This is a guest post from Jason Riley. Behavioral Profiling is, first and foremost, NOT racial profiling. When identifying threats, we shouldn't focus on race, religion, or ethnicity, but instead on behavior within a given situation. Unfortunately, since 2001, most Americans, including military and law enforcement personnel, have fallen victim to Islamophobia. We constantly look for people who look like “terrorists.” By this we implicitly mean young to middle-aged middle-eastern Muslim males.
