Jump to conclusions much? I'm speaking of the Israeli airport security system.

"The word 'profiling' is a political invention by people who don't want to do security," he said. "To us, it doesn't matter if he's black, white, young or old. It's just his behaviour. So what kind of privacy am I really stepping on when I'm doing this?"
Kinda like your knee jerk response, but by all means do carry on.

"First, it's fast — there's almost no line. That's because they're not looking for liquids, they're not looking at your shoes. They're not looking for everything they look for in North America. They just look at you," said Sela. "Even today with the heightened security in North America, they will check your items to death. But they will never look at you, at how you behave. They will never look into your eyes ... and that's how you figure out the bad guys from the good guys."
It's called behavioral profiling. Detect the bombers not the bombs. It takes specialized training, but some of the money being spent on high tech gizmos would be better spent on this effective training. We use it, on a limited scale, in my department.
