These types of programs never work. There is a huge body of data that shows that 'profiling' is both ineffective and discrimitory.

The other problem with this kind of program is it always gets abused. Since 9-11 various government agencies have been putting out no fly lists. There have been many reports by people who are know political activists that have been prevented from flying. There has been no way to appeal to get your name off the list. I read a news report about some very common name like 'John Williams' and many people with that name got pulled aside and searched/questioned every time they tried to fly. The reporter had actually tracked down several people with this name that had been hassled.
