I think that profiling is important, but one of the things that should be obvious from our own little SI universe, there are many anti-american americans who could conceivably be swung over to be sympathetic to the fundamentalist muslim views. How many times have we seen middle aged white american men and women say that 9/11 was our own fault? If I was a ME terrorist, I would be probing for sympathetic people who would *not* fit the profile and I would send them through airport security to carry the easily assembled bomb parts.

In other words, I don't think that the policy of checking out everyone, regardless of profile, is a bad thing. Of course, I support profiling 100%.
