this happen.

"Currently, FBI agents need reasons--" Oh what sillies! Reasons, please. That's so pre-9/11.

see
the reason I`m against profiling got nothing to do with civil rights
it got something to do with bad security.
there is a very serious weakness to racial profiling.
it tends to give tunnel vision to people who use it and WILL lets possible suspects through.
I`m not making this up I`m using fact.
drug trafickers use college girls to transport drugs.
knowing fully no cop will ever search them for drugs
don`t forget john lind walker(american taliban) does not fit any profile as a suspect.
I think queen noor of jordan is a strawberry blonde.
it just don`t seem that much of a hardship for the enemy to get around profiling
if anything it`s helpful
remember for the past few years they even recruit women.

Lanya, you're so pre-9/11! Don't you know that it changed everything!

The system works. All hail the system!

Kimba, when a woman crashes her pretty little self along with her hijacked airplane into a large building then we'll add her to the profile. But now that you've questioned the system, we'll have to ask you to beg forgiveness by typing "Islam is evil and wishes to destroy all of western civilization" 400 times on MS-Word and emailing it to your local system agent.

After that, please write your Congressman and express your anger over the horrible security at the Mexican border.

Key sentences in the article:

Among factors that could make someone subject of an investigation is travel to regions of the world known for terrorist activity, access to weapons or military training, along with the person's race or ethnicity. Law enforcement officials say the policy would help them find terrorists before they strike.

The new policy, law enforcement officials say, would let agents open terrorism investigations after mining public records and intelligence to build a profile of traits that, taken together, are deemed suspicious.

Race and or ethnicity alone is not enough to raise suspicions.

uhm
it was in the news that al qeada recruits women.
but note you state only when she crashes a plane into a building is when it`s worth putting her on the list
as I stated tunnel vision
you`ll refuse any other demographic ,untill something happens

bt
true it`s use as a addition
but profiling has a tendency to make people very sloppy
I pointed one police has full knowledge of college girls are used for drug trafikking,but still they target the usual suspects.
something about profilling makes people not believe anything other methods
quite interesting
