Profiling has been argued to death here, I won't repeat it. For now, to not profile is crazy, especially is the profiling only involves a closer search.

I have no idea what profiling means (and that's rhetorical - there is no need for anyone to give me an exegesis on profiling).
My touchstone is whether or not (i) there is discrimination based on race or national origin; and (ii) with state participation or action or in a matter of public accomodation.
My further assumption is that when the government violates the constitution, the violation is one that affects all of us, because it means we can no longer count on having the rights set out in that document. And the violation doesn't only occur when someone complains.
