If you have a back pack, look sketchy or fit a profile, and you were standing NEAR where the bombs went off you deserved to be questioned. Likely before the granny with a back pack or the young mother with her daughter and a back pack.

Why? You're willing to trample on deeply held societal values like equality and privacy because a brown guy is 0.0000000001% more likely to be a mass murderer than a white grandmother? Certainly not a trade off that I am prepared to make. And, as a white male who would be sacrificing absolutely zero dignity or privacy under a racial profiling regime, its certainly not a trade off that I would cavalierly volunteer all the brown guys for.
