The point I was trying to get at, though not spelling out, is that I am less interested in changing the rules than I am in changing that system so that security personnel are empowered to use informed and reasonable discretion to find the people who are a threat. Saying you're going to start profiling is like saying you're going to start using computers -- not necessarily a good or bad idea.
