Racial profiling and terrorism

In the shadow of Mumbai, Koen Rooijmans utters the word from which politicians shy; profiling, meaning sorting people by their racial background. "We don't like to discriminate but we know where the problem is coming from. Profiling (racial profiling) is a dirty word here in Australia, but I would do it," says the CEO of Brisbane Airport Corporation. "There's always ways to plan a terror attack. The only way to avoid it is if you have intelligence. People have guns and they can come to our car parks if they want or go to hotels or stations. You can't prevent that. You say: 'Let's be realistic. Where are these guys coming from? What is their background?'"
