I meant profiling on looks alone is not _enough_. I thought your point was a middle-aged white guy who was in the Army couldnt be a terrorist, and shouldnt be looked at while profiling. So I pointed out that might not be 100% true. (like Timothy McVeigh)
The others were me expanding on that idea as I thought through it. There _has_ to be a way to target the RIGHT bad people, while not spending a ton of time on the WRONG not bad people. Too bad we don't offer a 10 million dollar prize for the right algotithm like netflix did for better recommendations.
