The government says to report anything suspicious... and if you do you're screwed.
So... they don't wan't to profile, but if somebody finds a suspicious note in a rest room they'll evacuate 10,000 people, bring in swat teams from 9 counties (all in camoflage suits), and then have a two hour press conference explaining how thorough they are.
Think we'll ever get serious?

Last week Newark was evacuated for a guy hopping a rope
to give a goodbye hug, last year WAS as evacuated when a 'security worker' smelled a rotten Quiznos in the wastebasket, each time flights throughout the planet thrown off. Impacts to our population reach into the $100k plus due to the overreaction.

If anyone needs screening out and profiling it's the ones that make these poor decisions. Ramping up the minimum standard of intelligence and training for TSA couldn't hurt either
