Of course, not all Muslems, Arabs, etc. are terrorists. That's not my contention, or the message of the email. The idea is that it's ridiculous not to use a powerful investigative tool to prevent the deaths of innocents. Profiling shouldn't be abused, but to discount it entirely is silly.

Profiling has proven that serial killers are primarily white males. If there were serial killings in my hometown, I expect I would fit at least that part of the profile.

Ku Klux Klan members are almost exclusively white. Wouldn't it be stupid to investigate an African-American for a KKK cross burning?

The point is not to believe that all Muslem males between 25-40 years old are terrorists, but should it be automatically assumed they are no more likely to be terrorists than a 60 year old Chinese female? Wouldn't that be a bit silly?

I am well aware that terrorists can be 20 something, white, male former US military personel, but thanks for pointing it out...lol
Well, Ron you are wrong in several points and I feel it is my duty to point them out:

1. 60 year old Chinese females are usually kung fu fighting (fast as lightning) and should be checked out
2. 80 year old females are a bit bitter about the system. The frisking of these females would probably put them in a better mood.
3. I can safely say that all of the KKK is white (caucasian). Not some, not most, but all. Granted, they should all be eviscerated, bludgeoned, and have their entrails strewn about the landscape...but that is a topic for another time.
4. I've never thought of you as a killer, Ron. More like a verbose genius with visions of exposition.
