The problem I have with this kind of "profiling" is that I cannot see how it would work. If we are looking for religious identity, there is no definite clue to say what religion someone is. They can shave their beard, change their name or put a yarmulke on. The profiling could be modified to target certain countries, but we have seen that terrorism is not a phenomenon limited to any country. I see no effective profiling policy that could be implemented.
I agree with the sentiment of MrSelfDestruct:

By beefing up the screenings for everyone, everyone is safer. This would definitely raise the costs of Airport security, but it could be no more than the amount that 9/11 has cost.
