So if a white guy hijacks a plane and flies it into a building then cross-ethnic profiling will be appropriate?
Besides, I think profiling is a placebo to make us feel better.
Truth is, the only thing that's really going to keep planes safe is keeping dangerous paraphrenalia off of planes and they seem to be doing a piss-poor job of that, too.
