The whole point of profiling is identifying something that increases the
likelihood that the person profiled is doing something wrong.  If intelligence
says an asian person has a bomb, doming a random search of a Hispanic or a white
nun is stupid.
 
Like is or not there are legitimate factors that could and should be used.

Nothing, if you are not basing it on race, but rather behavior.  Maybe they
ought to focus on the people who look really nervous.
