One way to defuse and shift the "racial profiling" debate
is to use the phrase "statistical profiling".

It's just a coincidence that effective statisical profiling
of terrorist bombers has a large ethnic component. But we
can't entirely rely on ethnicity. It wouldn't have caught
Reid (shoebomber), nor McVeigh, nor IRA thugs in the UK,
but it will catch a large number of real threats.

Random searches are seriously suboptimal.

Correct, and random searches punish everyone by reducing their rights. This isn't neccessary. In fact it is probably a terrorist goal to provoke an authoritarian clampdown in the U.S.

Clamp down on young Moslem men, and leave everyone else to pursue freedom. That is the only true path to victory.
