White males between the ages of 40 - 60 can be stopped and identified and have SEC and/or IRS investigations performed to determine if they have stolen large sums of money. They are statistically more likely to have commited those types of crimes.
I'm sure we'd catch more criminals this way.

What are we talking about here? National Security or White-Collar Crime? I agree with both you guys as far as how to deal with each type of situation, but I would say that the subject of National Security is what concerns more Americans these days, as voiced in the presidential election.
I think the situation speaks for itself. If one reads the news and is up on current events, one knows what the situation is and who is doing what. Yet I don't see how it helps the situation for us ordinary citizens to get worked up about it by singling out a certain ethnicity/religion. Leave matters of national security to the professionals.
