In the early 70's, a friend of mine was stopped as he was getting on a plane. The reason? He was told he fit the profile for potential hijackers. And the profile? "Young and male."

OK, let the liberals complain about that profile.

Oh yes, my friend is white.

In the sixties/seventies we were stopped all the time just for being teen-aged males. It's the way things were.

Did he look Hispanic? At that time, you remember, every knucklehead that wanted to garner attention was hijacking planes to Havana.

The issue I have with all of this is the Liberals blurring "racial" profiling i.e. singling out a person only because of their race, and "criminal profiling" which surveys many more factors than just race, although race is a significant element.

The distinction is important and is going to get a lot of us killed if the FBI, etc. is not allowed to "profile".
