Both good points, Linz. I enjoy sparring with you. I agree that only looking at those who fit the profile means that "unusual" perps can slip through the cracks. That's a practical argument against profiling that I can accept. What I can't accept are the PC arguments, because they just don't make sense to me.
As for helping them change your country, I agree there too. There aren't any solid answers. But I think in war time, which this is, we are called on to give up a lot of freedom for the sake of security. That's why the supreme court applies strict scrutiny to this kind of thing, and demands that the government show a darn good reason for suspending a person's freedom without a trial. It's a policy that should not be abused, but it should also not be eliminated, IMO.
