I would rather be that than dumber than a lump of paste.

Who said anything about suspects? If you are saying that you would feel fine getting on a plane with a group of Arab males, who have thick accents, between the ages of fifteen and sixty, without them getting an extra search, as you would feel with their Norwegian counterparts (all other factors being the same), you are lying.
