If I&#x27;m reading this correctly, the security methodology is to screen all people who arrive at the airport with trained agents using &quot;age, race, religion and destination&quot; to determine how the interview should go. This is somewhat different from the kind of profiling we are talking about because a) they screen everyone who passes through and b) their assumption has to be that nearly 100% of people passing through the airport are innocent vs this kind of &quot;that guy looks guilty&quot; profiling.<p>I have some links:
