“Also on the issue of airport screening, Hoekstra adds: ‘I think clearly you need to do some type of profiling. With the number of passengers that are flying on airplanes each and every day, it’s crazy to look at them and say they’re all the same and they all pose the same risk. No, they don’t. We ought to use the profiling just to make the system more effective, more efficient, and we need to focus our resources at where we think the threat is going to be.’” [Newsmax, 11/23/10]
