Personally, I consider profiling a legitimate tool for law enforcement. I know lots of folks disagree with me but, for example, young middleeastern males are the vast majority of bombers why search Swedish grandmothers and pass those young middleeastern males? Profiling simply indicates who to focus on the most. Others can be checked whenever something out of the ordinary shows up.
