Is it? One of the problems with profiling, it makes people lazy, and
mistakes are made. Take this list the morons are passing around, looks
just dandy, doesn't it? Just one of the problems, Sirhan Sirhan wasn't a
Muslim. He was a Christian. Fortunately, this would be a problem of
inclusion, but lazy people also make mistakes of exclusion, allowing true
terrorists, that don't fit their simplistic profile, to do their damage.
Personally, I'd rather have my security dependent on professionals doing
their jobs, not dependent on lazy morons. But hey, make your own choice.
