Well we barely escaped another terrorist attack on a airline flight on Christmas day due the stupidity of the terrorist who tried to light off the device in his seat rather do it in the privacy of the bathroom.. Every time we ask this question in a poll the left is up in arms and the question is usually voted down, so again I ask the question....

It's not our responsibility to solve the problems of every suicidal person who comes along.A person who is willing to tie dynamite to his chest, and kiss his Kids goodbye, has a motive for his actions. Ever wonder what makes him tick??? that may help understand the enemy. We must get to understand our enemy better than he does himself. Which is the first thing to do, before destroying him.

These men ARE suicidal in my opinion. Their feelings of despair are exploited by leaders who prey upon them in order to forward their cause and their own status within that movement.
It's not natural for any human being to not seek to preserve his or her own life unless something has gone awry. Most likely the subjects are depressed and might respond to pharmaceutical intervention. Some of them may may be more than depressed with more severe mental problems.
I don't think any one is suggesting that it's our responsibility to solve the problems of suicidal people, but learning motivations is a good step in learning how to identify those who are likely to cause problems.
Profile WHO? Blacks, browns, muslims, people with scary names, people with turbans, swarthy foreigners, the Czechs, etc.?
Probably a good place to start would be with men. They are most likely to hijack airplanes.
As far as me, I'm more nervous about the pilot having not had enough sleep or the mechanic having done a slipshod job.
Well, first off what kind of profiling are you talking about? Racial/ethnic profiling, religious profiling, forensic profiling, offender profiling, etc. There's a lot of different kinds. I'm assuming you're discussing racial profiling, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Secondly, the biggest question is, does it actually work? I've read a couple different studies, but the general consensus seems to be that yes, it is effective to a degree, at least for certain crimes. One of those studies is linked below.
Racial Profiling Works!!!: Operations & Tactics at Officer.com
Finally, you have to consider the fact that it creates a very adversarial relationship between members of the groups being profiled against and the police/TSA/whoever. It also subjects a lot of innocent people to major disruptions in their travel plans for no other reason than they're members of a certain race, which is (perhaps arguably) against the 4th and 14th amendments.
Taking all that together, personally, I don't believe the benefits of profiling are worth the downsides it carries with it. If it were more effective, I might feel differently, but profiling isn't a magic bullet against terrorism, it's just one tool among many.
That is and easy one......Who is committing all the terrorist attacks in the world? Its radical Islam and I would profile any Islamic person that boarded a plane.......I am sorry it has to come to this but we are fighting for our very existence here......The left won't even say the words Islamic Terrorists.....They want to call it a police problem.............I say bull ****...........

We can't profile Muslims efffectively because they come in all colours, so the solution is obvious...
All Muslims in the UK and the U.S. should be required to wear arm bands with the star and moon on them so that we know who the Muslims are at all times. Then we can search their belongings more effectively when they want to board aircraft.
Why stop at airline flights? What makes airline unique. If you are going to engage in racial profiling then you should do it in all aspects of life.
Better yet, we could do what we did with the japanese in WWII and put all arab/Americans in internment camps. Wasn't that something that you were advocating just about a month ago, Navy?
All the terrorism in the world? Like the Oklahoma bombing? The abortion clinic bombings?
