Kat: I didn't propose racial profiling. Nor did I introduce the theme to provoke a fight. Racial profiling has been suggested by some (or at least one) member of congress, and I thought it might be possible to discuss the subject without rancor. I suppose not. An equally interesting discussion could be held, as someone above suggested, were the title of the thread: Are there good reasons FOR racial profiling. Could such a discussion be held without rancor? I doubt it.
