Profiling Can Be the Best Way To Go

Profiling Can Be the Best Way To Go By Elton Camp If a feeble, little old lady comes walking by Is your reaction the same if a thug you spy? If not, then it’s profiling in which you engaged A practice that makes some become so enraged But there are times it can make a whole lot of sense Especially if against terrorists you’re making a defense Airport security is an excellent example of such a time The emphasis should on those likely to commit crime Experience with terrorists causes us to know the type To screen those more is no valid reason for any to gripe To search a young kid from head to toe Most certainly is not the correct way to go A turbaned man muttering, “Allah be blessed” Carefully check and if necessary then arrest If he calls it “discrimination,” what do we care Good sense can be far more important than fair
