Comments on: Is Profiling of Muslims Way to Go? http://www.bidontravel.com/blog/travel/is-profiling-of-muslims-way-to-go/ Travel Updates, Tips, & Commentary Sat, 17 Jul 2010 18:50:52 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Don Nadeau http://www.bidontravel.com/blog/travel/is-profiling-of-muslims-way-to-go/comment-page-1/#comment-2780 Don Nadeau Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:19:01 +0000 http://www.bidontravel.com/blog/?p=587#comment-2780 This post uses the word "profiling" in the way most Americans do. That is selecting a group for special attention. However, security professionals use the term differently. Aviation expert Steven Frischling - @flyingwithfish - on Twitter said, "Profiling is not racial, political, religious or ethnic, it is looking at individuals on a case by case basis." Of course, not everyone agrees that those in security roles always perform as innocently as that. Racial and ethnic considerations, many believe, play a significant role in who is chosen for special attention. This post uses the word “profiling” in the way most Americans do.
