What I think we have is an “anti-profiling” policy. Whatever the terrorists have last tried, that now gets applied to the general population, but with those who share the narrow terrorist attributes such as race, religion, country of origin, age, sex (i.e. Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40), etc. excluded, because that would be profiling and of course we can’t have that. On our quarterdecks, we conducted “random” searches for weapons and “illegal substances”, and you can bet your a** that known druggies, i.e. the ones who parted their hair down the middle, always ended up in the “random” group. I guess we just randomly and arbitrarily changed our selection criteria, i.e. “today, at this moment, anyone wearing purple pants gets searched”.
