I think I would feel safer if they were looking at a bunch of other stuff -- religious views, national origin, travel to countries like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia -- rather than ethnicity. The profile is no good if it sweeps up too many people. It becomes an exercise in CYA before the courts rather than a tool to catch the right people.
