We have a brain so that we can consider our actions and its ramifications, not so that we can justify racism and hysteria. My brain tells me that there is a higher probability that a terrorist will have certain physical characteristics based on previous history. These are cold facts...not racism or hysteria. I am very thankful that these same characteristics can be used to identify suspicious people inquiring about crop-dusting, transporting hazardous materials, etc. Call it racism if you like...I prefer to call it intuition. The cold facts are that higher percentages of certain folks commit higher percentages of certain crimes...to ignore that is foolhardy in my opinion. This is not an excuse for vigilantes but we should not ignore the common sense God gave us to alert appropriate authorities of suspicious people for thorough and unbiased investigation. albany.edu
