Racial Profiling in Drug Cases is nothing new. Drug Charges frequently arise when law enforcement makes a warrantless arrest of suspects or seizure of contraband without a search warrant. I just reviewed a decision where …
The very thought of making racial profiling legal in the US makes many people go ballistic.
But why?
Racial profiling would most likely have prevented 9/11, and almost certainly prevented the Fort Bragg attack and the list goes on and on.
The vast majority of illegal immigrants in the US are Mexicans but many others nationalities are here illegally too.
So please tell me why the US doesn’t introduce racial profiling and thereby help prevent further acts of terror and other illegal actions?

When law enforcement officials are looking for a serial killer, they don’t bother talking to very many females.
Nor do they question many blacks, Hispanics, or Middle-Easterners.
Why?
Because doing so would be an absolute waste of time since they know that the overwhelming odds are that the killer is going to be a male who is white, and who either lives alone or lives with his mom.
So they look for men who fit that profile rather than wasting their time investigating those who don’t fit the profile.
Just imagine how long investigations would last if agents tracking a serial killer were forced to interrogate equal numbers of male and female suspects and equal numbers of blacks, Hispanics, whites or Middle-Easterners.
The investigators would have to spend the majority of their time talking to people whom they knew had nothing to do with the crime in order to satisfy guidelines that were out of touch with reality.
Several years ago I flew from Miami to Tel Aviv on El Al Airlines and right after I got my ticket at the El Al counter, and long before I got anywhere near the airplane, a young woman from the airline gave me the third degree.
When I got to the gate, after going through security like everybody else, I was pulled aside for a second security check, this time by El Al. and this time they went through my luggage before they let me on the plane.
Did I like it at the time?
Not especially.
Did I feel safer flying on El Al to a part of the world where bad things happen way too often rather than on some other airline?
Definitely.
Call it anything you want, but there’s no way around the fact that I was profiled.
Israelis, who know a little bit about terrorism, don’t cringe when it comes to profiling.
Let’s just say no one will confuse Israeli security agents with the ACLU.
But why me?
I was different becase almost everyone on the flight was an Israeli, and not only was I not Israeli but I was merely changing planes in Tel Aviv, en route to Amman, Jordan.
I believe that El Al security agents had every right to profile me!
So what if I wasn’t a terrorist.
How were they supposed to know, unless they treated me as a special case?
Unless they profiled me.
I call implementing profiling implementing common sense!
I don’t see any 75-year-old grandmas trying to blow up airliners.
Don’t fall for the political correctness disease that is crippling our security.
It’s deadly as in deadly!
Case in point, the Ft. Hood terrorist act.
There were lots of good reasons for the Army to suspect this Hasan scum, but they couldn’t act on them because that would have been “racial profiling”, so a lot of people died and lots more were injured.
A friend of mine was an instructor in an Army school for four years and he told me that he noticed students seating preferences throughout those years as new classes arrived.
One day he told his peers that taught other subjects that he was going to predict where the joker of the class was going to sit, where the sharpshooter was going to sit, where the quiet one was going to sit, where the genius of the class was going to sit, and where the one that likes to argue was going to sit, and also where the two that had be joking and teasing each other all day were going to sit.
Well, guess what he was 100% correct!!
He said his peers were simply amazed at first that he was correct, but after reflection they didn’t even try to dispute his observation because they then started remembering previous groups and they started to name students and to state where they had sat and the type of of person that they were.
Well almost every media source in the US is now screaming out that Americans would prefer profiling to scanners and having their “junk” played with; and Americans are right.
The following talkback was a reply to a Black leftist (Liberal?!) who wrote that profiling not only wouldn’t work, but would also be “a breach of our liberties”.
