Fixed the non-link - sorry.
A certain amount of profiling does take place: obviously everyone, including TSA gets very serious when they see a turban. And the watch-list is very liberally populated with folks who statistically fit "the profile". However, folks who don't think we profile but should are generally suggesting that we have silly stuff like special Islamic lines at the airport. I will fight that.
The thing is that Al Q actively recruits westerners. It doesn't make sense to devote our resources to campaigns that won't find one class of terrorists. The more we crack down on those who look like terrorists, then the fewer who look that way will be used. So installing procedures that can't find people like Richard Reed is just stupid. I will fight that too.
Of course, that's all assuming that dear Michelle's intentions are as pure as you give her credit for.
