If you were right, and profiling techniques would not detect "grandmothers and children", how do you explain the lack of "grandmother and children" bombers at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv?
People are hung up on racial stereotypes when profiling is discussed. It is also country of origin, flying status, behavior, actions, reactions, eye contact and their air of suspiciousness that get you more scrutiny in Israel.
This has to be analyzed with a clear head and an open mind. The machines we have are already obsolete to the future of terrorism with bombs inserted in body cavities and surgically implanted.
There is no other way than to use intelligent profiling to detect the threat. It's not perfect, but then nothing is.
