The exception is for security searches that apply to every person equally.
My original question was what is so terrible about profiling? The inconvenience? I do not necessarily agree with stopping or detaining anyone randomly, like being pulled over simply for the color of your skin. But if I were stopped for another offense, such as speeding, or reckless driving, and fit the profile of a demographic of people who are the ones most likely committing a certain crime, why should I not get some extra scrutiny to make sure something is not slipping by?
