Why Racial Profiling Doesn’t Make Us More Secure

From Yahoo! News: Bush: U.S. Surveillance Helped Stop Attack. I’m not really interested in the article; I’m interested in this buried within it:

“‘Rather than use Arab hijackers as he had on Sept. 11, Khalid Sheik Mohammed sought out young men from Southeast Asia — whom he believed would not arouse as much suspicion,’ Bush said.”

There you have it, hard evidence for why racial profiling won’t make us any safer, even against the plans of Muslim terrorists.
