The Christmas Day Bomber, who had powder in his underpants, could have been stopped a year ago. No, not because he is Muslim; I am against Religious and Racial Profiling. But the fact that he once was on a terror watch list; arrived at airport with not much carryon luggage; and bought with cash a one-way ticket to fly via a passport with a history of being in rogue countries, should have given a perfect profile that he may be a terrorist, and thus being stopped. – If only Reasonable Profiling had been in place.

However, had he arrived at the European airport with the current TSA rules, he would have a huge chance of not being stopped for a screening because we don’t use Reasonable Profiling. Instead, we treat everyone as equal suspects – thus enabling more attacks to take place.
