We've seen what happened in Beslan. We now need to be especially vigilant, especially in light of this story. It seems and Iraqi was arrested in Iraq in posession of a disk which contained public information on American school crisis planning. There may be an honest explanation for this, but it is extremely odd.
Maybe we can finally convince liberals that limited racial profiling is a good thing--for the children.

Where do you draw the limit line?
The world "profiling" is so loaded. No one seems to complain when it is used to catch serial killers.
It is a respected technique. And "racial" profiling was best described by Jesse Jackson who once remarked that if he walked down a dark street at 2 in the morning and he saw a black man, he would be scared. SO, racial profiling is just using collected data to form empirical knowledge upon which you can act. No more. No less.
Where do you draw the line? Profiling is a criminal investigation technique. Draw the line at the crime?
Would racial profiling have helped stop the unabomber's deeds?
How about the anthrax letters?
Also, just because someone's name is Muhammed Ali, are you going to stop him because he *looks* 'suspiscious'?
