What passes for wisdom these days

The head of the TSA was on CNN and said this, after being shown all sorts of intrusive and offensive searches being inflicted on the traveling public:

people talk about, well, why don’t we profile? Of course we don’t do that here in the U.S.

Rubbish. We all profile, apparently except for these fools, and it is a good thing. Cops profile and it prevents crimes. Doctors profile, and it saves lives. There is no wisdom without the ability to generalize and differentiate. It’s sad how far this country has fallen.
