"other than race, religion, or national origin." Let's look at the terror watch list: I can bet 9/10 people on the list are from similar middle eastern countries, similar skin color and are from the same or similar religion. Profiling based on this information isn't profiling based on any of these things, but based on risk factors and previous history. The problem is that you can't even profile based on obvious history without also being accused of profiling based on religion or skin color. This is what I'm talking about when I refer to 'political correctness'. Suspicious people can't be singled out without the PC police coming out in full force. "ignore political correctness and do it based on something other than race, religion, or national origin." I wish the terrorists bombing planes and killing innocent people were from different countries with different religions, but it's just not reality. |
