Profiling-good; you don't like it find other means of commerce.
No carryons;
Armed troops in the airport;
Armed marshalls on every flight;
All checked luggage extensively screened and more limits on what could be brought on as checked luggage, maybe one small bag. Ship the rest. Maybe no checked bags. Don't like it, tough shit!
It'd be a pain, but it would be secure, and the markets would likely create some alternatives to deal with the difficulties.

The Israelis have a real commitment to security. They hire smart people who use their judgment to identify passengers who might pose a risk. TSA hires dopes whose judgment can't be trusted, and so rather than relying on their judgment it imposes stupid rules on everyone. Does it make sense for octogenarians in wheelchairs to get the same scrutiny as young men?
I'm not sure what you mean by profiling in this context, but we probably agree.
How long before laptops all have clear cases?
