    Yes, because Israeli airports are certainly not known for harrassment of certain ethnicities.theylove to tell you how its all about behaviour, but any palestinian will tell you its all about having an arab-sounding name or skin tone.

    Anyway.... The normal association with the term profiling is racial profiling, if you didn't mean that it would've been smart to specify the kind of profiling you're talking about so that people can understand what you mean.

    Behavioural profiling could work, sure, but I'm fairly certain it'll descend into harassment of minorities sooner or later. And I still don't see any need for it.

    Hehehe, some people just seem determined to make a lifestyle out of being offended, and that offends me. Perhaps those who "fit the profile" should direct their indignation toward those who teach/urge/abet/act upon the criminal behavior. Yes, let's not try what works because uh...oh yeah, someone might be offended. Better to just whine, wring our hands and wait for a bunch of politicians who don't fly commercial with the unwashed masses to do something.

    Now there's a business opportunity for a trusting sympathetic socialistic minded entrepreneur. No Frisk Airlines. With all the disgruntled passengers out there it's sure to be da bomb.
