Of all those who remarked on the TSA, Ron Paul was the only one with sense enough to see that racial profiling is A.) unfair and B.) counter-productive. By profiling, we are “digging a hole for ourselves,” he said. “What if [the terrorist] look like Timothy McVeigh? You know, he was a pretty tough criminal,” explained Paul, referencing the white American who orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombing. Implementing a superficial screening process based on xenophobia and hateful loathing ends up eroding all of our rights, explained Paul, because terrorism is not a person — it’s a tactic. Said Paul, “[Terrorism] isn’t a person. It isn’t a people. So this is a very careless use of words. What about this? Sacrifice liberties because there are terrorists?”
