You are talking two different things. Monitoring a group because you believe they might be promoting terrorism is one thing. I agree with that.

Singling people out in a line of people flying to NYC from London because they fit a particular description is racial profiling. Aside from the fact that its an indication of racism, its a rather stupid approach to solving the problem.


Ted, Dottore, you tell me the difference.
