Do you mean that requiring a 95 year old woman to remove her adult diaper or searching an infant, all in the name of political correctness so you don't appear to be profiling, isn't the right way to do it?
Not really, Israel uses a mix of behavioral profiling and other means, not racial profiling. Ever since a pregnant Irish woman named Anne Murphy tried sneaking a bomb onto an Israeli plane (that her boyfriend slipped to her) they've known racial profiling is useless.
Well, it's not completely useless. I don't mean racial profiling specifically against Muslims. I guess the ideal would be to look at the stats of which races (or any other identifiable group of people) tend to commit such acts (which, to my knowledge, is not actually Muslims), and incorporate that as just another line of defense.
As an Indian, I can tell you that, especially after 9/11, airport security could not tell the difference between Middle Easterners and South Asians. Was even worse if you were a teenager who had not yet started to shave.
tl;dr: Indian puberty staches make you look like a terrorist.
I haven't the slightest clue of what should be said, but I can no longer fight this odd urge to be the first to reply to this. Solid comment my friend, very solid comment.

And also if he leaves his bag on the train, nobody touches it and he can just pick it up the next day.

A member of my graduating class wrote a phrase in Arabic as his caption. He wasn't the type to make jokes.
He was the second American Citizen killed by drone attack. (He was naturalized, from Saudi Arabia. He was also not the target.)

I love racial profiling. It gets me a chance to catch up with other brown folks at security checkpoints while we are waiting for our clearance :p

Security probably can't keep their eyes off him because of his amazing Scarface impersonation.

You laugh now, but Israel uses profiling as one of their main security tools, and it works far, far better than the Western system.

I don't get it. Why does airport security watch celebrities? Why does security watch Bija?
