I know that. They read his first and last name, his country of origin (Morocco), and that's enough.

Sure maybe granny is a secret sympathizer, but where is the smart money? When middle aged white Christians start to blow up planes or fly them into buildings then PLEASE profile me, I don't want to die on a flight because someone was too sensitive.

Maybe
he didn't fly a plane into a building, but he parked a truck filled with explosives next to one, and detonated them.
He didn't do it with a plane, but he very well could have. He's pretty close to your description of people who shouldn't be profiled..should they? What about those kids who shoot up their schools, and malls? They're not necessarily arab. The mall shooter was white, the Vtech shooter was asian. The DC snipers were black. Ethnicity has nothing to do with it.
Profiling is wrong, it's useless, and it's incredibly insulting to those treated differently.
