This isn't an easy topic, but think of it this way. Surely it's inefficient to be patting down grandma at the airport.

If we get another airplane incident, and all of those in control of security have been waiving the charter of rights and freedoms flag have to go around and tell several hundred families that their loved one is dead. And the families ask could you have done anything to better ward off terrorists, and security says "ya, we could have profiled but we didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings".
