In an interview with Fox, Newt Gingrich says the following:

"It is time to know more about would-be terrorists, to profile for terrorists and to actively discriminate based on suspicious terrorist information."

What do you guys think of the idea to racially profile airport passengers. Proponents of racial profiling say that it would be done as a safety measure and only accepted at airports. However, I personally don't like the idea at all and think that it could lead to a greater acceptance of profiling in the larger community. Once we think it is okay to racially profile someone at the airport, what is stop people from assuming that it is okay to do the same at the grocery store? If anything, geographic profiling may be a better alternative. For example, flights coming in from Yemen could have stricter regulations.

What do you guys think about this issue?
