I understand the concerns regarding profiling, but public safety requires a reasonable attention to detail, all of which should be done respecting everyone's civil rights and yes there is no question that INS has to do its job more effectively. Guests in my home do not have the same rights as family members. * * *

I'm for analysis that leads to being more productive. So if there is a way to profile and this is more efficient then I am 100% for it. The first freedom or civil liberty is life and all should be done to remove threats to life. If saving someone's life causes some discomfort to some, that's tuff. Any person in power can abuse or not abuse that power. Profiling is not an abuse of power. If there are more good people than bad people the power will be used for good. And the bad people will abuse it. And if they don't use profiling to hide behind they will use something else. Restricting profiling simply removes an effective tool for good people to do their jobs better and does nothing tp prevent bad or stupid people from being bad or stupid. You cannot pass laws that prevent stupid people from being stupid. tom watson tosiwmee
