Passenger profiling is a controversial practice that involves identifying individuals who may pose a security threat based on certain characteristics, such as their race, religion, or nationality. However, some prefer to use alternate terms to describe this practice, such as behavior detection, risk assessment, or targeted screening. While these synonyms may sound less discriminatory, they still involve singling out individuals based on subjective factors, which can lead to unfair treatment and infringement of basic rights. As such, it is essential to approach security screening with a balanced approach that includes utilizing technology, intelligence analysis, and human judgment to ensure the safety of all passengers without violating their civil liberties.
