What do you think about profiling?

I’ve been thinking. Wouldn’t it be much better for the country if people were allowed to profile?

I mean, at the airport, people can be selected to have a search done on them, correct? And this search is used to prevent terrorism and the like, right? So wouldn’t it be much more efficient for the people that conduct the search to actually search people who really look like a terrorist? Like the people who come in from Middle Eastern countries. They are known for terrorism, so we should search them. Oh, but that would be profiling, we can’t do that.

My question is, what do you make of this? Do you think it’s alright not to profile? Or would you prefer they don’t profile?
