JE, the Israelis totally profile, but not by race or religion. They profile by being from certain countries; by appearance; by behavior. We should do the same thing but we don't. Instead, we panic when we find someone has found a new way to smuggle something in and target that method. Gee, don't you think the next smuggler will figure out another way and another and another? Being a day behind isn't the way to go. The Israelis have a plan that has worked for more years than some of us have been alive and they don't change it every time someone tries something different nor do they go overboard and perform illegal searches and seizures. Shame the rest of us can't learn to adapt it.
