Here's a good example of why profiling alone doesn't work.

Besides, should we allow you to rent a U-Haul in Oklahoma?

No problem, right up to the time you want to load it up with ammonium nitrate. Which brings us right back to what it is you try to "bring onboard".

And for profiling gone wrong, let me just remind you of the DC sniper. They were looking for white vans and white males. They ended up being black males and a blue car.

And of course the one thing "they" definitely weren't. A muslim named Muhammad. (Sorry you left that part out Tony).

Yeah, I'm sorry I did, too. It proves my point even more. They were looking for white males in a white van, no thoughts of looking for ex-Army muslims.

Thanks for helping me make my point about how profiling absolutely failed even stronger.
