Ethnic profiling is not a viable solution for combating terrorism.
Singling out passengers on the basis of race or religion would trigger the issue of discrimination. Alternatively, an environment of equality would increase the collaborative action of everyone.
What we really need is strict alertness of official security agencies. Of course, the official role of security has to be complemented by a vigilant sense of responsibility maintained by all of us.
Israel has long managed a highly successful security system for the Israeli air industry. What about copying the Israeli model instead of inventing a system which might be proven infeasible down the road?

Couldn't agree more on the profiling bit.We are bound to see a rush towards costly hitech equipment as an immediate if not enhancement solution- this to me is responding to a mosquito bite with a hammer. What the decision makers are forgeting is the integral part human factors play in all spheres AVSEC included. A people (read security staff and stakeholders)driven initiative is the NO.1 solution
