One question worth asking, though: At what point does profiling become a liability for the screening team? I'm not giving malicious travelers much time before they realize their best plan is to use couples with checked baggage and round trip tickets, people who establish a commuting pattern, people with children, etc. It's certainly harder for predominantly arab terrorist organizations to find "harmless-looking" allies that fly under the security radar, but they only need one.
