Discrimination? You bet!

Critics argue that "profiling" is discriminatory. I sure hope so!--the purpose and intent of profiling is to distinguish (discriminate) between high-risk and low-risk individuals.

The ACLU representative claimed that screening profiles are discriminatory if they disproportionately identify individuals from certain minority groups. Assuming the statistical validity of the criteria, the ACLU seems to be saying that profiling for terrorism is discriminatory if it disproportionately identifies terrorists!?
