Racial and profiling in general doesn’t work?
I have always been a bit suspicious of the idea that it is a good thing to use profiling as a means of catching criminals and/or terrorists and I was pleased to see this article that suggests that it actually is not the most accurate means of catching people:
According to new research, it is no more effective to profile strongly—that is, subject individuals to increased scrutiny in proportion to their presumed likelihood of malfeasance—than it is to randomly flag individuals in the general population when it comes to rooting out terrorism. The reason, says study author William Press, a computer scientist and computational biologist at the University of Texas at Austin: terrorists are vastly outnumbered by innocents, and it’s a waste of time and money to screen and rescreen the same benign people.
