Why Profile for Air Travel

Finding a terrorist is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So why not figure out a way to make the haystack smaller? Profiling will do just that, by dramatically reducing the number of people who get scrutiny.

Intensive searching of all American citizens as they try to use air travel is not only a violation of due process rights, but as an effective matter, it baloons the size of the population that will be searched - 99%-plus unnecessaily.

The government runs it.  With their track record, does anyone think it's smart?
