The poster who you are responding to was talking about how the Israeli's profile in order to combat air terror which has proven more effective then the TSA.

The fact that you "feel slightly safer" does not mean that you are any safer.

You missed my point.
Would you look at a little old lady and think "I bet she's got drugs on her."
No you would think I wow I hope she does fall over or anything.

My point is profiling is pointless because you miss all the other people not in the profiled graphic, but if you target everyone you can comb through everyone.

I don't care about drugs. Drugs affect only the buyer and user. Explosives however are another matter.
