There is this assumption that profiling is inherently evil. And operating under this assumption people (read: Government Officials) go to extremes to NOT profile like a few weeks ago when we took a cross country flight and "I" was singled out (Me, a white Irish German Polock) for a random wand search while sitting surrounded by three very Arabic/Muslim men who were not even glanced at.
